Gravity Of Problem

Since my arrival here I have seen and heard enough to make me appreciate the gravity of this nutrition problem, as did my predecessors.

As a proof of the interest that the Government of this Colony has--attached for "some time to: this problem, Sir Andrew Calde- colt appointed the Nutrition Re- search Committee nearly four years ago, and Sir Geoffry North- cote-deeply concerned always in the welfare of his people-went further and considerably enlarg- ed the membership of the com- mittee and appointed the Direc- tor of Medical Services as its Chairman.

The Nutrition · Research Com- mittee has already made an im- portant contribution to the pro- blem as a result of its investiga- tions. It has a wide field to work on--all the hospitals and institutions under the control of the Government Medical De- partment and in addition all the Refugee Camps under Govern- ment control, from which most useful data has been provided for experiments in economic nutri- tion.

Ignorance Of Essentials

One of the aims of the Nutri- tion Research Committee is to disseminate the results of their I believe investigations, for malnutrition is not invariably the result of mere inability to buy the essentials of life, so much as of ignorance of what these essen- tials, really, are. I have scen in hospitals here some grounds for believing that this is very definite- ly the case. ;

The flm that we are going to see this morning is part of this system of the dissemination of instruction on this question. The film is based on English condi tions, but mutatis mutandis should provide data not only interesting but useful for application to our local problems.

At least. I hope it may help to impress on all here to-day, the real necessity for, comprehension of the problem of malnutrition and of the necessity for reinforc- ing in every way' possible the efforts which the Hong Kong Government is, taking to combat its effects.
