Abstract
IN an address on "The Establishment of an Imperial Economy" (Bull. Soc. d'Encouragement pour l'Industrie Nationale, October 1939), M. E. du Vivier de Streel discusses the dependence of France on her colonial resources. He stresses the importance of science and technology in colonial development and the necessity of placing larger resources at the disposal of scientific organizations and technical men for the investigation of colonial problems, whether in improvement of agriculture, the prevention or control of disease, or the opening up of mineral resources. Such work should not be left precariously at the mercy of any local drive for economy. M. du Vivier de Streel refers also to the importance of population questions, education and a policy of public works, but while covering briefly much the same ground as the "African Survey" of Lord Hailey, he makes no reference to that outstanding work.
