Abstract

The North Carolina Council of Defense Records is composed of the original correspondence, subject files, financial records, organizational records, and operational materials created and utilized by the North Carolina Council of Defense from its formation on , 1917, through the completion of an unpublished history of the Council by one of its members in 1932. The materials document the operations and war-time resources management of North Carolina, as well as of the county Councils of Defense in North Carolina. Correspondence from citizens and county officials regarding various war-time issues are represented in the collection. The collection also contains information, records, posters, and reports from other states’ Councils of Defense; and training, promotional, and public awareness materials from the Council of National Defense. Overall, the collection documents the status of North Carolina’s resources, government, and citizens throughout World War I. The records in this collection were accumulated from 1917 to 1933 by members of the state and county Councils of Defense, and deposited with the North Carolina Historical Commission by 1933.

Acquisition

This collection was acquired in multiple parts by the North Carolina Historical Commission from 1918 to 1932. The bulk of the collection was acquired between 1918 and 1921 by Daniel Harvey Hill Jr., a member and Secretary from 1921-1924 of the North Carolina Historical Commission, and Robert B. House, the North Carolina Historical Commission’s Collector of World War Records, since , 1919. Hill also served as the chairman of the North Carolina Council of Defense’s Historical Committee, which cooperated with the Historical Commission to collect and document the state’s war-time history. All of the materials in this collection were acquired or collected as part of the North Carolina Historical Commission’s on-going World War historic materials collection project, which was authorized by Sections 3 and 4 of Chapter 144 of the North Carolina Public and Resolutions in 1919.

Most of the collection was acquired by the end of 1920, as listed in the 1918-1920 North Carolina Historical Commission Biennial Report. Elements of the collection—in keeping with the statutes of the 1919 —were received after the end of North Carolina’s involvement in war-time activities in 1920, as organizations and counties finally had time to compile their war records to send to the Historical Commission.

The Joseph Hyde Pratt Papers (Subseries IF) was received from Joseph Hyde Pratt, a member of the North Carolina Council of Defense, in three separate donations, which were reported in the Biennial Reports published in 1920, 1930, and 1932.

Separated Material

Oversized items that did not fit in large archival boxes were relocated to the Military Collection Oversized Map Case in the Archives Stacks 3B, and are stored in WWI 1 Oversized Folders 1-3 (see Collection Inventory for list of individual oversized items stored in those folders).

Processing Information

The original North Carolina Council of Defense records were received by the North Carolina Historical Commission (present-day State Archives of North Carolina) in multiple accessions from 1918 to 1932. The collection was apparently loosely arranged by creator, with the original organization of the records left intact. During the 1920s, the Historical Commission worked on arranging the World War I Papers in groups of common themes or creators. In 1964, Maurice S. Toler and John R. Woodard of the North Carolina Department of Archives and History prepared a finding aid for the “World War I Papers, 1903-1933,” which consisted of thirteen series of records. This was the first known formal organization of the World War I, and a basic finding aid completed to the box and item level was finalized on , 1964. From 1964 until 2014, as

2 more World War I materials were received by the State Archives of North Carolina, the items were added to a new box at the end of each appropriate series.

The Council of Defense records by 1964 had been subdivided into eight basic divisions, which were not numbered. The divisions are as follows: General Correspondence, 1917‐1921, no date; Papers of Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt; Subject Files; History of the North Carolina Council of Defense; County Councils; Council of National Defense; Other States’ Councils of Defense; and ’ Record Cards. The original order and provenance of the World War I materials received by the State Archives from 1918 to 1932 was somewhat lost over time.

The reprocessing of the collection, completed in June 2015, attempts to rejoin portions of the Council of Defense records, and to more logically organize the collection into numbered series and subseries to match the original acquisition records for the collection. For example, photographs of the Council of Defense and North Carolina county Councils of Defense members were stored in Series XII: Photographs and Postcards (which was created by 1964 artificially as a series). These photographs were moved to WWI 1 North Carolina Council of Defense Records, and organized in Series I (see the North Carolina Historical Commission’s 1918-1920 Biennial Report for justification for this reorganization).

