inusi claim the part, to which it is justly entitled. The steps, 

 which are necessary in this country for this work, are as follows: 



I. Prlliminakv : 



(a) A coniplclc census of existing laboratories and workers. 

 ih) A complete census of facilities for the education of scientific 

 workers of all kinds and classes. 



(c) A complete census of all manufactures, tlieir K'cation. ir.elliods. 



raw materials and output. 



(d) A complete census of all known existint^ raw materials of this 



country, which might he put to use for niauufacturinf> or other 

 purposes. 

 ( (' ) The collection of information from, and reciprocity with, organ- 

 isations having similar objects throughout the Kmpiro, and in 

 .\llied or friendly States. 



J. St.\ni).\kijis.\tio.\ : 



(a) Of scientific instruments of all kinds, whether used in lahomtories 



tir works. 

 (.6) .\nd scientific control of apparatus and materials recpiired in 



research. 



.V T.MTiATioN: The appointment of a Central Council which shall — 



((/) Receive and suggest problems for research; 



( b) By the organisation of manufactures of the same or similar pro- 

 ducts, ascertain what is necessary for their progress ; 



( (■ ) Keep in close touch with all the Universities and Scientific 

 Societies in the country. 



4. Assistance : 



(a) By endowments to laboratories and workers- 

 ib) By the collection, pul)lication, and disseminat'on of information. 

 ((■) By the establishment and endowment of liiiraries. 

 ( d) P.y the advancement of scientific education in schools, colleges, 

 and universities. 



(c) By increasing the equipment, etc., of existing laboratories, and 



the establishment of new ones. 

 (f) \W the provision of lal)oratories for carrying out suggested indus- 

 trial processes on a small commercial scale with the sanction 

 and approval of the Centra! Council. 



5. Co-ORUIXATIUX : 



(a) By annual reports from all laboratories. 

 ib) By bringing all workers in the same I)ranch together, 

 (r) By the dissemination of information respecting similar work 

 being done elsewhere. 



( d) By annual Congresses of all Scientific Societies. 



{ e) By annual Congresses of manufacturers and trade interests. 



If research should show, that new industries can l)e estah- 

 lished in this country with advantage, of which I cannot enter- 

 tain the slightest doubt, it wdll be possible by legislation, if neces- 

 sary, to assist their inception by the establishment of Industrial 

 Banks, which would advance funds for the ])urpose of financ- 

 ing them in their early stages, provided that the nietliods to be 

 employed had been sanctioned by a competent authority as men- 

 tioned above. In addition to this, protection c(nild be given for 

 a time at least by patent laws, which, if unsuitable, could be 

 amended, but this is a shield upon which too much reliance 

 .-should not be placed.
