 suggestion of Taft 8 year before, when he said in his message to Congress: Some central organi- zation in touch with associations and c hambers of commerce throughout the country, and able to keep purely American interests in closer touch with commercial affairs would, I believe, be of great value."
 Taft had been annoyed by com- 'mercial organizations, often two or more of them from the same city, calling at the White House with contradictory viewpoints.
 ITS EARLY WORK
 Though some of the early found- CTS of the Chamber believed it could one day assume the functions of self lf-regulation of business to an extent that would make the Federal Trade Commission unnecessary, the Chamber itself in 1914 helped secure establishment of that federal bu- reau as a sort of referee in indus trial disputes.
 When the World War broke out. just some of the international trade the Chamber made efforts to ad- disputes that arose, particularly with South American countries and backed the prepardness cam- paign that preceded American en- trance into the war.
 Its committees co-operated ac- lively with the government in problems of transportation, ship building, selling Liberty Bonds, army supplies, food control, and trol. The Chamber also was ac- shipping, and wartime price con- tive in the attempt to find solu- tions to the swarm of postwar problems.
