Abstract
THE stimulating lecture on fundamental scientific problems in the food industry delivered by Dr. L. M. Lampitt before the Liverpool and the Edinburgh Sections of the Society of Chemical Industry early this year directed attention to a number of problems in research which are of interest far beyond the bounds of the food industry. Dr. Lampitt, for example, was emphatic on the importance of the co-ordination of research, not merely of that financed or directed by the State but also of that carried out by academic or private institutions or by industry itself. Through lack of such co-ordination, not merely in the food industry but in other industries as well, there is overlapping and waste of effort, and also failure to undertake some of the more fundamental work upon which progress finally depends.
