PLANNING OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
"The condition of securing forethought in publio affairs is to have adequate machinery, an organ of forethought, in central and local government alike. For the central Government this means an economic general staff — a°group of civil servants with no daily administrative tasks, but with the duty of curveying comprehensively all economic problcms that may facc the Government, with funds for its own inquiries and fot setting on foot inquiries by experts in the universities and else where, with influence to co-ordinate the researches of the separate Government Departments. For local government it means one -of the functions of a bure.au of muncipal research and information. A bureau of this kind— that is, an institution for comparative study of local government and pooling of ex-perience-^-is required for many reasons, and has often been proposed. To fiiid an organ of forethought in the public affairs of local government is one additional reason. Its cost would be negligible in relation to the gains that might rcsult."^ — Sir William Beveridge.
