PROCEEDINGS FOR 1916 XXXIII 
The important question of Industrial Research introduced by the 
President’s letter was very thoroughly discussed at two sessions of 
the Section and various opinions as to the best method of procedure 
were advanced. The following resolution which was adopted repre- 
sents the final conclusion of the members of Section III :— 
‘Whereas, it is important that the scientific forces of Canada 
should be organized to aid in the vigorous and efficient prosecution 
of the war and in the development of Canadian industries to meet 
the present conditions as well as those which may prevail after the 
war.” 
“Resolved that the Royal Society of Canada respectfully suggests 
to the Government the appointment of a Committee or Commission 
of scientific men whose duty it shall be to advise the Government how 
best to utilize the men and laboratories available for such purposes.” 
The work of the Committee appointed last year for the purpose 
of considering the possibility of organizing a computing bureau was 
continued by the reappointment of this Committee.
