Abstract
THE Department of Commerce and Industry of the Government of the Union of South Africa has published a review of the material, scientific and educational progress made in connexion with the development of industry during the twenty-five years up to 1935. Primarily, its purpose is to give an accurate picture of the conditions and prospects in what are described as the secondary industries, for agriculture and mining are otherwise dealt with and are only referred to in so far as they have a bearing on the other and less firmly established industries. The information it contains as to the conditions, facilities, costs, etc., in various districts and the progress of the numerous industries which have been established will also be found to supply a valuable scientific interpretation of the facts for the use of those who are or may become interested in the industrial future of the country.
