22 NOVEMBER 1946, Page 17

A NUMERICAL SLIP

sm,—I must apologise that owing to a typing error in the draft of my article in your issue of November 15th, the figure giving the appropriation for scientific purposes from the Soviet budget for 1946 was given at five million roubles. This should, of course, have been five thousand million roubles.

Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused.—Yours truly,

RICHARD CHANCELLOR.
