Abstract
IN his article in NATURE of July 19 on the Second Plenary World Power Conference in Berlin, Mr. H. Quigley has presented the results of the meeting in a somewhat wrong perspective. As a matter of fact, the constitution of the World Power Conference renders it almost impossible for immediate action to be taken such as he would suggest. The position is really as follows: a number of resolutions, some of which bear very directly upon the work of the Conference as a permanent organisation, were passed during the technical sessions, but in accordance with our unvarying practice, none of these resolutions was endorsed by the International Executive Council this year. They will be circulated to all the national committees, will be examined by a special sub-committee, and will come up for consideration and appropriate action at the next meeting of the Council, to be held in London at the time of the Faraday celebrations in September 1931. In other words, no exceptional treatment was accorded to the resolutions passed during the technical sessions this year.
