POST-WAR PLANNING PROCEDURE. 1. With the progress of the war, it becomes increasingly difficult to draw a clear dividing line between problems of current administration and post-war planning, and close co-operation is necessary between those dealing with current problems and post-war needs. It is desirable that all questions which relate to post-war needs should be brought to the notice of the Minister without Portfolio. Again, every Department should be aware of the general nature of the post-war plans which are being worked out and which may have some bearing on its own work.
