SEMAINE D'ÉTUDE SUR LE ROLE DE L ANALYSE ECONOMETRIQUE ETC. 110, which would suddenly change the whole structure of society to make it fit for rapid development of science and economic progress. The other alternative is deliberately to build up the foundation of science-oriented education and research to pro- mote the modernisation of society in a peaceful way, and make conditions favourable for economic development. 7-4. Aid for scientific and economic development from either the western or the eastern countries, even when given in a spirit of competition, would be cooperative in effect. In any event, competition in constructive tasks of building up scientific foun- dations in developing countries is less dangerous and is likely to be far more useful than competition in the methodologies of warfare. Also, collaboration in promoting education and research in pure science can be pursued without any threat t0 national security or national interests, and would be of great help in promoting a rapid advance of the underdeveloped coun- tries and in fostering better understanding among the nations of the world.

Blackett in his presidential address to the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1957 and in other articles in Nature, (3 February, 1962; May 1962 etc.) has considered various pro- blems from the point of view of the advanced countries. Professor Stevan Dedijer made a penetrating analysis in article in Nature (6 August, 1960) and in another article published recentlv in Stockholm, TVF, 22, (1962) 14] Mahalanobis I - pag. 33
