The National Policy Committee (NPC) was founded in 1935 by a group of men and women
representing management, labor and the general public, who were interested in promoting
discussions on the "due process of policy making which is centrally important to the
democratic procedure."
The NPC organized meetings from 1935 to 1947, in various locations in the United
States, in order to supply the public with information on issues of regional and national
interest; to stimulate discussions of public interest in preparation for political
decision making; to facilitate exchange of information; to encourage public participation
in political decision making; to "ensure the translation of political thought into
political action; and to work towards a national policy based on general interest
rather than special interest."
Include memoranda concerning National Policy Committee dinners and reports of meetings
at which were discussed political and economic issues confronting the post-war world.
Include memoranda regarding NPC dinners in Washington, D.C. and New York in 1944.
Matters discussed include the Dumbarton Oaks Proposal; economic controls and economic
freedom; post-war international trade; manpower; price controls; surpluses, reconversion
to peacetime industrial pursuits; the press and radio in wartime; the presidential
election campaign; and the future of industrial risk.
Include reports of NPC sessions (1943-1945) held in Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland,
New York, Topeka, and Billings, Mont. Topics include international civil aviation;
the post-war world; world peace; Bretton Woods monetary proposals; food problems in
times of war and peace; and post-war problems in education, among others.
