Abstract
THE purpose of the World Power Conference is to consider how the industrial and scientific sources of power may be adjusted nationally and internationally; and the sectional meeting of this Conference which was held on Sept. 23-Oct. 6 to deal with fuel problems has undoubtedly contributed materially towards the furtherance of this object. The first plenary World Power Conference, held at Wembley in 1924, dealt in the broadest possible manner with power and its uses, and was a real attempt to see the world as an economic whole. Problems of the greatest importance were raised, which indicated the desirability of further meetings to discuss various sections of the subject in a more specialised manner. Thus, in 1926 a sectional meeting, limited to the discussion of water-power problems, was held appropriately at Basle. The recent Conference was devoted to the subject of fuel, the winning, preparation, transport, and utilisation of which are subjects commanding the attention of industrialists and technicians throughout the world.
