NEW ERA
SMUTS AND HITLER BOGEY
GLORIOUS VISTO OF FUTURE "
"Seiencc is the greatest torch tvhich the spirit of man ha.s kindled in the modern world, and nothing—• not even in this dark hour of our civilisation—should he allowed to interrupt its kindly light. In fun'damental respects, Hitler's New Order is a return to the old slavery, with the Gestapo added. In particular, the proud position of science is challenged. It is abused and degraded till it has become no better than propaganda, for myths .and beliefs long since discarded. With our victory, science will not be merely reinstated, but a new era will open for her. Victory will not only preserve what science has achieved in the pftst, but will open up a glorious vista of advance for the future" —Field-Marshal Smuts in a radio message to the British Association for the Advancement of Science.
