GERMAN DEFEAT IN SCIENCE

The serious position of the country in regard to the diminish- ing output of coal was commented upon by Professor Henry Louis (Preside it of the Society of Chemical Industry) at the annual meeting of the Society, which opened at the Mansion House recently..

Professor Louis. replying to the Lord Mayor's speech of welcome, said that coal was the thing upon which the whole of Britain lived. Coal was our sole material export, and if the output of coal from this country were stopped for only a few weeks the In whole country would starve.

face of a diminished output the only remedy that one could immediately, sea was to uilise that smaller output to the greatest possible advantage, and to do that was the task essentially of our scientific and technological men. They had not failed in the days of war, and he felt sure that, they would not fail in strenuous" days of reconstruction.

He was looking forward to the magnificent hody of chemists whom we really had in this country once again to help the country. That could necessaily! only be accomplished by close- and intimate

between scientific men and the commercial and industrial men. (Cheers.)

The following message sent to the King, who is patron of the Society:-"Tae members of the Society of Chemical Industry. gathered at the Mansion House. on the occasion of their first annual meeting in London since the com- mencement of the war, send to your most gracious Majesty their sincere congratulations on the peace that has been secured by by the great victory of your Forces in conjunction with those of your Allies, and their heartfelt wish

ish"that it may be followed by many years of prosperity and happiness."

country to execute them. He tific In his presidential address, Professor. Louis dealt with the splendid war effort of the chemical industries of the country. particularly devating attention to the question of explosives and to the ousting of German chemical industries. Every single chemist in Great Britain, he said. had been engaged directly or indirect, ly on war work in some form or other, and no body of men had the right to claim a larger share in the triumphant issue.

The one great fact that emerged. was that our chemical industry had shown itself capable of sus- taining successfully the fiercest and most strenuous competition. Utterly unprepared for war con- ditions it had shown itself more energetic, and more successful than any had dared to hope. We could never have built up so rapidly this vast edifice of chemi cal industry if the foundations upon which we had to build had not been throughly sound. He saw in these results a triumphant vindication of the thesis that in the teaching of science, and more tech- particularly of scientific

nology, we were quite on a par with any other nation. It had often been urged by those who looked upon German educa- tional methods as the acme of perfection, that we ought to model our methods of technical

German teaching upon

lines. This war had shown that our teachers who had stedfastly ad- hered to the methods that suited our national idiosyncrasies were justified. We could certainly learn much of the organisation of scientific education and much of the respect due to science from our enemies, but we should adhere 10. our own essentially British methods of technical education. Germany bad for 40 years been applying her a ience to warfare, but the science which we Buch possessed available for application, was of a far higher. .order, and we had been able to

beat our enemies at all points.

We had beaten Germany in war because of our superior pro- ductivity; we produced more of the essentials needed in warfare than did our enemies more ships, more guns, more explo- sives. What was true of warfare equally true of the less less spectacular but no severe competition of peace; if we were to hold what we had gained, it could only be by main- taining our productive capacity, andamoressing our outputs.
