Abstract
WITH the increase in the number of reports issued by individual boards or departments under the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, the value of the Department's own report, a survey of which appears on p. 499 of this issue, and especially that of the Advisory Council, is enhanced rather than diminished. Apart altogether from the broad picture it gives of the many-sided contributions made by the Department to the welfare of the whole nation, it has become increasingly a vehicle for the discussion of the more fundamental problems of co-operative scientific and industrial research, and of the factors upon which success or failure in this field depend.
