In untold number are severely incapacitated or sucourab from untreated congenital or acquired infections. Syphilis contributes significantly to the individual and social misery and to important econ<»iic losses of nations in industry and agriculture. The yearly cost in labour lost due to syphilis is estimated to be more than 100 million dollars in the US (1940). In other regions .of the world where syphilis is known to be highly prevalent and where only rudimentary VD services exist the cos、 is inestimable. The initiation of VD control work in such regions should be one of the primary objectives in the WHO action programmes. An epidemiological viewpoint should Ы applied and the problem should be approached in terms of population groups as well as the individual • The Committee notes with satisfaction that such a public health approach was endorsed both by the Interim Commission and the Health Assembly and that the international venereal disease programe of the HÏHO should pay particular attention to early syphilis;, gonorrhea, chancroid, lyinpho granuloma vene re um, . and granuloma ingii'nale being considered in order of relative, importance arid where special geogra- phical or racial considerations are concerned or in the spread of disease from country to country.

    INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATURE 1948 IUCN 1948 001 For Reference Do Not Take From the Library ms INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATURE ESTABLISHED AT FONTAINEBLEAU 5 OCTOBER 1948 to Library CH-1196 Gland RUE MONTOYER. 42, BRUSSELS (BELGIUM) Imprimerie M. HAYEZ, Bruxelles — m, rue de Louvain, ni — Dom. légal : r. de la Chancellerie. 4 FOREWORD The delegates assembled at Fontainebleau do not claim to have inaugurated International Nature Protection. The idea has been in being for a long time, and I think I shall not be blamed if I mention here only the name of Paul Sarasin, the great Swiss pioneer. He was able to create in his own country a genuine movement in favour of the protection of natural resources and amenities and was the founder of the Swiss National Park. A far-sighted scientist, he soon realized the uselessness of scattered effort, and saw how urgent it was to concentrate this by achieving an international agreement to unify the various existing laws and co-ordinate the widespread national measures taken to preserve fauna and flora menaced by man's so-called civilization. In 1913 Paul Sarasin managed to establish a diplomatic instrument signed in Bern by a certain number of States, and later gaining the adherence of more Governments. The 1914 war seriously hampered the activities of the « Advisory Commission » thus created, and the enterprise had no active sequence. Immediately after the war, in 1918, an effort was made to reconstitute the Commission, but other and more urgent matters claimed public attention. However, the seed was sown on favourable ground and might be expected to sprout in time.

Alive and Kicking: The Kashmir Dispute Forty Years Later I. Introduction The Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan involves a struggle between two powers for the possession of a tract of territory which each wants for its own valid reasons. The stakes are of major economic, political and strategic significance to Pakistan, while to India, Kashmir has become a symbol of national prestige and inter- national justice.1 Charges of aggression and violations of interna- tional law have been asserted by both parties. In considering a solu- tion to the Kashmir dispute, it is necessary to look beyond the blatant facts and see the elements that gave rise to the dispute and the circumstances under which it occurred. A purely legalistic approach never solves large political problems. With this in mind, this Comment begins with an examina- tion of the roots of the conflict: Kashmir's economy, geography, predominantly Moslem population and Hindu ruler.

DODD Deputy Director -General: SIR HERBERT BROADLEY TF:r STATE OF FOOD !D AGRICULTURE-1943 A Survey of World Conditions and Prospects FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Washington, D. C., U.S.A. September 1948 FOREWORD HE STATE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE, 1948 has been prepared at the request of member governments as a basic document for the intergovernmental consultations on plans and programs at the Fourth Session of the FAO Conference in November; but it is also addressed to the general public. The world still suffers from a shortage of food, fibers, and forest products, even if the situation may become less acute in the current year.Hence, itis important to ascertain to what extent governments have programs which will put an end to scarcities within a reasonable time and go on to provide a more adequate level of supplies, par- ticularly in the low-incorne countries. From the information available to FAO, I am convinced of two things: first, much more is being done to expand production around the world than is generally realized (and another Conference document, National Pro g- ress in Food and Agriculture Programs, will illustrate this); second, what is being done, although so noteworthy, isfar from sufficient to make any significant improvement upon the low living standards of most peoples.
