Abstract
THE continued growth of nationalism during the past few years has brought clearly to the mind of many people the thought that, pace the League of Nations and all it represents, the struggle among nations will in the future, as so often in the past, result in the battle going to the strong and the race to the swift. One consequence is that the governments of the more important nations, aware of the futility of trusting to mere numbers of man power, are turning more and more to the encouragement of the best minds among their own nationals in the hope that their discoveries will place their own nation in the forefront and so enable it to reap the due reward, be it either in war or in peace.
