TO BE RELEASED ON DELIVERY
It has been prophesied that the post-war period will be an Age of
Plastics--an age in which plastics will become an increasingly essential
and commonplace commodity of our everyday life. And you the members of the
plastic industry, can, by your pioneering and industrious application today
translate this prophecy into the reality of tomorrow.
Although marked progress has been made in the development of plastics
in the past few years, we all know that your industry is still in its infancy.
Great things are expected of it. And our war effort presents an unexcelled
opportunity for you to develop one of the basic industries of the future.
Even now in countless war processes, plastics are playing an
important part. Much success has been achieved in the use of plastics by
the aviation industry. The tremendous strides made in war surgery can be
directly attributed to the use of plastics. And in the metals field it may
well be that plastics which are now being used as substitutes for metals
will eventually replace such metals.
