Abstract
THE War brought about a recognition of the value and application of research in solving the many problems which arose during the continuance of the struggle. As is well known, Germany, both in government and commercial circles, had recognised the value of research work before the dawn of the present century. The years following the Armistice have furnished evidence that if the British Empire is to keep pace with its competitors it must make the fullest use of the scientific worker in dealing with the complicated questions of administration and development which confront it. It is of good augury that this fact is now appreciated both by the Government of Great Britain and those responsible for the Empire overseas, the subject having been discussed at the Conferences of Prime Ministers which have been held in London.