Paperclips and rusted metal fasteners were removed from the items in the collection. Original materials were removed from bindings which were turning acidic, causing damage to the materials. clippings and newspaper articles which were retained were photocopied as preservation copies, to protect other archival materials in a given folder from being further discolored by the acidity in the newspaper clippings. Newspaper citations were retained on the preservation copy if such information was pre-existing on the original newspaper clippings. Badly torn or faded documents were photocopied as preservation copies, to save the informational content of the records for collection users.

Oversized items such as posters and large certificates—originally folded and stored in regular file folders in the collection—have been relocated to Oversized Boxes 31-32, and Oversized Folders 1-3 (stored in the Military Collection Oversized Map Case). Each oversized item is described based on which original folder and series/subseries the item was located in prior to reprocessing of the collection.

The collection has been processed to folder-level, meaning that items within each folder are not typically arranged in any particular order or described individually (unless otherwise required based on the uniqueness of the materials). Where possible, the original collection’s folder titles were retained. When added description was required to assist researchers to locate unique items in the collection, folder titles were supplemented with more detailed description in parentheses after the original folder title.

Historical Note

In an attempt to garner a united national support for the ’ involvement with the World War I effort, and believing in the imperativeness of uniting and expediting all measures for the coordination of a prolonged war effort, the U.S. Congress created the Council of National Defense with the passage of the Appropriation Act (39 Stat. 649) (also called the National Defense Act of 1916) on , 1916. The Council of National Defense was a presidential advisory board that included six members of the President’s Cabinet: Secretary of War Newton D. Baker (chairman of the Council); Secretary of the Navy ; Secretary of Agriculture David ; Secretary of the Interior Franklin Lane; Secretary of Commerce William Redfield; and Secretary of Labor William Wilson.

The Council was assisted by an Advisory Committee nominated by the Council and appointed by the President of the United States. The Advisory Committee was composed of seven members, each with some special knowledge of some industry, public utility, the development of natural resources, or other special qualifications useful to the war mobilization effort. The Advisory Committee members were: Daniel Willard, President of the and Railroad; Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor; Howard E. Coffin, Vice- President of Hudson Motor Company; Julius Rosenwald, President of Sears, Roebuck and Company; Bernard M. Baruch; Franklin Martin; and Dr. Hollis Godfrey, President of Drexel Institute.

The Council’s responsibilities included “coordinating resources and industries for national defense” and “stimulating civilian morale.” As President said of the Council: “The Council of National Defense has been created because Congress has realized that the country is best prepared for war when thoroughly prepared for peace. From an economic point of view, there is very little difference between the machinery required for economic efficiency and that required for military purposes. The Council is organized for the creation of relations which

4 will render possible in time of need the immediate concentration and utilization of the resources of the Nation.”

The work of the Council grew more significant when the United States entered World War I in 1917. The federal government held a conference on , 1917, in , D.C., to facilitate the organization of state councils of defense, to which Joseph Hyde Pratt, state geologist, was appointed to represent North Carolina. The federal government used the conference to ask state governors to create their own local councils of defense to support the national war effort, with the goal being to cooperate with other state councils and the federal government in organizing and directing the resources of states, making them available and effective for national use. The state councils would also recommend changes in state laws to state legislatures, with the goal of the changes aimed at increasing the nation’s ability to respond to the needs of the war effort.

At the start of America’s entrance into the war, the Council coordinated resources and industries for national defense; stimulated civilian morale; coordinated the work of state and local defense councils and women’s committees; and later studied problems of post-war readjustment of soldiers to civilian life and reconstruction of the nation’s infrastructure. The Council of National Defense ceased its operations in .

