TL;DR

A perusal of the report suggests that the progress of the research work pursued under the Medical Research Council suffered little, if at all, from the state of war expectancy, except for some readjustments towards the close of the Council's year.

Abstract

THE recently issued report of the Medical Research Council for the year October 1, 1938–September 30, 1939*, covers a period of some difficulty owing to the disturbed condition of world politics, culminating in the outbreak of war. Nevertheless, a perusal of the report suggests that the progress of the research work pursued under the Council suffered little, if at all, from the state of war expectancy, except for some readjustments towards the close of the Council's year.
