SCIENCE TO AVERT DISASTER
Lord! Mclchett, speaking at the dinner of tin© Chemical Society in London, referred to the need for science stepping in to avert such tragedies as the City of Liverpool aeroplane disaster and the Mitcham factory explosion. “People say that science has invented Loo much,’’ ho said!, “but ono has only to look at two such catastophes to realise how much remains to bo invent* ed. There .is ample opportunity for chemistry to produce some kind of lion inflammable .fuel for tlic aeroplane, or, through the allied science of metallurgy, to .invent some light metal not so liable to fire. The same is true of tho terrible explosion at Mitcham, wliei‘o ono hopes that in due course science will invent a now method of overcoming tho danger of accidents to which wi© are sometimes subject today.” Lord Mclchett said that through tho inventions of chemistry wo had won our way from tho era of scarcity to the ora of plenty “which seems to be ruining us. Scientists Would put more people out of work than any Government could ever find work for. I am not afraid of tho inventions of the future, for I havo sufficient confidence that the intelligence which produced enough to product the solution. Nevertheless, there is not, a ;pniyorsity in tho world that lias a professor, whose business it is to study tho future.”
