Franco-American Engineering committee

At the invitation of the Societe des Ingenieurs Civils and a committee of the French Engineers Congress issued during the latter part of 1918, a delegation of American engineers was appointed by the four national societies, the A. S. C. E., the A. S. M. E., the A. I. M. E. and the A. I. E. E., to study with French engineers industrial rehabilitation problems. This delegation sailed for France on December 5, 1918. They returned to New York and issued their report at a joint meeting of the societies on February 10, 1919, as outlined in the March PROCEEDINGS. During the Paris sessions of the Congress a permanent Franco-American Commission was suggested.
