Abstract
PROF. J. D. BERNAL writes : "In their letter published in Nature of May 15, the President and Secretary of Society for Freedom in Science put forward a number of reasons for rejecting the proposals for central distribution of scientific papers as set forward in my paper for the Royal Society Scientific Information Conference. The paper referred to, however, has not been published as it was intended for discussion in the first place and it is therefore impossible for most readers to judge how far it is open to the criticisms here given to it.
