RECENT PAPERS ON SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL 
RESEARCH. 
Report on the Organization of Scientific and Industrial Research, by 
G. Hogben and J. A. Thomson. New Zealand Pari. Paper H.-47, 
9 pp., 1917. 
If British production and manufacture is to hold its own after the 
war, the application of the methods and acquired knowledge of science to 
industry and an enormous increase of research into industrial problems has 
become, in the opinion of all thoughtful men, an absolute necessity. To 
carry out these reforms much private and public money mast be spent, 
and to ensure efficiency in matters previously left very largely to private 
enterprise public bodies charged with the duty of co-ordination must be 
set up. The present report contains a summary of the steps in this direc¬ 
tion that have been taken in Great Britain, the Overseas Dominions, and 
in the United States of America, to create the necessary machinery.
