European Journals and the War 



The non-receipt by a subscriber of any European chemical or 

 other scientific journal seriously needed as research material should 

 be promptly reported to the American Documentation Institute. 



The Cultural Relations Committee of ADI, which cooperates 

 closely with the Cultural Relations Division of the Department of 

 State, is working on this problem, and hopes to be able to surmount 

 such war obstacles as interrupted transportation, embargoes and 

 censorship, which so grievously affected the progress of research 

 during the last war. 



The principle should be established, if possible, that the mate- 

 rials of research having no relation to war shall continue to pass 

 freely, regardless of the countries of origin or destination. 



Reports, with full details of where subscription was placed and 

 name and address of subscriber, volume, date and number of last 

 issue received, should be addressed to American Documentation 

 Institute, Bibliofilm Service, c/o U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 Library, Washington, D. C.
