Blackett CSAC 63/1/79 \ SECTION E POLITICAL ACTIVITIES E.1 - E.76 The papers in this Section fall into two groups. There is a relatively small amount of material relating to the Association of Scientific Workers, with which Blackett had a long connection and of which he was President 1943-47. The bulk of the material consists of papers relating to the work of discussion groups in the Labour Party which met under various names and sponsors with the aim of preparing a policy for science and technology to be implemented under a future Labour Government, and in particular to the development of the idea of a Ministry of Technology which was instituted after the Party's victory in the General Election of October 1964. A considerable amount of duplicated or typescript reports, research and dis- cussion papers and similar documents, circulated to Blackett by the Labour Party or other groups, or by individuals, remains in the folders. Blackett drew upon it as recorded in the collection. Reference should also be made to Section F, in particular to F.26 - F.38 (The Trend Committee), and to lectures and writings in formation of the Ministry of Technology. as background material at various times for his own papers, and it is alsoa record Although all the material in this Section is concerned with political activity, of activity in one aspect of the preparation for the 1964 General Election and the it by no means represents the whole of Blackett's involvement in political matters Sections G. and H. P.M.S. Blackett CSAC 63/1/79 Section E - Political Activities The material is presented in the following sub-sections, though there is inevitably some degree of overlap.

Blackett CSAC 63/1/79 Section E - Political Activities E.4-§.23 ASSOCIATION OF SCIENTIFIC WORKERS (A.Sc.W.) Blackett became a Vice-President of the Association in 1939 and served as its President from 1943 to 1947. During his term as President, Blackett delivered numerous lectures relating to the work of the Association in which he stressed the need for scientists to play a larger role in post-war economic and political affairs. He also called for closer links between scientists and the organised trade union movement. To this end, he sponsored a resolu- tion at the 1945 T.U.C. that a scientific advisory committee should be established; Blackett was one of the three A.Sc.W. representatives on the first committee, which was formed in 1946. In addition to the lectures and publications, the papers also include 2 chronological sets of correspondence, 1939-48 and 1963-67, and one folder of printed matter re the Association. See also F.11. Includes: Be: One folder of early correspondence and papers re A.Sc.W. 1939-48 Letter from secretary, Mrs. R.

The meetings were organised and hosted by J.R.M. Brumwell, who also acted as secretary. When the group began meeting in July 1956, H. Gaitskell was the Leader of the Labour Party and attended the meetings. Later he was rep- resented by H. Wilson. Even after Wilson succeeded Gaitskell as Leader, Blackett continued to refer to it as the 'Gaitskell Group’, and this description has been used in the entries. In 1959 a set of ‘Cabinet Papers' was prepared for Gaitskell (see E.27 and E.28). Blackett often used or commented on these papers during the next several years - see especially E.39 and E.54. In July 1963 another set of ‘Cabinet Papers' was prepared, this time for H. Wilson and R.H.S. Crossman. See E.41, E.44, E.45, and E.50 for copies of, or comments on these papers. The composition of the group varied over the years but it included on activities. After Crossman became Shadow Minister for Education, he initiated more official conferences, several of which were held in the Bonnington Hotel, London. and one of its most senior scientists. The note sent along with the letter to R.H.S. Crossman, J.D. Bernal, J. Bronowski, G. Dickson, R.G. Forrester, and G. Mitchison. Blackett was a senior member of the group from its inception D.

Cousins. Blackett became Deputy Chairman of the Advisory Council on Technology and Scientific Adviser to the Ministry. This gave him at the time ‘immense power' (Lovell, Memoir, p.80), but he had also had an important say in the formation of the Ministry, through many writings and discussions and through his close relations with H. Wilson and R.H.S. Crossman. He wrote himself of his paper 'The case for a Ministry of Technology’ (E.49): 'I believe that this memorandum had considerable influence in the setting is of the Ministry of Technology soon after the General Election of 1964'. The folders E.48-E.65 contain various writings, reports and correspondence relating to this period. Reference shou!d also be made to F.26-F.38 (The Trend Committee) since Blackett used much of the material and ideas contributed by scientific colleagues for the Royal Society's submission to the Trend Committee in the formation of his plans for the organisation of science and technology at ministerial level. science and government.

