Abstract
ALTHOUGH the article "Science and Government" by Dr. H. G. Moulton, president of the Brookings Institution (published in Science of December 11, 1942, which has just been received), is mainly concerned with relations between scientific workers and the Government of the United States, it is of some interest with regard to current discussions in Great Britain on the place of science in government. Dr. Moulton covers a wide field, including scientific research into the machinery of government as well as the conduct of scientific research by government and the use of scientifically trained men by government, and he suggests that the surest means of resolving the prevailing confusion of our time and of finding solutions to the baffling problems now confronting civilization lies in a re-integration of knowledge through the systematic study of the various fields of science conceived as a whole.
