Abstract
THE first and second sections of the interim Report of the Committee on National Expenditure, presided over by Sir Eric Geddes, were published on February 10 (Cmd. 1581, 4s. net; Cmd. 1582, 3s. net), and the particulars of expenditure and proposed economies in the various supply services are receiving much public attention. Throughout the Report reductions are recommended in expenditure on education and research, on the general principle that the reduced resources of the nation at the present time make all possible economies essential. Thus we have such sweeps of the axe as:—Research for Army purposes to be reduced from 625,000l. to 312,000l.; Naval scientific services (400,000l.) to one-half; aviation research from 1,500,000l. to 500,000l.
