Abstract
THE union held its annual congress at the Linnean Society's rooms in Burlington House on June 6–9, which was well attended by delegates from all parts of the union's area. This was the first occasion of its meeting in central London, and was an undoubted success. The address by the president, Dr. W. Martin, dealt with “Science and the Industries,” and traced the lines on which, by Jialting steps, the Government had in the past encouraged the study of science. It called on the nation to insist that its leaders shall give due recognition to the truth that the country's future is bourtd up with giving the fullest encouragement to workers in all branches of science, and urged the uniod to take its place as an organisation of value and power in the strenuous times before the country when the war is over.
