Abstract
A FEATURE of the discussions at the conference on the Planning of Science arranged by the Association of Scientific Workers last January was the constant reference to the need for closer inter-Allied co-operation, and in particular to the need for extending the arrangements by which young workers from the war laboratories may visit their colleagues in other countries, not merely for discussion but also to work side by side in allied teams. The value of fostering contacts between workers in the universities, in industry, and in Government departments, and of frequent exchange of staff as well as of information, was clearly recognized, and was afterwards reiterated by Dr. P. Dunsheath in a paper before the Royal Society of Arts. Similarly, the importance of establishing a central information bureau from which such scientific and technical liaison could be conducted as to ensure that departmental missions are at least in touch with one another, and that those at the centre know what all, and not just a few, of the various departments are doing, no longer appears to be in dispute.
