Abstract :
It is widely recognized that a “system of priorities” is necessary to assure proper control and ready availability of the enormous variety of raw materials and complicated military equipment essential to adequate national defense in these dangerous times. However, the parallel and equally vital need for assuring adequate supply and most effective use of the nation´s limited supply of specially trained technical manpower seems to be not so widely recognized. Hence, Doctor Davis´ strong and thoughtful plea for a system of “priorities in men.”
