offer to forecasting research to make the greatest pos- 
sible contribution irrespective of nationality or local 
resources, and to concentrate all available talent with 
the greatest efficiency on the primary objectives to be 
attained. Much of the efficiency of operation of such a 
research center would stem from the fact that the ob- 
servational synoptic-statistical, and theoretical phases 
of the research program could be integrated and co- 
ordinated to the greatest advantage of the necessary 
basic forecasting research. A complete long-range pro- 
gram could be formulated and prosecuted under the 
combined effort of the best minds in meteorology and 
in the related fields. If eventually the problem of sci- 
entific weather forecasting is to be solved to some degree 
of satisfaction, the solution will be greatly hastened by 
a program such as that outlined above.
