SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. 
It will also be the duty of this Committee to prepare the annual 
reports of the Bureau. 
9. Research and Development.—In this instance, the main objects 
will be the improving of current processes as well as the introduction of 
new ones. On application, an expert or group of experts would be sent | 
to any part of. the Empire to carry out any particular research in co- 
operation with existing agencies there. 
3. Legal.—This Committee will collect complete information relative 
to the mining laws and practice of all parts of the Empire and other 
countries. 
4. General Purposes and Finance.—-This Committee will deal almost 
entirely with such questions as staff, office premises, and financial rela- 
tions with other institutions, such as what charge (if any) should be 
made for information supplied. 
The Bureau is in the first instance to be financed by the Imperial 
Parliament, but may receive any funds granted by the Legislature of 
any other part of the Empire. 
Oceasionally, and frequently, the exercise of the judg- 
ment ought to end in absolute reservation. We are not 
infallible, and so we ought to be cautious.
