Abstract
THE issue of the Times published on March 8 contains an article headed “The Progress of Science: Revolt against Super-Organisation”. A few words of comment are necessary, though the task is disagreeable owing to the general tenor of the article, which in parts is frankly abusive and in others misleading. Its chief invective is directed against the International Research Council. This, according to the author, is to be “the supreme body in all the affairs of science”, and he follows up this product of his imagination by enumerating in the same sentence the avowed objects of the International Research Council, placing a pure invention of his own in juxtaposition to the actual functions of the body concerned so as to leave the impression that both have equal authority.
