Interview of S.P. Eagleson by Don Phillipson. Subjects discussed include: NRC Chairmen: Dr. A.B. Macallum, Dr. A.F. Ruttan, Mr. R.F. Ross, Dr. F.D. Adams, and Dr. H.M. Tory; Tory's policy - 1927 endowments by Sun Life and Hollinger Mines Inc.; in 1940, War Research Fund received endowments from Eaton's and Bronfmans; pre-1928, the Mellon Institute was the model of industry-finance institute enabling small industries to participate as well; Irving Langmuir; foreign ownership always impeded NRC's efforts to promote research, therefore Canadian industrialists were not interested during prosperity; Canadian Manufacturers' Association supported research and NRC but had no representation on HAC, similarly to universities; G.Y. Chown; in 1928, NRC Headquarters moved to Edwards Mill on John Street from Bryson Building on Queen Street and built lab facilities with water channel, wind tunnel and hydraulic basin; Edwards Mill was used by NRC until Montreal Road labs were available in the late 1930s; in 1923, Rockcliffe site was being discussed for the NRC and it is during the Tory regime that the Montreal Road site was expropriated; CDA disagreements flowed from vague boundary between crop improvement and biological research; science department labs exhibition halls located on east side of building and housed aeronautical display until World War Two; SDL had no cafeteria until after World War Two and many staff ate sandwiches in their offices; NRC internal estimates were based on directors of divisions draft budgets, internal NRC conference; Treasury Board approval and House of Commons; at the creation of SDL, staff were initially ranked low and then came the Depression and the pay and promotion freeze; Col. F.M. Gaudet was senior full-time officer until September 1922; HAC was a self-replacing body which had always chosen its own chairman hence the resentment of imposition of McNaughton by the Government; annual report of 1944 plans peacetime policy: NRC as Government science adviser and research on engineering problems; in the 1920s, Government accepted HAC advice on scholarships and grants, building NRC labs and Association Committee system; after 1945, the Government accepted NRC proposals on atomic research, creation of DRB, establishment of Canadian Patents Ltd., and other topics; for the peacetime budget, HAC had no indication of Government plans for NRC, so HAC recommended DRB, MRC creation on their own initiative; and HAC felt that medical research was uniquely placed to raise research funds directly. <1h 59mn>
