Excerpt from The Military Surgeon, 1921, Vol. 49: Journal of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States Reference should be made to recent events with regard to the transfer to the War Risk Insurance Bureau of certain functions which have been up to this date discharged by the Public Health Service. As explained. The responsibility of the Public Health Service in a good deal of this work has been of an emergency nature. The administrative arrange ments created, under the law, by the three major agencies involved in this work (war Risk Insurance Bureau, Federal Board for Vocational Education and Public Health Service) have been the subject of a great deal of unfavorable comment by reason of the alleged lack of coopera tion between the agencies involved. It is needless to deny that the administrative organization, so formed, left much to be desired, but it can be defended on the ground that under the law no administrative organization of a better character could readily have been formed. And much of the criticism which has been leveled at this organization has, I feel. Been rather of a political nature than otherwise. However that may be, the organization certainly could have been better in a great many ways. The entire subject has received a great deal of attention and has been a question for earnest thought and deliberation upon the part of the official agencies concerned.
