Abstract
THE importance of scientific research as a basis for the industrial reconstruction, adjustment and developments which Great Britain must be prepared to make after the War has been repeatedly emphasized in recent months. Following on Sir Harold Hartley's appeal for industrialists to become more research-minded, Lord McGowan discussed the particular position of the chemical industry in an address before a joint meeting of the Institution of Chemical Engineers and the Chemical Engineering Group and the London Section of the Society of Chemical Industry. The report of a committee of the Federation of British Industries under the chairmanship of Sir William Larke, to which Dr. Dunsheath referred in his Atkinson Memorial Lecture to the Royal Society of Arts earlier this year, has now been published, following swiftly on another notable report from the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee.
