III. CONTINUATION OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE
COMMITTEE ON SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
The California State Council of Defense was disbanded on January
31, 1919. Certain of its activities, however, were continued through
the establishment of the State Committee on Readjustment. The
Committee on Scientific Research, also, was continued at the request
of Governor Stephens and was related in an advisory way to the
Committee on Readjustment. Meetings of the Committee on Scien-
tific Research and of several of its subcommittees were held during
the year following the war for the consideration of problems of a
scientific nature arising in an effort to stimulate industries in the
use of the material resources of the state, and in the continuation of
investigations begun during the war.
With the termination of the activity of the Committee on Read-
justment, the Committee on Scientific Research was not disbanded
and it still continues as a possible source of advice to the Governor
and to departments of the state government. The value of such a
committee was shown during the war as a co-ordinating agency in
making available for the urgent needs of the state the numerous
sources of scientific strength outside of the state departments, pa~-
ticularly upon matters which required thoroughgoing investigation
before being incorporated into the administrative policy of the gov-
ernment. As a factor outside of the state government, but bent upon
assisting the government in every way, this committee seems to be in
a particularly favorable position to bring the resources of these
various agencies to bear upon certain of the unsolved scientific prob-
lems of state administration and of public welfare.
In the experience of these war years there has been much to indi-
cate the permanent value of such a body continually available to
the state departments for undertaking the study of problems, par-
ticularly of a research nature, which arise from time to time in the
course of administration.
