John Quincy Adams was put for

the department, ami the part assigned to
transportation and business agencies.
Secretary Weeks emphasized the vital
need of transportation for the national
defense, and explained that armed force i
depended for its effectiveness upon move-!
meut “an indispensable element of war.”
“If our armed forces should be compelled
at some future date to defend the con
tinental territory of the United States,
the railways of the United States would
si)me prime importance,” the Secretary
said. “You know, as wejj as I, that it
would not be possible for the railroads
and the army to co-operate effectively
immediately upon (he occurrence of an
unfortunate emergency, unless they spend
some time together preparing for such
co-operation. That is why we have ask
ed you here.”
Gen. Hines described more in detail
what services to national defense the
army expected the transportation lines
to render in an emergency and pointed
out something of hdw tuey would be ex
