Abstract
THE annual report of the Council of Management for the British Science Guild, 1933–34, presented at the annual general meeting on June 12, refers to the activities of the Parliamentary Science Committee, the headquarters of which are at present at the offices of the Guild. The Committee is already supported by a number of scientific and technical associations, and active steps arc being taken to secure the active interest of the majority of scientific societies. The Guild continued during 1933 to make representations to the Government regarding the importance of continuing the work of the Research Association of British Rubber Manufacturers, which the Committee of the Privy Council has now agreed to assist by an annual grant for five years. A preliminary memorandum on the development and finance of industrial research has been issued by the committee set up jointly with the Association of Scientific Workers, and arising out of a meeting of the Committee questions have been raised in Parliament regarding expenditure on wireless research by the Post Office and British Broadcasting Corporation. The question of adopting the French system of automatic time transmission by telephone has been raised with the Postmaster-General and is under consideration. Attention has also been directed to the importance of scientific research in connexion with the newly formed marketing boards.
