About this book

Address by Honorable William C. Redfield, Secretary of Commerce at Conference of Regional Chairmen of the Highways Transport Committee Council of National Defense is a significant historical document capturing the insights and perspectives of William C. Redfield, then U.S. Secretary of Commerce, during a pivotal period in American history. Delivered at a conference of regional chairmen of the Highways Transport Committee under the Council of National Defense, this address reflects the urgent national priorities during World War I, particularly the critical role of transportation infrastructure in supporting the war effort and ensuring national security. In his address, Redfield emphasizes the importance of efficient highway transport as a backbone for both military logistics and civilian economic stability. He discusses the challenges faced by the nation in mobilizing resources, the necessity of cooperation between federal, state, and local authorities, and the vital contributions of the private sector. Redfield advocates for the modernization and expansion of the nation's highways, highlighting their strategic value in moving troops, supplies, and food across vast distances. The speech also delves into broader themes of patriotism, civic duty, and the collective responsibility of Americans to support the war effort through innovation and unity. Redfield's remarks are both practical and inspirational, offering guidance to the regional chairmen on how to coordinate their efforts, overcome obstacles, and maximize the effectiveness of the Highways Transport Committee. This document provides a window into the governmental strategies and public policies of the era, illustrating how infrastructure and transportation were seen as essential elements of national defense. It is a valuable resource for historians, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of transportation, government policy, and wartime mobilization in early 20th-century America.
