Abstract
I HAVE just received an invitation from the War Office “to become an associate member of the Committee now being constituted as part of the new peace organisation for chemical warfare research and experiment.” The invitation was accompanied by what is stated to be the present list of associate members, containing more than sixty names well known in science. As it stands, this list is certainly a very powerful inducement to accept the invitation in the case of anyone content in this important matter to follow the lead of his more influential colleagues, for it comprises a very large proportion of the best known workers in the branch of science mainly involved. Unfortunately, however, it includes my own name, and I take it, therefore, that, in part at least, it is in reality a list of those to whom invitations are being issued rather than of those who have accepted the invitation.
