lating to these legacies: “It is my desire that 
each religious, educational and charitable cor- 
poration, which may receive a share of my

INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION 
Tue following statement has been adopted 
unanimously by the Inter-Allied Conference 
on the future of International Organization in 
Science, which met at Burlington House under 
the auspices of the Royal Society on October 
9. It is intended to serve as a preamble to a 
number of resolutions, dealing with the with- 
drawal of the Allied nations from existing in- 
ternational associations and the formation of 
new ones to take their place. The confirmation 
of the academies represented at the Confer- 
ence is required before the text of the resolu-

When more than four years ago the outbreak of 
war divided Europe into hostile camps, men of sci- 
ence were still able to hope that the conclusion of 
peace would join at once the broken threads; and 
that the present enemies might then once more be 
able to meet in friendly conference, uniting their 
efforts to advance the interests of science. For ever 
since the revival of learning in the Middle Ages, the
