Abstract
AMONG the duties charged on the Advisory Council for Scientific and Industrial Research is that of advising on steps to be taken for the advancement of trade and industry by means of scientific research. It was therefore inevitable that in a year of such persistent industrial depression and unemployment, the Advisory Council should be concerned with means by which science could assist in larger measure the restoration of our industries to full health. While the diagnosis of our present difficulties lies outside its scope, the latest report of the Advisory Council (Cmd. 3789) does not hesitate to assert that the increased use of scientific knowledge and scientific methods by our competitors abroad has been an important factor in the loss of our pre-eminent industrial position.
