Description | Surprised to learn of belief that the Royal Society some time ago refused to undertake to advise the government - no foundation for rumour - no mention of any such decision in Council minutes, 1940-1950 - should like to know of any factual evidence for the idea - hopes Maxwell will correct misconceptions - Royal Society welcomes opportunity to advise Government - hopes Conference went well - sorry not to come - had to go to Ditchley. |
