(1) The department shall afford reasonable cooperation with any government agency charged with war effort or postwar planning responsibilities or with the administration of any system of unemployment allowances or unemployment assistance or of any program designed to prevent or relieve unemployment.

(2) The department may make and may cooperate with other appropriate state agencies in making studies as to the practicability and probable cost of possible new state-administered social security programs and the relative desirability of state rather than national action in any such field.

(3) The department shall fully cooperate with the agencies of other states and shall make every proper effort within its means to oppose and prevent any further action which would in its judgment tend to effect complete or substantial federalization of state unemployment insurance funds or state unemployment insurance and employment security programs or any part of the social security program.
