for service rendered will salve the retiring members.
 
     
 
 
It is my opinion that the vital moment has arrived for  
you to appoint an overall full-time Chairman to take command of   
ALL POST-WAR ACTIVITIES, which can be easily divided into three   
broad sections:
 
 
 
Political ?
 
 
 
Security, Mr. Norman H. Davis;
 
 
 
Economic, at present M. C. T.?
 
     
 
 
The latter (Economic) requires clarification in view of  
Mr. Acheson's new responsibilities as Coordinator of some  
phases in the Economic field, taken over from Economic Warfare,   
etc. I am not at all clear as to its scope and the  
extent of its authority.
 
     
 
 
If the above plan is followed, and harmony achieved among  
the discordant elements, the future will be insured just in  
proportion as the talent, the cooperation, and the self-  
sacrifice of the personnel permit it to be.
 
     
 
 
In any event I shall be in Washington and will call upon you on   
Wednesday, August 25th, if you care to discuss the subject further.
 
 
 
With kind regards,
 
 
 
Yours sincerely,
 
 
 
MYRON C. TAYLOR.
 
 
 
The Hon. Cordell Hull,
 
 
 
Wardman Park Hotel, Washington.
