European resources since the war
have shrunk too much to allow the
accustomed expenditures on research
work in pure science, DR.. Vernon kel-
logg, secretary of the American Re-
search Council, declared yesterday
upon his return to Washington from

There is great need for American
interests to fill the breach by enlarg-
ing such expenditures here, said DR..
kellogg, who is q trustee of the Ma
tional Research Endowment, of which
Secretary Hoover is chairman, which
is seeking a fund Of $20,000,O00 for
scientific outlay.
"In the past the great research in
stitutions and universities Of Europe
have supplied the world with a wealth
Of scientific knowledge" he related in
describing the situation abroad. land
we in the United States, who have
Jagged far behind in our own re-
searches in pure science, have profited
perhaps more than any other country.
All human progress Is dependent in
the last analysis on the results Of the
studies of the scientists. Never before
have we been faced with such an i'm
perative need for funds with which to
carry on this work, and all because we
have let Europe do 1t fora US in the
