Abstract
MANY readers of Nature will have been astonished and repelled by the studied discourtesy with which eight of the intending guests of the Soviet Academy of Sciences were prevented by His Majesty's Government last week from going to Moscow. Not only were they put to gross inconvenience and annoyance by the refusal, without warning and at the last moment, of permission to travel, but also the explanation given was as incredible as the real reason was insulting.
