It is high time that the public should spare a
little of that interest which is focussed on the permutations of Empire Free Trade—in intervals of crime and cricket--to consider the invaluable work of the Imperial Institute. The Annual Report for 1929, by the Director, Lieut.-Gen. Sir William Furse, K.C.B., D.S.O., gives an excellent conspectus oi the latest achievements in scientific and industrial research in different parts of the Empire, and once more underlines the policy of co-ordination with the Empire Marketing Board. A concrete instance of this collaboration is the rele of the Institute as distributing agent for the Empire Marketing Board oL films lent to educational centres, Empire shopping weeks, and exhibitions. It ,would seem that the field Of research in industry is at a far more satisfactory level than that in salesmanship.
