Science and the War Effort | Nature

ABSTRACT SOON after the present Government took office, the Minister of Supply, Mr. Herbert Morrison, made a powerful appeal for intensification of effort in the production of munitions and

other commodities, in the course of which he used a phrase, “Go to it”, that has already become a slogan. He asked for speeding up of manufacturing processes, the over-riding of trade

customs and the hard-won privileges of the trade unions, and in general the subordination of everyone and everything to the supreme task of winning the War. The military disaster in France

has accentuated our need. From now on, Great Britain is the immediate target, and the need for munitions to replace losses in France, as well as to provide for the needs of the future,

should require no emphasis. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your
