Abstract
IN view of the widespread feeling that our scientific and technical resources are not being used to the best advantage in the national effort, that much valuable knowledge and experience is being wasted through sufficient responsibility not being given to scientific workers, and that a number of scientific workers have grievances, caused by irregular conditions of working, which unnecessarily discourage them from putting out their maximum effort, the Association of Scientific Workers is calling a series of regional conferences at which men of science, engineers, technicians and laboratory assistants can discuss their problems and decide on appropriate action. Much of the responsibility for improvement of the situation must be borne by all classes of scientific workers. It is therefore to be hoped that the fullest co-operation of all concerned will be obtained.
