Abstract
ONE of the most significant passages in the recent report* of the Advisory Council of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research is that which is concerned with the policy the Council has followed in regard to grants for scientific and industrial research. As announced in last year's report, the policy adopted under the stringency imposed by the demand for national economy has been to concentrate available funds on work of the most immediate practical value to industry. In pursuance of this policy, some reduction has been made in the value of individual grants as well as in the number of new awards. This decision was taken with regret, and the Advisory Council has to be content with the knowledge that it has at any rate preserved intact for a more favourable time the organisation for the pursuit of more fundamental inquiries.
