Abstract
MR. D. S. EVANS, University Observatory, Oxford, writing with reference to the letter in NATURE of September 27 by Mr. D. L. Johnston urging the need for a scientific press bureau, states that the Association of Scientific Workers has devoted considerable attention to this problem. A scheme has been drafted by the Association whereby each of its more thanfifty branches all over Great Britain can act as centres of diffusion for simple and accurate facts on scientific problems of current importance, and it is hoped that this organization will begin functioning in a few weeks. It is an amateur organization, but its possibilities are considerable, and experience will be gained which will be invaluable if, and when, a more formal body is set up. Mr. Evans states that the Association intends to develop this propaganda work for science by every means in itspower, and co–operation with other organizations or individuals will be heartily welcomed.
