Description | Discusses the future of meteorological research, regarding the change in the Directorship of the Meteorological Office. Thinks that the Director should be a scientific man of high standing, and hopes that the Air Ministry will consult with the Royal Society before appointing the Director. Thinks that when the Meteorological Office did not form a part of any one Government Department, that system offered greater security for research than one where the ultimate control rests with only one Department of State. |