Blackett CSAC 63/1/79 Section F - Science-related interests F.9-F.51 SCIENCE, EDUCATION AND GOVERNMENT _ 1944-70 The topics covered here include university expansion (especially in science and technology); student intake, intelligence quotient, economic background and achievement; the financing and organisation of science and its relations with government. Blackett's interest in these topics developed during the war and his service on the Barlow Committee (F.9 - F.14). The items below fall into 2 main periods of activity: at Manchester c.1945-51, and 1962-68 when formulation of ideas was encouraged both by the preparation for the 1964 General Election and by the institution of the Trend Committee. Many lectures and writings here and in Section H and his pressure on Labour Party leaders to devise a policy for government involvement with science and technology (see Section E) scientists and engineers (referred to passim in his notes on QSEs), and the organisation of science both nationally and internationally were frequently referred to in his Anniversary Addresses as President of the Royal Society and formed the main theme of the 1969 Address (R.S.119, see F.49 - F.51). Unfortunately, no manuscripts remain related to Blackett's long service but F.23 - F.25 show his concern with the organisation and financing of science asa member of the Council of the Department of Scientific and testify to Blackett's lifelong commitment to these matters.

Blackett CSAC 63/1/79 SECTION G OVERSEAS ACTIVITIES G.1 - G.126 This Section comprises material relating specifically to India (G.1 - G.55), and that concerned with matters more generally affecting developing countries (G.56 - G.126). The items under ‘Visits and Conferences’ include some wholly scientific meetings, but mainly refer to conferences on international co-operation, overseas aid, etc. Blackett's involvement in India, from which sprang his general concern with the problems of developing countries, had a double origin. Through his researches on cosmic rays, he had become acquainted with Homi Bhabha, whose research establish~ ments, and those of other scientific colleagues, he visited for lectures, conferences and discussions and whose plans - especially for atomic energy research in India - he encouraged (see his correspondence with Bhabha in G.33). Secondly, his visit to India for the Indian Science Congress Association in 1947, and his consequent meeting with Nehru, led to his reports and advice to the Government of India on military and defence matters, using the technique of Operational Research developed in wartime period, and for recollections of Nehru. These two interests, fostered by frequent visits to India, encouraged a broaden- wealth, overseas aid, population control and the like. In this later work, India re- mained the principal, though not the exclusive, example of the disparity between developed and undeveloped countries in Blackett's thinking. Blackett's lasting sense of personal commitment to India can be seen from ing of Blackett's concern to include problems of economic growth, distribution of (see D.83 - D.125). See especially G.1 - G.6, G.23, G.29 for material on this G.23 - G.31, a folder probably made up in 1972, containing a list of his visits to presence and advice were valued. but reference to India is frequently made in lectures and writings in other sections of material, intended as part of a book or section of collected writings devoted to the India and his own collection of his earlier writings, together with some new linking the collection, some of which were indeed given there. Repeated invitations in the It will be seen that relatively little material survives for the period c. 1955-70, correspondence for Blackett to visit, lecture or tour in India show how greatly his problems of India.

It includes correspondence, travel arrangements, manuscripts or notes for lectures, papers, broadcasts, publications, etc. This Section contains all surviving records of Blackett's attendance at international conferences, and of his foreign tours (see G.23 - G.3]1 for visits to India). though it is clear that many other journeys were made and have left no documented evidence. G.85 - G.91 is of interest in recording Blackett's view of the episode in 1945 when he and other eminent British scientists were refused visas to visit Russia (see the note to these items). The majority of the visits referred to in this Section were concerned with international co-operation, aid to developing countries, disarmament, etc. P.M.S. Blackett CSAC 63/1/79 Section G - Overseas activities G.85-G.91 Proposed visit to Russia June 1945 The visit was for the celebration of the 220th Anniversary of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
