Abstract: With the rapid expansion of the services of the United States government, especially since the inception of the New Deal, one of the greatest problems in the maintenance of efficient administration is the coordination of the multitude of governmental activities. Some may object to better coordination and increased efficiency because of the fear of reducing the number of employees and increasing unemployment. This fear is unfounded. The object of coordination is greater efficiency. This might result either in decreased employment and expenditure or in more effectively accomplishing the objects of government, and in the performance of more or better services than would otherwise be possible. In the latter case, coordination might result in increased employment. If the government is to accomplish the purposes of the New Deal, all its establishments must work in harmony. No greater need for coordination has existed than during this depression.
