dorsement of the Overman bill giving'
the President full powers to centralize'
control in any way he sees fit, was rec
ommended today by the board of direc-l
tors of the United States chamber of
commerce to the more than 1,0001
chambers of commerce and other in
dustrial organizations comprising its
membership. This is in line with the
chamber’s action since last September
when it called for central control and
responsibility for procuring war ma
terial and supplies. i
“The development of an organiza
tion to bring about central control and
responsibility for procuring war mater
ial and supplies lias now reached a
point where further progress can not
be had without action of congress,”
said Waddill Patchings, chairman of
the war committee of the chamber of j
commerce of the United States "How
ever excellent the numerous plans of
reorganization in the several depart
ments are. they can be put into ef
fect only when congress grants the
power.
“No matter whether one might have!
been disposed to urge the passage of
I the bill for a ministry of muaj^uns
(and a war cabinet, this hardly seems
the direction for effective effort at
; this time,” he contnued. “Those in
I charge of the administrative machin
ist >’ <>f the government are strongly op
posing the passage of these measures.
I The administration's proposal that the
j existing machinery should be changed
to bring about central control and
responsibility offers an opportunity for
progress which all should support."
The falseness of the impression that
the Overman bill grants additional,
powers is emphasized in the recom
mendation sent by the chamber to ts j
members. The bill simply gives the j
President power to redistribute thej
functions of the executive agency to -
another and to employ such additional j
agencies as he may deem necessary.
Erroneous, too, is the inference that '
'he bill gives the executive power to j
divert public moneys from the pur-1
pose for which they were appropriated
and to use these moneys for other |utr-j
poses. The act specifically provides j
that any moneys appropriated shall lie
available for the purpose for which it
was appropriated under the direction
of such agency as jthe President may
direct. It must be borne in mind that
the obvious intent of the bill is solely i
to give the President the power to j
create an administrative machinery
designed to meet the problems of the
war.
If this act is passed the President
can consolidate the buying from the
numerous scattered departments and
bureaus to such extent as he may find
necessary and place this buying under
the control of some agency. Likewise
he could invest in some central agency
the power to reach decisions and to
determine the great questions which
affect more than one department.
In similar manner the President will
have power to centralize and remove
duplication of effort where conflicting
activities have developed in connec
tion with the war. For example he
could form a central secret service for
the United States during the war by
transferring to one central agency the
secret service activities which are now
scattered between many departments
such as justice, treasury, war, navy,
etc.
Until some legislation such as this
is passed the various bureaus and di
visions of the government will be com
pelled by the existing statutes to con
tinue their independent activities.
There will exist nowhere the authority
necessary to bring about central con
trol and responsibility. Since the
Overman bill carries out the spirit and
the purpose of the resolution adopted
at the war convention of American
business held at Atlantic City by the
United States chamber of commerce
last September, the chamber gives it
its unqualified support.
LARGE PERCENTAGE OF
ALASKA’S INSANE RECOVER
Seventeen per cent more of the
Alaskan patients at the -Morningside
sanitarium recover than the average
Jor asylums throughout the United
States, is the report sent to the gov
eronr's office from the Morlngside san
itarium, covering the past 14 years.
According to this report, the average
recovering from asylums in the United
States is 24 per cent, but those from
Alaska recover to the number of 41.7
per cent. It is also stated that more
halt of those sent to the asylum are
of the merely despondent or mentally
depressed type.
The total number of patients ad
mitted between the dates of 1904 and
1918 is 088, and the present number of
patients is 212. Out of the total num
ber sent to the asylum during these 14
years, 215 have been discharged, and
160 have died at the asylum.
Those escaping are enumerated with
the sum total of those discharged, yet,
the actual number of those who made
their escape and were not recaptured
is 42.
