It was coordinating such knowledge and bringinginto collaborated effort the experience and the experiments of the vari-ous scientists, individuals, and organizations of the country that madeour wonderful progress possible. What was learned during the warin the way of effectiveness in such coordinative effort is being profitedby to the extent that there is now being maintained an organizationcalled the National Research Council. We are very fortunate this morning in having present to tellus about the work of that organization its Extension Manager, A Decennial Record 1o7 AMERICAS PLACE IN INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH H. E.

The easiestway would be for me to make the assertion that America holds firstplace, and let the other fellow attempt to disprove the statement. Ithink, however, that we would do well to consider how we are regardedin industrial research, what the present situation is, and what the op-portunities are for winning and holding first place. The recordmakes it rather plain, I think, that America rightfully belongs out infront leading the industrial research procession in many fields and inthe majority of the fields of science America has already a very highstanding. Perhaps the best tributes that have been paid to American indus-trial research have been from abroad. I can refer y
