Research and Development in the British Colonies

Abstract

UNDER the title "Colonial Research 1944–45"*, there have now been issued the second annual reports of the Colonial Research Committee and of the Colonial Products Research Council, and the first annual report of the Colonial Social Science Research Council; for convenient record, these reports will in future be published in a single volume. Following on the reports of the Commissions on Higher Education in the Colonies and in West Africa (see Nature, Sept. 27, p. 373), they assist materially in appraising the recommendations of those Commissions in regard to Colonial research; and although the Colonial Research Committee's report is not concerned with fundamental principles of policy to quite the same extent as its first report, the present report is of scarcely less general interest.
