Description | As Chairman of the International Conference on Sleeping Sickness, he invites the Royal Society to nominate a representative. Fitzmaurice explains the purpose of the conference in seeking common policy and measures for areas infected with the disease. The conference will divide into two sub-committees, one adminstrative and one medical. He suggests that Dr. Rose Bradford might represent the Royal Society, since he already serves on the Advisory Committee for the Tropical Diseases Research Fund sitting at the Colonial Office, and on the sub-committee seeking practical measures against sleeping sickness in Uganda. |
