An Idea Explodes
The millions of shells from thousands of guns and the
bombs used by our airplanes on all the battlefronts are the evidences
of just a part of what came from the idea born seven centuries ago.
No one can sit in judgment of any new born idea and
say what its future uses may be. We in this country will always
encourage the new things and develop them for their greatest peacetime
use just as we have with the airplane, the automobile, the radio, 100
octane gas, and thousands of other things.
These industrial developments in the hands of our
army and
navy can then become a major factor in our national defense and serve
as a basis for our military production in times of war. ●
