FACING THE FACTS
Commenting on 1 lie tremendous progress in scientific research and the improvement in materials used in industry, Lord Weir, in an address recently, said that while they had these definite contributions toward greater productivity and more efficient and effective utilisation of file natural wealfh of the world, many industries —in fact, the entire industrial and social organisation—■ were in difficulties to maintain a specific standard of life. Did not this suggest that political and economic development required a little more of the scientists’ formula — less dogma and more honest acceptance of facts He thought he was right in saying that dogma in the past had been the greatest barrier to scientific progress. It had been no less harmful in the political world . Imagination and courage in science had invariably blazed the trail for further development and advancement, and in these respects lie thought the leaders of joolitical thought might well follow the lead of the scientists and face the inexorable facts of the economic situation in honesty and sincerity.
