Abstract
THE Third World Power Conference and the Second Congress of the International Commission on Large Dams of the World Power Conference are to be held in Washington concurrently on September 7–12. Arrangements are in course of completion for the preparation of a thoroughly authoritative collection of British papers. The British Committee on Large Dams has arranged for the preparation of several papers for presentation at the Second International Congress. The meetings will be both preceded and followed by ‘study tours’, an essential feature of which will be ‘round-table discussions' which will be linked up with the places of technical interest visited. It has been felt that as the questions to be dealt with at the plenary meeting are largely economic and administrative in character, a due balance will be preserved by emphasising the technical character of the study tours and of the round-table discussions between specialists which will be associated with them. There will also be a post-Conference trans-Continental tour of about three weeks' duration, the cost of which will be remarkably low since—thanks to the generosity of the American hosts?a substantial subsidy will be devoted to reduce what would otherwise be the very considerable expenditure involved. Intending participants in the Conference or Congress are requested to apply as soon as possible for full particulars to the office of the British National Committee of the World Power Conference, 36 Kingsway, London, W.C.2.
