DEBT TO SCIENCE
AIR MINISTRY WORK RUGBY, Dec. 1. The debt which the Air Ministry owes to science was commented or. by the Air Minister (Sir Kingsley Wood), at the 267th. anniversary dinner of the Royal Society. He said that the Ministry was proud to know that no fewer tnan 44 Fellows of the society were members of committees appointed by the Ministry or in which the Ministry was closely interested. The scientific staff at the Air Miniistry had been trebled in the last two or three years, and there were still vacancies to be filled. It was almost impossible to estimate what scientists and research workers might achieve in relation to the menace of the air to-day. One of the greatest contributions to the peace and happiness of mankind would be the conquest of the bombing aeroplane and he did not despair of that being achieved.
