the 13th November, 1944 relative to the 7th
Conference of the Afghan-Soviet Anti-Locust and
Anti-Pest Commission, I have to inform you that
the following resolution dealing with internation
al co-operation in- campaigns against the Desert
Locust was adopted by a conference recently
convened at Cairo by the Government of Egypt in
conjunction with the Middle East Supply Centre
and attended by technical representatives of
the Governments of Egypt, India, Iran, Iraq,
Lebanon, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria,
Trans-Jordan, Tripolitania and Cyrenaica,
Turkey, the U. S. S. R. and the United Kingdom:-
’’The Conference being impressed by the
benefits of international co-operation
during the war period considers it essential
that steps should be taken at an early date
to prepare a practical scheme for establish
ing a permanent international organisation
for the prevention of outbreaks of the
Desert Locust'’.
2. It has been apparent to His Majesty’s
Government in the United Kingdom for some time
that the comparative degree of success obtained
by present arrangements for the co-ordination
of campaigns against the Desert Locust in the
Middle East and Eastern Africa points the way
to the establishment on a permanent basis of
some international scheme for the purpose. .-*t
ime it will be app that
present arrangements had their origin in purely
temporary and war-time exigencies, particularly
onnected with the urgent necessity of saving
