Abstract

CHEMICAL industry in Britain is now passing >-' through a very critical period; many people are realising its importance, and it is being compared, not always to its advantage, with the German chemical industry. Whilst it is true that as regards the manufacture of dyes and pharmaceutical chemicals we have much leeway to make up, the same cannot be affirmed of all branches, even of the organic chemical industry. It is desired here to indicate briefly the present position of the oil and fat industry in relation to the application of science in it.
