Abstract
THE meetings of Section F (Economics and Statistics) at the recent meeting of the British Association at Cardiff were characterised by the greater part taken in the programme by the younger students of economics, and the result augurs well for the future of the science. What some of the readers of papers may have lacked in experience and authority they gained in freshness of outlook, in readiness to face the new facts of the post-war situation, and in refusal to be bound by the views of the older generation. It would have been interesting had some of the older representatives of the science been present to see the clash of the old ideas and the new; in their absence some of the less orthodox views went almost unchallenged.
