GREAT TORCH

SCIENCE AND THE FUTURE

“Science is the greatest torch which the spirit of man has kindled in the modern world, and nothing not even in this dark hour of our. civilisationshould be allowed to interrupt its kindly light,” said Field-Marshal Smuts in a message to the British Association for the Advancement of Science. "In fundamental 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 until it has become no better than propaganda for myths and beliefs . long since discarded. With our victory science will be not merely reinstated, but a new era will open for her. Victory will not only . preserve what science has achieved in the past, but will open up a glorious vista of advance for the future.”
