Abstract
THE report of the National Research Council of Japan for the year ending March 1933 shows that, during the year, meetings of the following divisions of the Council were held: administration, astronomy, geophysics, chemistry, physics, geology and geography, agriculture, medical sciences, engineering and mathematics. Each division has sectional committees which deal with branches of the work, as for example, dyestuffe, industrial research and radio research; and delegates attended the meetings of the International Unions of Astronomy at Cambridge, Mass., and of Mathematics at Zurich. The urgent necessity of encouraging and supporting scientific and industrial research has led to the formation of a “Foundation for the Promotion of Scientific and Industrial Research of Japan“which was incorporated in December 1932 with an annual Government grant of 700,000 yen for current expenses.
