Abstract
THE address on "Scientific Co-operation within the British Commonwealth" which Prof. A. V. Hill delivered to the Royal Empire Society on January 31 has claims on the close attention of all scientific workers. In the first place, it gives an account of the actual progress that has been made in implementing co-operation since the committee appointed by the Royal Society reported in 1943. In particular, the Empire Scientific Conference to be called in London by the Royal Society either later this year or, more probably, in 1946, which is one indirect result, not merely of that report, but also of Prof. A. V. Hill's visit to India, of the more recent visit of Indian men of science to Britain and of Sir Henry Tizard's visit to Australia and Canada in 1943, will call for the active support of many more scientific workers than the sixty actual delegates contemplated.
