Abstract
ALTHOUGH I am not a scientific man myself, it has fallen to my lot to be connected with certain aspects of the problem of the exposition of science. I have been engaged in examining the problem of how to organize better the presentation of the methods and results of science throughout the world or, in other words, the international dissemination of science. After three or four years of preparatory work, in 1938, the League of Nations, through the International Institute of Intellectual Co-operation in Paris, appointed a committee of scientific men, presided over by myself, to report on the matter. Before I say more about the committee and its work, it may be instructive to record, very briefly, the preliminary inquiries which led to its appointment.
