His lecture will be based on the paper he delivered recently before the British Association for the Advancement of Science on the sub- ject of the “World Brain.” * Mr, Wells believes there is danger of a new world war, which can be deferred or even prevented by world- wide education, not necessarily of the pacifist type, but which will enable the average person to understand and appreciate fully the folly and waste of war. He believes that world scientific advancement, increasing interdepend- ence of the peoples of the world and the abolition of distance are factors which will make world co-operation and co-ordination inevitable, He feels that we must reshape human affairs if we do not wish disaster to over- take us.
