I repeat you must have that bird’s-eye view of the necessities of the Government as a whole, which alone you can secure through the authority of the President as exercised through the Coordinator of the Board you have here. It is absolutely necessary that there should be no withholding of the spirit of cooperation and loyalty to your Coordinator. There should be no feeling that your independent jurisdiction is going to be unnecessarily curtailed and interfered with. There is the right of appeal, and it is just as important to the proper functioning of the whole governmental business machine that you have courageous defense of the department unit as you have courageous defense of the policies of coordination. There is no proper room for friction; and so far as the Budget Bureau is concerned and the coordinating agencies headed by Colonel Smithers, we have had a minimum of friction with the departments. There have been transferred over $112,000,000 dollars worth of property between these departments within the last six months. $100,000 per year is being saved in the comparatively small thing right here in the District of Motor transportation. Anybody who stands against the principle of this thing is a man, in the first place, who is not intelligent. He is a man in the second place who is not loyal; and he is a man, in the third place, who is in danger, in view of the accomplishments of this coordinating work. What excuses are there for anyone not to give his loyal cooperation to the President of the United States, who, for the first time, has undertaken to be responsible for a correct system of routine business? One other thing in connection with the spirit of economy:—the President of the United States has asked it. He asked it here in the first meeting of the Govt. business organization last June at which some of you were present. That request of his has received response. I find over the country that for the first time in government, economy has become fashionable, and extravagance dangerous; and all over the country, in the post office service, the Army service—in all Govt. activities. There is the spirit of loyal cooperation under the leadership of the President in the matter of economy. We know, too, what you have been trying to do in that way in your own service is resulting in an immense saving to the Government. What we need are men in authority to help us find out where savings can be made. We have only scratched the surface, but it is possible now, as we get the business of the Government in the proper, organized shape, to determine where the limit of economy is. We do not know yet, because our reorganization of routine business methods has not gone on long enough. We have only been in operation four or five months. It will be a year or two possibly before the extent of economies can be determined.
