In immigration during the war.
The greatest numerical Increase in
the white population was shown in
the district embracing Ohio, Indiana

Bureau Chiefs Must Help, Not Hinder

cratic interference, but several In,
stances of such action were called to,
his attention.
He made it clear that the order to
bureau chiefs did not mean that they
would not be given an opportunity to
express their views on reorganization
to the commission which has under
taken this work.
What the administration will not
countenance will be underhanded and
organized efforts within departments
to impede the work Of the reorganiza
ton commission. The President does
not intend to, have the committees
task INSTRUCTED by selfish efforts of
government employees to tighten their
personal holds on the federal treasury.
The administration Is pleased with
the manner in which the reOrganiza
ton committee. headed by Walter
Brown of Ohio, has taken hold Of the
work, but does not expect that it will
be ready to report recommendations
for legislation until the regular SEES
sion Of congress beginning next De-
cember.
\ The cause Of the Presidents order
was the outcome of complaint made
to him a few days ago by the chair
man Of the joint commission, that &C.
tive propaganda to counteract the
plans Of the commission was in prog
ress and was likely to influence con-
gressional action.
