Abstract
THE twenty-fifth annual congress of the Union was held at Eastbourne on June 2–6, under the presidency of Sir Edward Brabrook, who in his presidential address dealt with progress in anthropology and economics during the past quarter of a century. In regard to the latter, he expressed the opinion that the war seemed to have dismissed all economic orthodoxy into thin air, with unrestricted paper currency, reckless extravagance, trading by Government, and manipulation of markets, all of which had been borne with patience during war-time, but were intolerable in time of peace. Science had done what it could to provide sound instruction by the issue of standard works.
