RADIO FIELD
Britain Ahead Of Enemy (6.30 p.m.l LONDON, April 10. A brilliant team of scientific workers has kept Britain ahead of the enemy in the vital radio field of war. Sir Stafford Cripps told a convention of university radio teachers. Sir Stafford Cripps emphasised the need for high technical education in post-war Britain. The degree to which skilled scientists and technicians would be necessary- in every walk of life would be very different from that demanded in the immediate pre-war years. The percentage of highly skilled persons in both the radio and aircraft industries would be much greater, and if Britain was to make her full contribution to world production and progress she would have to provide a far greater output of university trained scientists than she had ever yet done. Sir Stafford Cripps said the United States was spending five to six times as much on university students as Britain. If Britain wanted to survive in the modern world she must produce far more university trained men and women.
