Retrospect and Prospect. Presidential Address 1944

JSGT 1944 V28 T092-T104

 As a nation we have during the past four and a half years avoided catastrophes that the world as a whole regarded as inevitable, and as an industry we have just about managed to keep production of essential war glasses abreast or sometimes slightly ahead of demands. Neither as a nation nor as an industry have we ever felt beaten, despite the heaviness of the odds against us, and now that we feel so certain that the successful outcome of the war is within sight, post-war development is beginning to occupy an increasing proportion of our attention.
