INDUSTRIAL BRITAIN
SOLID DETERMINATION
(By Telegraph.) (Special to the "Evening Post.")
DUNEDIN, • This Day
After two years in Bristol engaged in research in physical chemistry under Professor Garner, a leading English authority on the decomposition of solids, Dr. F. R. Meldrum, of Dunedin, joined up with the 1.C.1. Company and toured Britain's factories, training for work in Australia. For. some time he was employed at Ministry of Supply base factories in England and Scotland, being absorbed into this phase of war activity a few days before the outbreak of hostilities.
Particularly in the industrial areas the people of Britain were quite determined over the war, said Professor Meldrum, who is visiting Dunedin befrre leaving for Australia. -They,had thought it was inevitable, - though in London certain clashes did not have the same opinion. The industrial districts were definitely solid behind the pursuance of the war. There were no murmurs against conscription. The factories were working day and night in Britain. The general opinion was that the war would not be short, and all production was going forward on a three years' basis.
