READERS can be forgiven if they have thought, from time to time, that we are anti‐union. This is not true, although we admit to thinking that they have for a long time forgotten their prime reason for existence — to fight for human rights for their members against what were, in days long gone by, very inhuman employers.

Abstract
Work on oxidation of metals at N.P.L. has been devoted largely to an investigation of the mechanism of breakaway oxidation of iron‐chromium alloys. Much research on oxidation has been based on the view that alloying additions can improve protection either by modifying the defect structure of the oxide so as to slow down the diffusion processes involved in oxide growth, or by forming a different and more protective oxide by selective oxidation so that a small alloying addition serves to ensure protection. Unfortunately, however, the protective films are liable to fail after a certain period, leading to a large and possibly catastrophic increase in rates of oxidation. The causes of this change are complex, but may include build‐up of stress in the growing oxide, changes in diffusion mechanism, and nucleation of new phases. It was decided to concentrate attention at N.P.L. on this loss of protective action for the following reasons:

Abstract
Investigates the differences in protocols between arbitral tribunals and courts, with particular emphasis on US, Greek and English law. Gives examples of each country and its way of using the law in specific circumstances, and shows the variations therein. Sums up that arbitration is much the better way to gok as it avoids delays and expenses, plus the vexation/frustration of normal litigation. Concludes that the US and Greek constitutions and common law tradition in England appear to allow involved parties to choose their own judge, who can thus be an arbitrator. Discusses e‐commerce and speculates on this for the future.

Abstract
There is a wide range of opinion as to the purpose for which chemical abstracts are prepared, varying from the view that they should be little more than a record of the title, author and reference, to that which vaguely hopes that they will contain ‘everything of importance’ from the original communication, and in some way, thereby, save the reader the trouble of consulting that original. There is an element of justification for both views, and it is of value to define the purpose of the chemical abstract in some detail.
