Minutes of the third meeting
Encloses, in reply to No. 145, a copy of n letter from the Board of Agriculture, stating that they see no objection to the Colonial Office proposal, but that, as the Commission on Phytopathology has fallen through, they do not expect that the General Assembly will be prepared to deal with the question of international action on plant disease, and they are accordingly not sending any specialist to Rome; asks whether it is still desired to send a repre sentative.
