Legislation Delayed. Legislation proposed by the sen- tion of a war council and a minister of munitions, the president declared, had come after effective measures of re- ly perfected. The president said he regarded Sec-; lic officials he had ever known and thatthe country soon would learn whether he or his critics understood the business at hand. When Senator Chamberlain heard of the president’s statement he made one’in reply, saying he had spoken extemptoraneously at New York and that his criticisms were directed only. at the military establishment, not at other departments of the government. He declared he would press his legis- lation in spite of the president's op- position. ! The President’s Statement. The: statement follows: “When the president's attention was called to the speech made by Senator Chamberlain at a luncheon in New York-on Saturday, he immediately in- quired: of Senator Chamberlain wheth- er hehad been correctly reported, and upon ascertaining from the senator that: he had been, the president felt it his duty to make the following statenient: “‘Senator Chamberlain’s statement as to present inaction and ineffective- ness of the government is an astonish- ing‘and absolutely unjustifiable dis- tortion of the truth. As a matter of fact, the war department has __per- “formed a task of unparalleled magni- tude and difficulty with extraordinary = promptness and efficiency. is Harmful Investigations. “There have been delays and dis- appointments and partial miscarriages of plans, all of which have been drawn into the foreground and exaggerated by the investigations which have been in progress since the congress assemb- pled—investigations which drew in-! _dispensable officials of the department! “constantly away from their work and officers from their commands and con- tributed a great deal to suc hdelay and confusion as had inevitably arisen, But by comparison with what had been accomplished, these things, much; as they were to be regretted, were! “insignificant, and no mistake has been made which has been repeated. Nothing Helpful in Criticism “ ‘Nothing helpful or likely to speed or facilitate the war tasks of the government has come out of such crit- icismand investigation. I understand that re-organizations by legislation are to i proposed—I have not been con- sulted: about them and have learned made by Senator Chamb: at New York Saturday concerning inaction and eflicieney of them only: at second hand—but their proposalt came .after effective measures of re-organization had been thoughtfully and maturély perfected, and: inasmuch as thee meaure have been the result of experience, they are ‘much more likely than any other to be effective, if the congress will President Wilson isstied a statement last astonishing and unjustifiable distortion in in a speech u the part but remove the few cle of rigid departmental organi tion which stands in their way. | Legislation Involving Long Delays. | “The legislative propos: 1 have heard would involve long additional delays and turn our experience into mere lost motion. My ciation and constant conference with the secre-{ tary of war have taught me to regard | him as one of the ablest public offic- ials ] have ever known. The coun-' try wiil soon learn whether he or his critics understand the business in hand. “To add, as Senator Chamberlain did, that there is inefficiency in every: department and bureau of the govern-! ment is to show such ignorance of ac-, tual conditions as to make it impos-! sible to attach any importance to his statement. I am bound to infer that} that statement sprang out of opposi- tion to the administration's whole pol- icy rather than out of any serious in- i tention to reform its practices.’ ” i THE PEOPLE’S WAR Senator Chamberlain Also Issues a Statement. Senator Chamberlain said: ‘In my New York speech I had not prepared the addre: and spoke twenty minutes ex without notes. [ pointed out — tha from Bunker Hill to the present time we had had no military organization or policy. The pr report of my address was correct. But my argument was direc ed to the military estab- lishment ani not to other departments of the government, although it was broad enough to be subject to that in- terpretation, But those hearing it knew I referred merely to the military establishment, and that the senate military committee had undertaken, through the bills for a war cabinet and a director of munitions, to work out changes in the establishment. No Misrepresentation. “I explained that these bills were not administration measures. I did not misrepresent them. “Secre‘ary Baker's efforts to bet- ter his organization have my utmost aprovai He has made much improve- ment. But the inherent weakness of his reorganization is that nobody be- tween the army and the president has legal autherity. There is the coun- cil of national defense, the war in- dustries board, and the clearance com- mittee—ail purely voluntary organ- izalions—between the president and the army.
