Abstract: FAO CouncilThe Council of FAO held its ninth session in Rome, Italy, from May 8 to 18, 1950. Financial and administrative arrangements for transferring the headquarters of the organization from Washington to Rome were made, and the need for stronger financial support was brought to the attention of the members. The Council considered the report of the Committee on Commodities, established by the Conference at its fifth meeting. It was unanimously agreed to continue the work of this body and Italy was chosen to replace Poland on the committee, following receipt by the Council of Poland's withdrawal from the organization. Measures taken by FAO preparatory to undertaking its share in the technical assistance program were approved. The Council reported little change in the over-all food situation since the fall of 1949; food production in the world was steadily rising, although in areas of acute shortage, little change was noted. The sixth Conference of the organization was scheduled to meet on November 6, in Washington.
