REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS 



The committee on resolutions submits the following: 



Resolved, That the American Association of Economic Entomologists hereby 

 expresses its appreciation of the courtesies extended by the local committee 

 on arrangements, the Cambridge Entomological Club, and the Corporation 

 of Harvard University. 



Resolved, That the thanks of the Association be tendered to the editorial 

 management of the Journal of Economic Entomology for the excellent stand- 

 ard which they have maintained for the official organ of this Association. 



Resolved, That we again declare our conviction that the control of the 

 Gypsy Moth and the Brown-tail Moth in New England is an economic prob- 

 lem of the first magnitude, and of the most vital importance to the entire 

 country. Furthermore, we would emphasize the importance of the several 

 New England States and the United States Department of Agriculture 

 continuing with undiminished vigor the policies so ably prosecuted during 

 the past few years. 



Resolved, That this Association urges upon Congress the necessity of legis- 

 lation to provide for inspection to prevent the introduction of dangerous 

 insects and plant diseases, and we recommend that this Association appoint 

 as a committee Messrs. Symons, Worsham and Atwood to represent it in 

 furthering such legislation. 



Resolved, That we again endorse the bill now before Congress for the con- 

 trol of the purity of insecticides and fungicides (H. R. 2218).
