Peace Time Jobs Should Be Left
To Peace Time Organizations,
Says State Body—Demobil-
ization is Left to
Committees.
Oklahoma City, Okla., Jan. 15.
— (Special)—On the eve of disso-
lution of county councils of defense
in Oklahoma, Governor R L. Wil-
liams, dispatched the following
letter to all members of executive
committees:
"1 .take this occasion to thank
you in the name of the State of
Oklahoma for the patriotic ser-
vice which you rendered as a
member of the Executive Commit-
tee of your County Council of De-
fense.
"You in common with the oth-
er war workers in Oklahoma have
neglected your own business for
the past year and a half to devote
a large portion of your time to pa-
triotic tasks. It was due to such
support as the people through
these county councils of defense
gave in America that our armies
were able to defeat the military
machine and remove forever the
menace of Prussianism.
"You have reason to feel proud
of the part which you have taken
in the Great War"
That peace time jobs should be
left to peace time organizations is
the opinion of the Oklahoma
State Council of Defense which
influenced its decision to discon-
I tinue the activities of county
i councils of defense. The State
j Council will remain operative as a
| united body, but has adjourned sub-
j ject to the call of the chairman, J.
M. Aydelotte
In dissolving the county defense
organizations, Chester H. West-
fall, assistant secretary of the
state council and field secretary
| for Oklahoma of the Council of
j National Defense, issued the fol-
lowing statement to all members
of executive committees:
"Following a careful investiga-
tion of conditions in this state and
an investigation of methods by
which other states will care for
their remaining work, and after
canvassing the opinion of the of-
ficers of county councils of de-
fense in this state, the Oklahoma
l State Council has dissolved as
county councils on January 15,
1919, and has taken official action
so dissolving them.
"This action was taken in view
of the fact that councils of defense
had already completed their tre-
mendous war tasks in a most cred-
itable manner and because of the
fact that councils were created as.
war, not as peace time organiza-
tions, and members of the execu-
tive committees should be reliev-
ed of their vast tasks and respons-
I ibilities at as early a date as pos-
sible.
Before dissolving however, each
county council of defense is to ap-
I point a "Demobilization Commit-
tee" composed of from three to
| five of your representative mem-
bers of your present executive
1 committee.
"This committee will be known
at the County Demobilization
Committee and it should be made
up of the present executive com-
mittee who have had most exper-
ience with the actual work. It will
attend to all matters affecting the
interests of returning soldiers. Its
specific tasks will be assigned to
it immediately upon notice that
this committee has been appoint-
ed.
"We shall of course continue to
take up all matters with the chair-
man of the county councils until
this Demobilization Committee
has been reported to us. The en-
tire organization will be dissolved
at just as early date as the public
interest will permit.
"While Oklahoma war workers
have no desire to shirk any patri-
otic duty or task it is the opinion
of the State Council of Defense
that peace time jobs should be
left to peace time organizations.
However, when county councils
were organized in this state, after
a plan of our own making, the
framework of the county council*
i was developed that we thought it
possible that each could be made
I over at the final end of the war
j into a sort of county-wide chamber
of commerce or welfare board en-
j tirely independent of local organi-
i zation, in case local conditions de-
! manded it. This is entirely with-
j in the jurisdiction of local people.
} "I am instructed to transmit
1 this information to you from the
j Oklahoma State Council of De-
! fense."
