The President then called for the continuation of the Report 

 of the Executive Committee, and K. Jordan resumed : 



The Section on Economic and Pathologic Entomology ap- 

 pointed on Wednesday a Committee for the purpose of considering 

 and drawing up a Resolution on the formation of an International 

 Commission on Insect Pests. The Resolution was proposed in 

 Committee by Dr. Gordon Hewitt, seconded by Sir Daniel 

 Morris,- and carried unanimously. It was submitted to the 

 adjourned meeting of the Section on Thursday morning, and on 

 the motion of Dr. L. O. Howard, seconded by Mr. F. A. Lowe, 

 passed unanimously. The Resolution is as follows : 



That this Congress, after a discussion of the various 

 problems incident to the prevention of the spread of insect 

 pests from one country to another, cordially supports the 

 proposed formation by the International Institute of Agri- 

 culture of an International Commission to deal with these 

 problems, in the firm belief that international action is the 

 best means by which the greatest amount of protection 

 can be secured with the least injury to international trade 

 in natural products : that a copy of this Resolution be for- 

 warded to the President of the International Institute of 

 Agriculture in Rome.
