Sir Lawrence Weaver: "In co-operation with Professor Johannsen 

 and others, I have drawn up two resolutions each in 2 parts to form the 

 basis for the afternoons discussion. It is important to have closer relation- 

 ship than a meeting every 3 years. I propose: 



1. That an association of official seed-analysts and seed control organisations 

 of Europe be formed. 



2. That a committee consisting of Dr. Volkart, Mr. Bruijning and Mr. 

 Dorph-Petersen consider the constitution of the association, rules of 

 its membership and work, and circulate their recommendations to the 

 members of this conference. 



Mr. Clark has suggested that an international society be formed now, 

 but I think this cannot be decided at once. It is better tp appoint a 

 committee to bring up points to lay before the various stations. There 

 are many questions for discussion, such as membership. What language 

 shall be used &c. ? 



This European Association can eventually join up with the American 

 Association forming a world-wide association." ^
