To be frank, Australasia was somewhat lax in its efforts to entice talent from Europe and America.
After all, Australasia achieved a lead in airplanes, tanks, aircraft carriers, rockets, and other areas, which diminished its need for talent from Europe and America.
Immigration had been a major topic over the past few years, whereas the introduction of technical personnel, though still ongoing, had lessened in intensity compared to before.
It wasn't until William Edward Boeing brought up the issue that Arthur realized the greatest disparity between Australasia and the United States wasn't in population or the economy, but in the reserve of mid-level talent accumulated over the years.
Perhaps America couldn't match Australasia's technology in airplanes and tanks, but it far surpassed Australasia in the reserve of intermediate talent.
