Abstract
THE annual report of the World Power Conference for 1938, prepared by the Central Office of the World Power Conference, 36 Kingsway, London, W.C.2, has just been issued. There was a meeting of the International Executive Council in Vienna during August 29-September 1, attended by more than a thousand persons from thirty-seven different countries. The British Council was officially represented by Sir Harold Hartley and J. M. Kennedy. The British delegation numbered ninety-three and was nearly double the size of any other visiting delegation. Approximately two hundred papers were presented at the meeting. It is hoped to publish these papers and the discussions on them this year in the Transactions of the World Power Conference. A new national committee has been formed for Algeria, and there are now forty national committees. In response to an invitation issued and accepted in 1936, the second Chemical Engineering Congress of the World Power Conference will be held in Berlin in 1940. At the same time and place the third Congress on Large Dams will be held. The questions to be discussed have already been fixed. By invitation of the Swiss National Committee a meeting of the International Executive Committee will be held in Zurich shortly.
