rather limited, as éolleagues from other countries cannot 
read too many national periodicals. Thus, this solution 
might promote national selfconsciousness, however, it is 
certainly not the best from the viewpoint of the ISP. 
Consequence 
Therefore, the ISP should promote regional internatio- 
nal periodicals. As an example, it is proposed that two 
EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAMMETRIC AND REMOTE SENSING PERIODICAL 
be established, one for east and one for west Europe. 
The West European Periodocal could be trillingual. It 
should replace the existing national photogrammetric perio- 
dicals. It must be so attractive that at least all members 
of the national photogrammetric societies of that region 
will be subscribers. 
Tor tackling the problem of publishing lengthy papers 
we should learn from other fields and adopt a system which 
is applied, for instance, in periodicals of chemistry: hard- 
ly any paper is printed in full length but just as a synop- 
sis, covering one or two pages. The publisher offers for 
each contribution Xerox prints in full length; interested 
readers order for it. 
Final Remark 
The author is not as optimistio as to believe that neit- 
her editors nor national photogrammetric bodies will agree 
immediately to this proposal for photogrammetrio periodi- 
cals on a regional international basis. He is convinced, 
however, that facts will leave no other chance for the 
future,
