Abstract
THE Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Information (Mr. Ernest Thurtle, M.P.) opened a conference of British scientific and technical institutes on March 9 at which Sir John Russell, adviser to the Soviet Relations Branch of the Ministry of Information, took the chair. The conference, which took place in the rooms of the Royal Society, was called to discuss an intensification of the exchange of technical and scientific information between the U.S.S.R. and Great Britain. Some sixty scientific organizations and learned societies of Great Britain sent representatives to the conference, and it was decided to set up a standing committee to assist the Ministry of Information in this work and to act as a clearing-house between organizations in Great Britain and their opposite numbers in the U.S.S.R. A representative of the Soviet Government is to be invited to join the subcommittee.
