The plan is, further, that all those who recei\'e such scholarships or fellow- 

 ships in science should be enrolled in a National Science Reserve and be 

 liable to call into the ser\'ice of the Government, in connection with scientific 

 or technical work in time ol war or other national emergency declared by 

 Congress or proclaimed b\ the President. Thus, in addition to the general 

 benefits to the Nation by reason of the addition to its trained ranks of such 

 a corps of scientific workers, there would be a definite benefit to the Nation 

 in ha\ing these scientific workers on call in national emergencies. The 

 Government would be well advised to invest the money involved in this 

 plan e\en if the benefits to the Nation were thought of solely — which they 

 are not — in terms of national preparedness.
