SCIENTISTS’ WORK
BROADER OUTLOOK URGED. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, September 24. The Rev. Percy Dearmer, preaching at Westminster Abbey, urged a broader scientific outlook. It was immoral for scientists to say they were unable to cease inventing the most efficient explosives and poison gas, he said. They should work for international peace and maintain a standard of scientific ethics. Both scientists and the churches suffered from a sectarian narrow outlook. Mr Dearmer endorsed the British Association president’s suggestion of a Solomon’s house where specialists could serve humanity by religiously combining their powers in relation to science, art and ethics.
