A secretary of national defense. who
in time of war would be the special
representative OF the President.
whose duty it would be to coordinate
the War Department.. the Navy De-

proposed in a plan for the reorgani-

submitted yesterday afternoon by
Benedict Crowell, assistant secretary
of war, to the Senate military affairs
committee.
'I believe that with the manifold
duties of the President in time OF
war" said Mr.. Crowell, "he should
find it only necessary to lay down
general principles. 1t is. therefore.
in my opinion, absolutely essential
that he be represented in the matter
of national defense of the country by
a person having official existence,
such as a secretary of national de-

Would Head War Boards.

Mr. Crowell said that this secretary
should also be chairman of the war
Industries Board. of which a skeleton
organization should be maintained In
time of peace. All other war boards,
also. should function under him.
The assistant secretary laid before
the committee a comprehensive plan
for the reorganization of the war
Department itself. which undertook TO
separate the civilian duties from the
military, and to place a director or
munitions at the head of one. and the
chief of staff at the head of the other.
The director of munitions, he SAID
should be a civilian, a man OF expert
ence in the industrial world and pus;-
ness world He should retain his civil
ian status. and in the matters per
tanning to procurement Of supplies
would be in command. under the Sec
retary of War. Mr.. Crowell said. he
would do away with the present Of
nee of assistant secretary of war IN
lHimes of peace, he said. the assistant
: secretary of war has been about as
useful as "a man who picks blooms
off a century plant"

Suggests co-ordinatins Body.

Directly under the director of mu-
,pitions would be a small group Of
men designed to coordinate the sup
ply functions of the bureaus. In time
Of peace this would be limited to a
very few men. Under this small CO.
ordinating body, headed by the d.
rector of munitions, should be placed
the supply bureaus which were in
existence before the war, and TO them
should be added the new departments
which have been found necessary dur
ing the war. The bureaus deem nee
essary for the proper execution Of
the munitions program OF the Army
are the ordnance department, Merical
Corps, Transportation Corps Cinclud-
ing Motor Transport), the Construc-
tion Corps and the Chemical Warfare
Service. and there should also be un-
der the control of the director Of mu-
nitions the finance department"
In regard TO the system OF promo
tiop within these bureaus and corps.
Mr.. Crowell said. up to the grade Of
captain. promotion should be govern
Nd by seniority alone. Between the
grades of captain and colonel. In
elusive. while seniority should have
predominant weight. a small proper
tion of the officers should be promo ed
by selection. Promotion to general
officers. he said. should be by selec-
tion alone.

Opposes General Stairs Plan.

This plan of the assistant secretary
would throw a monkey wrench into
the ambition Of the general stan to
control all functions of the War De-
partment. The proposed chief of mu-
nitions would 80 c~-t-ol over all
the Industrial m, ,crs ling to the
Army.
when munitions must be provided
- the quantities necessary for Q ma
j6f war" said Mr. Crowell, "the Ques-
ton of procurement and production
becomes Of tremendous Importance. 1t
10 not too.much to say that the in
dustrial stability of the country de-
pends upon the ability and skill with
which these questions are handled,
II 10 believed that the ability, expert
ence and skill for this kind Of work
can be found only among the indus
trial leaders who have spent their life
time in the study and solution of ia
dustriai problems.

Faxors General Military Training.

Mr.. Crowell announced himself as
strongly in favor of universal mill
tary training
The plan suggested by the assistant
secretary is entirely different from
that drafted by the general STAN and
already before the committee. He
frankly stated that his plan would
have the opposition of the general
STAN, but that it would be approved
by the staff bureaus of the war De-
partment.
Chairman wadsworth of the COM
mites and other senator's expressed
keen interest in the plan OF MT
Crowell and asked him to draft Dill
covering its provisions for submission
to the committee SO that 1t might use
it In framing a bill to report to the
senate. Senator Wadsworth said that
a subcommittee already has completed
practically two-thirds Of its work on
q bill to be laid before the full COM
nfttee and that he hoped 1t would be
completed in a week or two.
Plan Discussed.
Discussing his plan. Mr.. Crowen
said: First of all we should profit
by the experience of the war we have
Just gone through. and should per-
as were found necessary during that
war We should organize tho War
Department so that 1t will function in
time Of war. Such departments as are
necessary in war should be main
tanned in time Of peace. even II their
personnel Ii cut down to q handful OF
officers To merge these necessary de-
partments into other departments in
time Of peace Is. in my opinion. an
error.
"All the functions Of the War De-
partment can be divided into two
main groups-the military function
At the head Of the department stands
the Secretary Of War. and he should
naturally have two chief advisers.
The head of the military establish
ment should advise the Secretary Of
War on all military matters. and the
head of the munitions department
should advise the Secretary Of War on
all matters relating to Munitions and
tAe supply of the Army"
