Abstract
THERE must be many among the ranks of scientific workers who, from time to time, have been alarmed at the consequences which might attend the further extensions of the restrictions on freedom of scientific thought and investigation already imposed in various European countries and elsewhere, or the continued prostitution of scientific effort on an ever-growing scale on preparations for war. Others have been disturbed at the paradox presented by the heavy incidence of unemployment and distress in a world which science has already endowed with resources undreamed of scarcely a generation ago.
