In no other belligerent nation was there any such degree of centralization as marked the duties of the Committee on Public Information. In England and France, for instance, five and more organizations were intrusted with the tasks that this committee discharged in the United States. And in one country, in one year, many of the warring nations spent more money than the total expenditure of the Committee on Public Information during the 18 months of its existence in its varied activities that reached to every community in America and to every corner of the civilized world. A brief outline of the work, division by division, is herewith appended: [← Letter of Transmittal and General Survey](https://propagandaarchive.org/library/creel-cpi-complete-report-1920/01-letter-of-transmittal-and-general-survey/) [The Voluntary Censorship →](https://propagandaarchive.org/library/creel-cpi-complete-report-1920/03-the-voluntary-censorship/) Complete Report of the Chairman of the Committee on Public Information, George Creel, Chairman, Committee on Public Information.
