The cost of publication of Chemical Abstracts has been 

 increased by about 10% as a result of the war. This is chiefly 

 due to the increased cost of paper. The same percentage 

 increase will enter into the cost of the Decennial Index to 

 Chemical Abstracts, which is about to be issued by the American 

 Chemical Society at a cost of over $30,000. 



Need we go further for evidence of the ill effects of war upon 

 science? Certainly it takes little insight to see that this 

 stoppage or at least side-tracking of the wheels of chemical 

 research will be felt in this science for years to come. 



war's relation to applied chemistry. 



In considering the applied side of chemistry let us remember 

 that war is essentially engineering. Its object is to overcome 

 natural and artificial obstacles. It must therefore get results 

 which are deliberately selected at the will of those directing the 

 war. It insists, therefore, that everyone and everything must 

 produce. Its main agents are engineering and applied chemistry, 

 the engineering, because it struggles with the problems of space
