showed that a considerable amount of the
tracer isotope entered the carbohydrate,
protein and cellulose fractions in a 24
hour feeding period. The present study
confirmed his findings and extended them
to shorter feeding periods with similar
results. The long term feeding experi-ments indicated a tendency toward an
equilibrium of the tracer isotope in the
various chemical fractions, a fact pre-
viously observed by Belkengren. The
amount of heavy carbon in these fractions
attained a value of about 8 per cent of
the total carbon present.THE INDUSTRIES OF THE NETHERLANDS DURING
NAZI OCCUPATION
DR. WOUTER BOSCH
Formerly General Superintendent of H. Vettewinkel and Sons Ltd.,
Paint and Varnish Manufacturers, Amsterdam, NetherlandsThe Netherlands is well known for
agriculture, dairy, flower bulbs, etc.
However, in 1939, the manufacturing
industries constituted one of the prin-
cipal items (14.5%) of the national
wealth. Products manufactured are: elec-
trical and radio equipment, diamonds, ce-
ment, steel, textiles, rayon, sulphuric acid,
superphosphate, yeasts and alcohols, cars,
aircraft, glass and earthenware, flax, ships,
cigars and cigarettes, footwear, bicycles,
tin cans, chocolate, tiles, bricks, paints,
and varnishes.
Before world war II a great shift took
place towards the infertile sandy uplands
in the east and the south for the building
of industries. During the German occu-
pation, this development came abruptlyto an end. At the outset, the industrial
activities were stimulated as it seemed de-
sirable for the production of war material
for Germany. Otherwise the Germans in-
tended to reduce Holland to an agrarian
state. If they had succeeded, this would
have meant the reverse of industrializa-
tion and the return of the Netherlands to
a lower economic structure. Total dam-
age to industry $1,210 million; 599,000
men taken to Germany for slave labour.
Means of sabotage will be told. The de-
feat of the Germans has not meant a re-
turn to pre-war conditions. The growing
dependence on a consistent industrializa-
tion will be discussed, since the other
branches of economic activities are left
with but little possibility for expansion.QUALITATIVE ORGANIC ANALYSIS AS A PART OF THE
FIRST YEAR ORGANIC COURSE
JOHN B. ENTRIKIN
Centenary College, Shreveport, LouisianaAll of the reasons which have been
found valid for including qualitative
analysis as a part of the laboratory work
in first year chemistry seem to apply
equally well to the inclusion of elemen-
tary qualitative organic analysis as a part
of the laboratory work in first year or-
ganic chemistry. The students find this
work more interesting and hence apply
themselves more diligently to their lab-
oratory work. Since the work ultimately
requires the identification of unknowns
students see some reason for acquiringgood techniques and the teacher has a
more direct way of checking on the
ability of a student. The author has been
continuously developing a course in qual-
itative organic analysis in the first year
organic course for some ten years.
The proposed paper would spend some
five minutes in presenting the arguments
for using qualitative organic analysis in
the first year organic course. A summary
of the procedures and techniques of giv-
ing this course would follow.December
