D. C., speaking 4n Mexico City at the Pao-Amerlcnn Institute of Geography and History. Doctor Howie, one of three dele gates from the Unltefl States to the first meeting of the‘newly organized institute, wats designated hy the Na tional Geographic society. He Is chief of the division of geodesy of the Unit ed States coast and Geodetic survey nnd a world famous authority on Isos- tasy. Charting Potential Resources. Mops which give precise locations,* ins Lt1< elevations, and other topographic in formation constitute the framework of further surveys of forest, mineral, plant, animal, water power and other forms of potential wealth, the speaker explained. “Therefore the engineers nnd other' leaders in Industry are making their wants knowu in regard to topographic mapping,” he continued. “It has truly been said that only a rich nation can afford Jo develop Its natural resources *nd Its Industries without previously having executed the topographic sur veying and mapping. Thus are avoided wasteful mistakes of the past In road building and railway construction hy routes which are circuitous and in ' areas which have not the latent re sources or are too far from markets to be profitable. A major program of the Institute is the co-ordination of topographic sur vey* already made Independently; nnd stimulation of mapmnklng programs of the governments themselves. Another Imperative demand for mnp- iplng of hitherto unexplored areas arises from the commercial air plane lines. Doctor Howie said, for ! airplanes now are using routes over tracts which know neither the high way nor the steel rail. “We have heard much In recent de cades of the application of scientific < principles to agriculture and other 1 great Industries In exchange of good* j and In communication,” Doctor Howie i said. “But science can only go a cer tain distance towards bettering the .condition of humanity and making ’civilisation nobler without having geographic facts. It Is here that the geographer must supplement the work of the physicist, the chemist, and the 'engineer. For without geographical In formation nnd background the other sciences cannot he efficiently employer!
