mental source of invention and dis
CuverN.'
The American people annually spend
ten times more money on cosmetics
than for the aid of pure science in
VcStiGators, he declared.
Mr.. Hoover drew a comparison be
tween the advancement made in pure
science research and industrial science.
With the unparalleled industrial de
Nelopment of the country. he said.
there has been an increase, by hun
dredS. of laboratories engaged in the
search for application of known scien-
ti1c facts and laws But these. he as
serted were entirely dependent upon
the raw materials which flow from the
laboratories of pure science. in which
this country is greatly deficient. For
industrial science an expenditure of
500 600 900 is made annually, while
for pure science research the total
amount available annually does not
exceed $4,000. 600.
NIr. Hoover said the personnel in
Uur applied science investigation today
probably exceeds 80 900, but that il is
ON the men in independent research
and in our educational institutions
that the great burden of scientific ad-
Vancement must rest. From them. he
said, must he derived the inspiration
of he Younger generation of oncominS
scientific workers.
What we need above all things,
he continued lis the better support of
these men. They should not be forced
into our industrial laboratories. nor
should they be engulfed in teachings.
They need opportunity to live and
work
Instead of leading all other coun-
tries in the advancement of scientific
knowledge. Mr.. Hoover declared that
The United States occupies a position
far in the rear of the majority of
European nations. a list of the
awards of the Nobel prizes reveals
the small proportion Of first minds
