International Refrigeration Conference at Paris. 



The vast trade in the world's supply of perishable foodstuffs 

 depends upon the adequate supply of cold storage accommodation. 

 The subject is a complex and far-reaching one, and one affecting the 

 well-being^ of many countries, whose interests in the matter are 

 identical. Accordingly the subject of refrigeration was taken up 

 internationally in 1908, when the Association Internationale du 

 Froid, a semi-official organization, was created. This association 

 performed a useful initial function, but was interrupted by the out- 

 break of war. In June, 1919, however, at the initiative of the French 

 (jovernment, the Governments, States, Dominions, and Colonies 

 entitled to immediate membership in the League of Nations were 

 invited to participate in an International Conference on Refrigera- 

 tion for the purpose of creating an international official organization 

 for the study of questions ou refrigeration in place of the association 

 formed in 1908. - 



The Conference was held in Paris on the 15th, 16th, and 17th 

 December, 1919. Thirty-eight vStates, Dominions, and Colonies 

 responded to the invitation of the French Government and sent 

 delegates to the Conference, at which a scheme was drafted for the 

 formation of an International Institute of Refrigeration under the 

 control and authority of a general Conference composed of represen- 

 tatives nominated by the participating Governments. The principal 

 objects of the Institute are : — 



1. To stimulate investigations into scientific, technical, and 

 industrial questions of international scope, relating to the 

 refrigerating industry. 



2. To examine measures respecting the best methods of conserva- 

 tion, transit, and distribution of perishable produce. 



3. To publish all information concerning the world's frozen food 

 situation, compiled from a triple standpoint : origin of production, 

 circulation, consumption.
