diced opinions as to their relative values may be obtained from 

 friends and colleagues among the federal and state officials 

 present. 



Uniform rules and regulations for the inspection and testing 

 of live stock in interstate traffic as well as for methods of deal- 

 ing with outbreaks of infectious diseases in general and with 

 bovine tuberculosis in special are among the other subjects of 

 interest to this Territory which will come up for discussion. 



An effort to induce the chief of the Bureau of Animal Indus- 

 try or one of his divisional chiefs to visit this Territory in per- 

 son, and preferably as soon as the Oakland convention has ad- 

 journed, is already under way and will, if successful, be of value 

 to the various branches of the local live stock industry not alone 

 on account of the expert advice and suggestions he may be able 

 to offer, but also in imparting to an influential federal official an 

 opportunity for personal observations on live stock conditions in 

 this isolated island possession of the United States and its abil- 

 ity to care for itself under possible future world complications.
