Abstract
THE same principles are followed in this third, Year-Book as in No. 1 (1936) and No. 2 (1937), the ultimate aim being to give comparable statistics of world power resources. Two noteworthy advances have, however, been incorporated in this volume, quite apart from progress made towards publication of complete statistics for the whole world. For the first time a table is included at the beginning of the volume showing the area and population of most of the countries from which statistics have been obtained. Also there is clear indication that the several countries have made a greater effort to return statistics in conformity with definitions adopted by the World Power Conference.
