SCIENCE IN INDUSTRY.
> NEW ZEALAND LAGGING.
* (Per Press Association.) ' \ WELLINGTON, April 27
Speaking of the place of scientists in Industry, Mr Wright, chemist to the Research Department, said that he had; many opportunities of seeing at close quarters the functioning of various research institutions in England. It was evident that England had learned a great lesson since the war in the application of scientific research to industry, especially in steels, dyes and chemicals. Industries less enlightened included coal which still regarded the. chemist with a certain amount of distrust. Germany and the United 'States) were doing well to improve their positions in the world competition for trade by the use of scientific methods. In Australia he was much impressed by the fact that the Government had already expended a. very large sum in! the first' year of research work, and this would he exceeded in the second year. The members of the Australian executive were brilliant men and enjoyed the confidence of the Government, politicians, manufacturers and the public of Australia. New Zealand seemed to be doing very little, but he had no doubt that big events were pending.
