SCIENTIFIC WORK
FALLING=OFF IN GERMANY UNDER NAZI RULE. PROGRESSIVE DEGENERATION. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, October 21. Commenting on a deterioration of the German scientific output due to the application of Nazi doctrines ini German scientific output due to the application of Nazi doctrines in Germany, Sir Thomas Holland, vice-chan-cellor of Edinburgh University and famous mineralogist, said that during the last six years the scientific workers in German universities had turned out from their research laboratories a gradually diminishing stream of material. Six or seven years ago no scientific man in the world would dare to pass oyer the publications of the research institutes in Germany, but today the volume of output had diminished to a small fragment of its former size, and the quality of the residue was negligible. One could predict quite clearly that the neglect of fundamental research in science and of the search for truth for its own sake must be followed by. a degeneration in technical efficiency. That certainly would be followed by a degeneration in military efficiency.
