Abstract
MR. ORMSBY-GORE, Parliamentary Undersecretary of State for the Colonies, speaking at the annual dinner of the National Union of Scientific Workers on March 19, emphasised the need for many more highly trained scientific officers in British colonial possessions. His recent visit to East Africa with Major Church, secretary of the Union, as members of the East African Parliamentary Commission, revealed to him some of the problems which could be solved only by the use of scientific knowledge, and developments which can come from scientific guidance alone. He regarded the present position as to officers and institutions concerned with tropical agriculture as “a disgrace to the Empire.”
