Abstract
WHILE the older sections of the British Association from A to M have been obliged to suspend their activities because of the exigencies of the War, the Division for the Social and International Relations of Science—the youngest and, one might say, the adopted child of that elderly yet virile organization—organized a Conference on Science and World Order at the Royal Institution, London, during September 26–28. On the day preceding its public sessions, at a luncheon arranged by the British Council and attended by many members of the Government and Diplomatic Corps, Mr. Anthony Eden, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, expressed the growing appreciation by our higher statesmen of the value of scientific training, scientific research and the applications of science in the conduct of public affairs (see p. 403).
