Abstract
THE unanimity with which some form of de-liberate planning of our national resources and of our industrial if not of our social and economic life has been suggested in technical journals of high standing and ranging over chemical industry, engineering, and the electrical and gas industries is highly significant, and is evidence of the growing realisation that a scientific age can only be safe if the powers of science are exercised with wisdom. In a speech at the annual dinner of the British Association of Chemists, Dr. E. F. Armstrong, after referring to the lack of scientific knowledge on the part of many of the world's political leaders, their opportunism and lack of definite plans, urged that chemists with other scientific workers should use their influence in industry and professionally in support of leaders who would attempt to plan, the international reconstruction of the world on the basis of a definite five-year or similar plan.
