W., WASHINGTON, D. C, U. S. A. FACTS ABOUT THE CONFERENCE A general conference on world problems of health conservation was called by the League of Red Cross Societies Committee at Cannes, France, in April, 1919. Delegates from five nations — England, France, Italy, Japan, United States—were present. The conference agreed that the combating of the venereal diseases Avas one of the great outstanding problems of the present century. The holding of regional conferences in various parts of the world to further the organization of practical programs for carrying out approved meas- ures was recommended. The All-America Conference is the first of these regional confer- ences and is limited to the venereal diseases as the most urgent of the disease-prevention campaigns to be promoted by this method. After due consideration, it was deemed best to preserve the unoffi- cial character of such conferences, but at the same time to secure official recognition. This Conference has therefore been called under the auspices of the United States Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board, the United States Public Health Service, the American Social Hygiene Association, and the American Red Cross, with the coopera- tion of equivalent federal and volunteer agencies in other countries of the Americas. Official recognition of the importance and timeli-1 ness of the Conference has been secured through the exchange of diplomatic notes between the respective governments of the partici- pating countries regarding the organization and purposes of the Conference. The expenses of the Conference have been met by appropriations of funds from the American Red Cross and the American Social Hygiene Association, the former being the national volunteer organi- zation representing general public interest and participation in health conservation activities, the latter being the national volunteer agency which includes among its activities the specific campaign against the venereal diseases. The purpose of the Conference is to review past efforts in this field and to make a pronouncement regarding the lines along which future activities should be directed. It is expected that the proceed- ings and the follow-up use which will be made of the findings of the Conference will stimulate concerted action among the nations partici- pating. Particularly it is expected that within each nation the sev- eral states or divisions of government will unite upon a common pro- gram of action. [2] CALENDAR OF THE CONFERENCE 1.
