Abstract
IT may be said at once with emphasis that British scientific instruments cannot be made in factories at the present wage-rates and under prevailing labour conditions at twice the pre-war prices if identical in quality and construction. Mr. Ogilvy discloses the same fact with regard to German instruments when he states in NATURE of June 3 that the wages rates of Germany are 400 per cent, hisrher than in 1914, and that working conditions are difficult in every way.
