His letter is addressed to work

In his letter MIR. Clarkson

In the early days of a new year

half years of world war, 1t is the
desire of the writer in behalf of
the council of national defense to
pay tribute to the various state
councils of defense and to thu
state divisions of the woman,,s
committee of the council for the
remarkable contribution which
they have made to the winning OF
the war; to send reasonable greet
ing to these bodies and to their
scores of thousands of units.
Victory has been achieved and
the enemy has capitulated to the
most stringent terms of surrender
that history records. For Amer
lea. the actual arena of the wa

this arena the government of the
United States threw 100000 o.

time to make possible the final
smashing blow. The organization,
transportation, and clock-like de-
livery at the 18th hour of these
irresistible armies of the great re-
public OF the western world is al
epic in itself, a story in the max
ing Of which all who have served
are m1raculously fortunate to have
borne even a small part.
None of us will ever again
move on as great a stage or be so
close to the chemistry of high
events. Those who have had the
most to offer have been the hap
piest in this war. There need be
no repining, whatever the mater
ial cost may have been.
But here at home there have
been armies too. And they have
performed a marvellous task. They
were created without mandates;
they were welded into cohesive
form by suggestion rather than by
order; they were galvanized from
beginning to end by the mighty
force of voluntary cooperation;
and they went into the home
stretch with a power which moth
ing could have stopped. These
were the armies of production
production not alone of guns and
steel plates and soldiers shoes, not
alone even of visible things, but
production of energy, Of thought
that made the sword a flaming
thing, of optimism, to cTset the
stupid pessimism of people who
criticized but had nothing tangible
TO contribute; OF the immortal
spirit of carry on of, above ali
unification. For it has only been
within the past year that this ma
ton has completely realized that
after all it is, properly introduced
to itself, but a partnership of 1OO,-
100000 persons.
In the vast work of uaification,
in the carrying from Washington
to the people the messages and
measures of the national govern
ment, and in the transmission
back to Washington of the moods
and aspirations of a people at
war, the council of defense sys-
TEN, with its more than 100000
