SCIENTIFIC WORKERS
Pledged To War Effort
BRITAIN & NEW ZEALAND EXCHANGE GREETINGS
Never in the history of man has science played so important a part in the conduct of war, and though the activities of scientists are rarely recorded in the news, occasional references in official communiques hint at the all-important contributions of science to the war effort. In Britain, and throughout the Empire, large numbers of scientists are engaged on war work, which, by its nature, must be kept secret, but it is known that many discoveries of far-reaching importance have been made. When peace returns, and the full story of scientific wartime research is told, many amazing revelations will be made. Scientists throughout the British Commonwealth of Nations are working in close co-operation and planning for great advances after the war. Almost simultaneously with the announcement " of the opening of the second front, the New Zealand Association of Scientific Workers received the following cablegram from London:—
“Annual Council Association of Scientific Workers of Great Britain sends fraternal greetings to the New Zealand Association of Scientific Workers on eve of second front. » We pledge our best efforts toward victory over Fascism and we hope soon to be working with you for reconstruction of devastated countries and promotion of democratically planned science for the benefit of all peoples.” The following cable was sent in reply: “New Zealand Association of Scientific Workers reciprocates fraternal greetings of British association. We pledge ourselves, with you, toward complete victory in this war and recognition by the people of science as the basis of society.”
