Abstract
THE Engineers' Study Group on Economics is entering its third year of activity, and Sir Richard Gregory has been elected president for the year. The Group consists of six sections investigating the various factors that may help to solve the present paradox of poverty amidst plenty. An analysis of twenty-four existing or proposed social and economic systems, prepared by Section B of the Group, was noticed in NATURE of May 25, 1935, p. 884. Section A, which is investigating the available, the desirable and the potential production of Great Britain, hopes to present a similar report shortly. Scientific workers, not necessarily engineers, willing to help in the application of scientific principles to the urgent problems of the day are welcomed by the Group. The yearly subscription is: minimum 5s., maximum £1. Sections meet in the evening at 85 Gloucester Place, W.I. The next group meeting will be at the Guildhouse, Eccleston Square, S.W.I (Berwick Street entrance), on Tuesday, October 15, at 7 p.m.; Sir Richard Paget will speak on his recent visit to the U.S.S.R. Those wishing to attend should notify the honorary secretary, A. H. Hayes, Hazlitt House, Southampton Buildings, W.C.2 (Tel.: Holborn 1068).
