The British government has ap pointed a Committee Of the Privy Council to deal with the subject, and it is announced that in France a new national laboratory on a very large scale has been projected. In Australia the government has ap pointed a special department to consider what steps Should be taken for the organization and development of research work in the Commonwealth, and in Canada the matter has been the subject Of government inquiry and solicitude.
