Abstract
WHILE the statement on science and the national effort which Lord Hankey made in the House of Lords on April 2 (see NATUBE of April 12, p. 432) of necessity adds little to an earlier statement by Lord Chatfield last year, it gives an admirable reply to certain criticisms of the use being made by the Government of our scientific man-power, and with little supplementing could well be used by the scientific worker to educate public opinion as to the part which science is playing in our war effort. It was, of course, well-nigh impossible for Lord Hankey to cover the whole field in any detail in the time at his disposal, but there are at least two respects in which from the point of view of educating public opinion his statement might perhaps have been amplified.