After reading Joseph Hyde Pratt’s report of the national conference, North Carolina Governor Thomas W. Bickett appointed an Executive Committee to lead a state Council of Defense, and called for an organizational meeting in Raleigh on May 31, 1917, with the intention of forming the North Carolina Council of Defense. The committee members of the new state Council consisted of J. , D. H. Hill, George Howe, W. S. Lee, R. N. Page, Joseph Hyde Pratt, Mrs. James Eugene Reilley, F. E. Seeley, James Sprunt, C. C. Taylor, and George W. Watts. At the initial meeting, Hill was appointed Chairman of the North Carolina Council of Defense; B. R. Lacy, North Carolina’s State Treasurer, was named treasurer; and W. S. Wilson—a state legislative reference librarian—was selected as secretary of the state council. The Executive Committee organized sixteen state‐level committees and identified potential chairmen for county councils in all one hundred counties of North Carolina.

For the entire duration in which the United States was involved militarily in the war, the North Carolina General Assembly was not in session. Therefore, the state’s Council of Defense was unable to receive governmental appropriations and had to rely upon private donations to function. None of the council members—either at the state or local level—received any financial compensation for their services to state during World War I.

The North Carolina Council of Defense acted as a clearinghouse for information received from the Council of National Defense. One of the first statewide initiatives was the organization of a speakers’ bureau to inform the populace of the causes of the war and the reasons for American involvement. Other speakers urged soldiers to take advantage of the offer of government insurance or intervened with deserters, urging them to return to the ranks to avoid prosecution. The state Council investigated the loyalty of applicants for positions in government agencies or service organizations, and encouraged college students to volunteer for community work efforts. After the erection of training camps in the state, the state Council formed a War Camp

5 Community Service division to provide entertainment, recreational opportunities, and moral guidance for the trainees. In the fall of 1918, the state Council reviewed applications for building permits which sought exceptions to the nationwide of non-essential construction activity.

However, the bulk of the real work of the North Carolina Council of Defense was performed at the local level. Each county chairman was to appoint six members to his council, to organize committees that mirrored the state blueprint, and to create township and community councils. A Soldiers’ Business Aid Committee was erected in each county to help soldiers deal with legal matters, such as the writing of wills. Local committeemen provided encouragement and assistance to soldiers’ families, and interviewed individuals of doubtful loyalty to caution them against seditious activities. They also compiled reports concerning property owned by alien residents in their county.

The county boards helped to organize the various fund‐raising drives, including Liberty Loans, thrift stamps, the Fosdick Fund, and campaigns. They assisted local draft exemption boards to compile lists of draft‐age men, and organized the reserve militia or home guard in their county. Some of the more prescient county chairmen took an active role in the preservation of their council’s records, which they donated after the war to the North Carolina Historical Commission’s on-going World War historic materials collection project, per Sections 3 and 4 of Chapter 144 of the North Carolina Public Laws and Resolutions in 1919.

Subseries IE: North Carolina Council of Defense Photographs

Subseries 1E, North Carolina Council of Defense Photographs, contains portraits of chairmen of county Councils of Defense, and portraits of some of the members of the state Council of Defense. These photographs were not taken at the time of the war; rather, they are photographs that were donated by members of these councils by request of the North Carolina Council of Defense chairman. Included with the photographs are letters to and from county and state Council members, seeking photographs for inclusion in the historical records of the Council. The photographs are organized alphabetically by the county from which the individual served, with each person identified on the back of the photograph.

Series I: North Carolina Council of Defense

Subseries IF: Joseph Hyde Pratt Papers

Subseries 1F is the Joseph Hyde Pratt Papers. Pratt was a member of the Board of the North Carolina Council of Defense (until called to active military service), and he served as the state representative to the National Defense Conference in Washington, D.C., May 2‐3, 1917, for Governor Thomas W. Bickett. In 1929, Pratt began arranging his papers from his time as a member of the state Council, to use for the preparation of a history of the North Carolina Council of Defense’s wartime activities. Pratt completed this history in 1932, but the work was never published (see Subseries IA, Box 1). This includes documents collected from 1917 to 1920 by Pratt, as well as the correspondence and research materials he gathered from 1921 to 1933 relating to the Council of Defense. The correspondence is arranged by date, with miscellaneous materials located at the end of the subseries.
