ton is. therefore. Of the utmost
importance.
Conferences Planned.
Many minds are already at work
upon the solution Of these prob

By Lack Of Profit Motive

DR.. Lyman Chalkley Of the Board
OF Economic Warfare says that
radar, probably the most dramatic
new weapon to come out of this
war;" Jagged in development before
the war because the profit motive
was lacking.
DR.. Chalkley. head economic ana
lyst Of the BEW industrial division,
made the assertion in a study pre-
pared for the American Council Of
Public Affairs and issued by that
private research group. He used
radar as an example in his conten-
ton that the profit economy" has
not always been equal to the de-
mands of war. The profit principle,
he said, has not always provided
the things which nations have
needed to combat influences and
forces considered uncivilized and
barbarous."'
Probably the most dramatic new
weapon to come out of this war is
'radar,' which can detect airplanes
at night, see naval vessels through
fog and darkness, and do other re-
markable things, many of them still

works by radio. America is to a
large extent the home of the Wire
less and radio.
Certainly radio has been de-
veloped on a greater and larger
scale in America than anywhere else
IN the world. But before the war
there did not appear to be any
profitable major peacetime uses for
radar; therefore, it was not sub
jected to the intensive practical de-
velopment given potentially profit
able inventions. So. with the war
We had to start almost from scratch,
meanwhile losing ships and planes
and men because the profit motive
had not guided us to the Develop
ment of radar from the stage of
laboratory curiosity to the manu-
facture of practical instruments"

scribed it today as the most impor-
tant in Red Cross history.
Demands Increasing.
War havoc has almost auto
matically expanded the need for
Red Cross" Mr.. Wilson said. Mil
lions of American men and women
are overseas and the majority de-
pend on the Red Cross for some
specific services which are not 9TH
erwise available.
There is constantly increasing
demand for equipment, supplies
and adequate personnel to oper-
ate our facilities in the field. Thou
sands of Red Cross men and wom-
en- now are being trained for over
seas duty to supplement the big
corps already in every theater of
war
"Canteens, recreation centers,
counselling service for enlisted men
and women and their families and
the steady flow of food, clothing
and medical parcels to prisoners
of war are but a few of the many
functions of Red Gross which must
be supported by the War Fund.
Sees Heartfelt Response.
Nearly every American family
now has son or daughter, sister
or brother in the service. The war
has brought home to all of us,
through these family connections
and ties of friendship, ties so close
that we are even more impelled to
do something about it ourselves.
The Red Cross offers America that
opportunity and 1 am confident the
response to the 1914 War Fund
appeal will be a heartfelt answer
to the needs of our armed forces"
The new War Fund chairman has
been active in Red Cross for num-
Der of years, is member of the
American Red Cross Central Com
mittee and has served as its execu-
tive vice chairman. He is director
of number of business and finan-
cial enterprises, a member of the
chapter of the Washington Cathe-
