Abstract
THE serious position in which this country was placed at the outbreak of hostilities by the almost complete stoppage of the supply of optical glass and of the import of optical instruments, is at last attracting the attention of the public which should have been much sooner focussed upon it. The importance of the subject was early recognised by the British Science Guild, which referred its consideration to its Technical Optics Committee. This committee, after fully investigating the evidence then available, reported, and the guild forwarded an important report to the Board of Trade; the report was printed in full in our issue of March 25 (page 104). So far as can be ascertained, however, no official action appears to have resulted.
