...operations are of course of vital interest to men in this field and geologists and others interested in the development of natural resources have steadily been working on the improvement of methods for estimating the nature of bodies concealed in the crust of the earth. No methods have been found or are likely to be found that will give a final and complete answer to this problem. encountered in the complex conditions that exist in nature, but with constant study more and more ways of scanning critical evidence of various sorts are being developed, so that today one "guess" about...
Irregularities in the earth, such as masses of rock of lower or higher density than the surrounding material, or of higher or lower electrical conductivity influence the natural physical fields of the earth or artificial physical fields that can be found on the ground in question. The normal fields can be calculated accurately, and by measuring the departures from the normal, evidence is secured that is of possible service in estimating the properties of the mass concealed in the earth that is responsible for the departures...

It is quite conceivable that under normal circumstances the new systems might have evolved satisfactorily in time, as the country in question developed economically and socially. But the world war proved too great a strain. Even the more advanced countries found the existing system unsatisfactory and introduced war governments, which smacked strongly of dictatorships.
