Abstract
SPEAKING at a meeting convened by the Faculty of Science of Marx House on October 5, Prof. J. D. Bernal summed up the Conference on Science and World Order. The meeting, he said, tended to avoid reference to the difficulties of scientific planning at the present time. The first necessity is to win the War, and the time for planning is now. It is simple to see what we need from science, namely, an environment in which material things are at their best and have the ability to obtain a secure social life. Want and war are the two chief horrors of to-day. Science has pointed the way to remove them and will remove them if the peoples of the world co-operate with the scientific workers.
