The President, Mr. Franklin Roosevelt, has superimposed upon the widespread Federal relief structure a now co-ordinating organisation known as the “National Emergency Council,” with central information bureaux, established throughout the country, “for the purpose of consolidating and making more etlieient and productive the emergency activities of the Government.” This organisation, which some observers are inclined to call a “super Cabinet/’ include Messpcs. Harold Lckcs, Henry Wallace, Daniel Roper, and Miss Frances Perkins, all members of the Cabinet, General Hugh Johnson, and the administrators or governors of various other recovery agencies.
