Abstract
PUBLISHED under the auspices of the World Power Conference, a new monthly periodical entitled World Survey has appeared this month (5s. net), its aim being described as that of presenting and analysing world economic trends. A special feature is the inclusion of a section recording, by means of index numbers, changes in industrial and agricultural production, wholesale and retail prices, unemployment, production of power and fuel and other statistics relating to transport, finance and world trade. In the first number, the articles cover a wide field, including among other subjects the future development of power-producing industries, the international aspects of public works, and machinery and labour displacement. In a special world economic service section, there are articles dealing with Belgium and the gold standard and with the world rubber situation. It is intended that World Survey shall facilitate an international exchange of information and opinion between those engaged in the power and fuel industries and economic experts, so that industrial data can be analysed and related continuously to theoretical work. An international bibliography of new publications relating to power and fuel is also included as a monthly feature.
