the commercial processing OF IRA
dium, tungsten, aluminium and
chromium, the liquification OF coal

ever dreamed of before.
The Kikuchi developments are
only a detail of the amazing tech

plunging, commercial onslaught
into every corner of the world.
So startlingly successful have they
been in the metallurgical inven-

from Germany have been with
drawn. The new steel processes
have stood rigid tests. Huge iron
works are being built by the gov

Some of these new fluxing proc

Tohoku Imperial University, has
said that the time is near when
ANY desired metal may be smelted,

of these startling achievements be-

In 1915 and 1915, Thorsten Veblen,

mist, published two books, Ger

RUTHLESS CHALLENGE
In these books he said that,

mantle, feudal patterns, each un-
der a state as autocratic as any
known in history, and that each
would graft onto this feudal stem
the utmost Of scientific technol-

This blend Of absolutism and
science, said Veblen, would launch
in the world a factor of incalcu-
liable and formidable power, per-
hapS upsetting ruinouSly the
power equations of the world and
bringing a new and ruthless chal-

There are indications that Euro

alert to the impending struggle
for scientific ascendancy than
have we, with our reliance ON our
infinite resources and, until re-

There is in Europe and the
Orient the beginning Of scientific
espionage comparable to military
espionage. The powers raid each

There was something like an inter
