DR.. Thayer had wired to the Sec
rotary asking If this was an oppor-
tune time for the organization to be
effected, Many comments had been
which such attempts should be
made. There were those in Water

dom of the action. Others, taking
refuge in a convenient excuse. had
made the same criticism.
So that there would be no honest
doubt in the matter a wire was sent
direct to Secretary Redfeld, at
Washington. asking if this was an
opportune time for such movement.
The wire of inquiry outlined the
plan and purpose. The reply was
immediate and certain. 1t follows:
