The lack of organization of the work in plant physiology and geography in our own Bureau of Plant Industry is certainly in strong contrast with the fine con-ditions given bythe Bolsheviki for these phases of research. Very few of the scientists in Russia are Communists, yet their work isgiven excellent support. The scientist is left alone by the politicians. If our government is ever to give adequate support to thefundamental and necessary work in plant physiology, the research organizations supported by the government must likewise be entirely free from political and unsympathetic manage-ment.-R.
