Abstract
AT the annual council meeting of the National Union of Scientific Workers, held at the Caxton Hall, Westminster, on January 13, and at the annual dinner which followed, the main theme of the resolutions which were adopted, of the various speeches made, and of the reports presented, was the methods by which the position of the scientific worker could best be improved. The late Government, it was alleged, had adopted a short-sighted policy with regard to most of those State activities which promised to have the most uplifting and far-reaching effect upon the efficiency and well-being of the nation. It had practised so-called economy by reducing expenditure on education and scientific research, at a time when our chief commercial rivals were increasing their expenditure in that direction.
