WAR OF TECHNOLOGY

@johnnyryan

@johnnyryan

New frontiers of the mind are before us, and if they are pioneered with the same vision, boldness, and drive with which we have waged this war we can create a fuller and more fruitful employment and a fuller and more fruitful life . . . What can the Government do now and in the future to aid research . . . so that the continuing future of scientific research in this country may be assured on a level comparable to what has been done during the war?
