Editor The Eagle.
Oxford, Miss.
oughly familia~ with the organization
OF the Council of Defense system
through out the country Under the
Council of National Defense in Wash
ington, consisting of the Secretaries
Of War. Navy, Interior. Agriculture,
Commerce and Labor. and with Groes-
venor b. Clarkson as Director, theve
has been built-up under the governors
Of the forty-eight states complete
defense system now consisting in addi
tion to the state organization, of H.,
900 counties, 10000 women's divisions.
and some 164. 900 community and mum
icipal units. This great field machin
cry has represented the people Of the
United States in Washington and has
carried through to the smallest com
munity the problems and measures of
The national government during the
war.
In Washington the Council of Ma
.ional Defense has created such vital
bodies rs the War Industries Board.
the Aircraft Production Board. the
Commercial Economy Board, acting in
a sense as great administrative
laboratory; and other similar govern
ment war agencies. The Council Of
National Defense has been content to
ouild these agencies and turn over to
them the specific problems which come
within their jurisdiction.
1t had not originally been the inten-
tion to continue the state council of
defense system beyond the date of the
signing OF the armistice. However,
We find many problems that now re-
guire careful neutrality-suspicious. in
which the cooperation of the people
throughout the United States is not
only desirable but absolutely neces-
