National security depends far more upon the total scientific potential than upon anything else. To attain this end there must be free flow of unclassified scientific and technological information. Scientists should have ample scope and facilities to move about freely and come in contact with the eminent scientists in different parts of the world. The authorities in power should endeavour to afford at least the minimum facilities and encourage the free movement of scientists and exchange of their ideas with scientists of reputation working in similar fields in other parts of the world. This aspect of international security is slowly gaining importance and it is hoped that time is not far off when the scientists will contribute a mighty share towards international plenty, security and prosperity.
