Book Description
Excerpt from Outline of Departmental Activities of the Committee of Public Safety: For the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania In active service the Committee of Public Safety for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has taken rank as one of the best constructed and most efficient of the State bodies created to be war auxiliaries of the United States Government. Official Washington has expressed its commendation by adopting the Committee as the sole medium through which is carried out practically all of the national policies so far as they apply to Pennsylvania. That the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania reposes similar confidence in the war-emergency undertakings as planned and conducted is continually expressed by succeeding appropriations to the committee, the most recent of which amounted to $312,000. To list the successes of the Committee would be to review practically all of the noteworthy war-time achievements of the State. In every one of them it has participated either as the inspiration or as the directing force. Co-ordinated, concentrated effort has been the working policy, and so smoothly have the activities proceeded that many remarkable results such as exceptional food crop returns, record-breaking army and navy recruiting, conservation and war service registration, and widespread adaptation of industrial and other conditions to the changes produced by a state of war, have appeared to be almost spontaneous. The Committee was created in March, 1917, by appointment of the Governor of the State. It adopted a working plan which concentrates activities in five divisions comprising seventeen separate departments, all under compact, central executive control. The Committee's work of rendering effective State aid to the nations war effort is financed through a legislative appropriation of $2,000,000. Supervision of all expenditures out of this State fund is vested in the Pennsylvania Commission of Public Safety and Defense, composed of the five highest officers of the State - the Governor, the Lieutenant-Governor, the State Treasurer, the Auditor-General and the Adjutant-General. The Governor is chairman of this Commission. Major divisions under which the Committee conducts its activities are: Administration, which includes Departments of Finance. Publicity, Legislation, and Allied Bodies; Relief, including Departments of Medicine. Sanitation and Hospitals, and Civic Relief; Equipment and Supplies, with Departments of Food Supply, Materials, Plants, and Motors and Motor Trucks; Service, with Departments of Civilian Service and Labor, Military Service, Naval Service, and Guards, Police and Inspection; and Division of Transportation, with Departments of Railroads, Electric Railways and Motors, and Highways and Waterways. The Committee, therefore, has a working scope covering practically every field of useful endeavor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
