Abstract
IN his recent presidential address to the Royal Society, Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins referred at some length to the Medical Research Council and its relations to the Agricultural Research Council and the Advisory Council of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. Stressing the relations which have from their inception existed between the three councils and the Royal Society, Sir Frederick suggested that their creation and the definition of their respective duties and relations had brought into being a great national research organisation, to be viewed as a whole and fully worthy of the confidence of the Society and of Great Britain. Although even to-day it is not fully understood by statesmen that endowment of research is among the most profitable of national investments, scientific men are now in real control of scientific policy in Britain even when it deals with enterprises endowed by the State.
