review text: Relying on his published study of the subject, the author discusses in this short note the ``paradox of the late (around 1940) arrival of academic applied mathematics in the U.S.''. There is a short description of the indigenious development and a somewhat more detailed one of the ``arrival'' itself which the author attributed mainly to the transfer of ``ideas, persons, ideals'' after 1933, in particular from Germany, as exemplified by R. Courant, J. von Neumann, R. von Mises, and others. The paper is completed by a bibliography of 65 items.
