The conference, after considerable discussion, went on record in favor of a federa¬ 
tion and appointed an executive committee to draw up a constitution to be sub¬ 
mitted this winter at the annual meetings of societies represented in the federation 
conference. The report of this committee and the proposed constitution will be 
reported to this society by the Secretary and the Committee on Policy, together 
with the recommendation of the committee. 
Geo. A. Dean, 
Representative of the American Association of 
Economic Entomologists to the National Research Council 
Voted that the report be accepted. 
President J. G. Sanders: We will now hear the report of the Com¬ 
mittee on Policy. 
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON POLICY 
The Committee on Policy organized for the current year with the following Sub¬ 
committees: 
Education —Dr. Ball, Chairman; Dr. Osborn; Mr. Dean. 
Insect Control —Dr. Felt, Chairman; Mr. Burgess; Mr. O’Kane. 
Organization —Mr. O’Kane, Chairman; Mr. Sanders; Dr. Newell. 
Research —Mr. Parrott, Chairman; Dr. Ball; Dr. Osborn. 
Publication —Mr. Burgess, Chairman; Dr. Felt; Dr. Newell. 
The Committee recommends that the Association enters the Federation of 
American Biological Societies under the proposed Constitution for such Federation 
as published in Science Vol. LVI, p. 359-361, Sept. 29, 1922, and that the Association 
maintain the designated representation of two members in this Federation at nominal 
expense. These representatives to be nominated by the Committee on Nominations. 
The Insect Pest Survey is further commended by the committee, and greater 
cooperation on the part of all entomologists is urged. 
The Committee affirms again its belief in the policy of thorough, deliberate, well- 
organized cooperation among federal workers, those employed in the various states 
and those who occupy similar positions in the Dominion of Canada. All problems in 
entomology are, to some extent, common to the workers in these various groups. 
Some problems cannot possibly be solved satisfactorily except through deliberate 
cooperation. The Committee believes that there should be: 
(a) . Conferences on specific problems of importance, these to be attended by all 
entomologists directly interested, no matter in what group they belong. 
(b) . Definite programs agreed on at such conferences with a full understanding of 
the major duties devolving on the several participants. 
(c) . A joint committee or council named by the conference, impartially con¬ 
stituted, and charged with the duty of helping to correlate work on the problem in 
question. 
In the relations of industrial organizations to entomological work, the committee 
desires to express its confidence in the Crop Protection Institute. Experience is
