POSTWAR RESEARCH

Washingto, Feb. 3.
That this country has not suffered
from the "buzz bombs" and rockets
which have wrought such damage in
England is due neither to our wisdom
nor our geographical isolation. 1t is
just a great piece Of luck, and we
would be fools, indeed, to trust to
that kind Of luck for the future. An
international collective security or
ganization is, Of course, the basic es-
sential, but even with that it would
be incredible folly not to prepare
because if war ever strikes again,
finding US unprepared, we will surely
perish.
These and kindred statements were
made by a distinguished group Of
scientists the other day before the
House Committee on Postwar Mill
tary Policy in support Of the pro-
posal to establish "research board
for natioal security" The idea behind
this is to create peacetime research
group which will make always avail
able for the armed services a reser-
voi of the foremost scientific brains
and experience 1t will do in peace
time the kind Of thing the Office Of
Scientific Research and Development
has done during the war-done SO
quietly that its very existence has
hardly been known, though its con-
tributions to the war effort have been
great.
But the OSRD is an emergency
outfit which concentrates on the
"short range The new board is to
be permanent and equipped for the
Gong range" Presentation Of the pro-
posal to Congress following many
months of conversations and confer
ences. The idea was conceived in the
early part Of 1913 Its earliest and
principal promoters include Messrs. VI.
A. Tuve, D. Luke Hopkins, Charles S.
Garland Capt S. r. Shoemaker USN,
and others connected with the OSPD.
1t has been approved by every army
and navy authority and by many
leading industrialists and scientists.

The basic question, however, is
whether The organization shall be an
independent body responsible to Con-
gress and the President or shall be
sU5ordinated to the Army and Navy.
Those who have given most thought
o the proposals feel very strongly
that If the organization is to be Of
real vitality and truly effective it
should be established by Congress and
not by Executive order. If it is to
have the full responsibility it should
have, it must not be dependent upon
Army and Navy funds but should be
financed by direct Congressional APP
preparations.

gin to prepare intelligently for the
type Of war which may confront us
with great suddennes some time in
the future The new German flying
and rocket bombs and the many new
electronic devices are obviously
merely the forermnsrs Of terrible
weapons Of destruction which may
possess overwhelming powers with
ability to strike without warning. The
necessity for this peace-loving nation
to keep abreast Of all such develop
menCs and to have sufficient time to
develop methods Of protection or re-
taIiation seems too clear to argue.
Surely, no one will dispute the neces-
sity Of our having the fullest posi-
bic knowledge of such inventions and
developments. But knowledge is not
enough. We have got 10 know the an

For example, while it is agreed that
the proposed board should function
comparatively with the Army and
Navy, both Of which will be fully rep
resented as trustees, there is some
differences as to the level on which
the board should be tied into the
armed services. Also there is differ
ences on the question of how it should
be financed and to whom it should be
responsible The best thought seems
to be that unless the present joint
chiefs Of staff recognize this new ac-
tivity on their own level, the interest
of the most qualified scientists and
civilians might not be enlisted-or
# enlisted, their interest might not
be so keen. And it is Of the first essen
tial that the very best scientists and
industraEsts should be tremendously
interested.

There is no other means of obtain
ing this protection that through the
creation Of continuing board, such
as proposed, and the job of the COM
mittee, Of which Representative
Woodrum, Of Virginia, is chairman, to
evolve bill along the lines suggested
is . vital one. Even the strongest be-
levers in the efficacy of international
cooperation to avert war do not min
imize the necessity for this kind of
preparedness. The only differences
are as to detail; there are none as to
the desirability of the board.
