SCIENCE IN PEACE AND WAR*

Nature volume 150, pages 310–311 (1942)Cite this article

Abstract

IN every sense this is a scientific war. On the A fighting fronts, precisely built machines of defence destruction are manned by men expertly trained and laboriously supplied. On the home fronts production, transport and world economic strategy are the prime concern. Backing up this gigantic war effort are knowledge, thought, planning and research. Of particular importance is the scientific research, not just of to-day but of past years.
