In 1940, the Design and Industries Association (DIA), was announced in Sydney. Its earliest members included Sydney Ure Smith (President), R. Haughton James (Secretary), Russell Roberts (Treasurer), William Knight, Douglas Annand, Frank Medworth, Gilbert Russell and Geoffrey Collings and the architect Arthur Baldwinson. This organisation faltered, then failed under the pressure of the 1939-45 War.
