Abstract: At Anse Vata, Noumea the tenth session of the South Pacific Commission was held from October 6 to 16, 1952, under the chairmanship of G. R. Powles, Senior Commissioner for New Zealand. Four plenary meetings were held, and the Commission continued the method of work previously adopted. It considered the progress achieved in the execution of the current work program and the modifications and extensions recommended by the Research Council at its fourth meeting and adopted resolutions which: 1) approved the continuation in 1953 of the Epidemiological Information Service in conjunction with the South Pacific Health Service, 2) approved the continuation of the standard quarantine regulations and alimentation and nutrition projects; 3) approved the recommendation of the Research Council that a specialist for research on mosquito-borne diseases be engaged on a long-term basis to undertake surveys in the field where requested and investigations as recommended by the Filariasis Conference in entomology, epidemiology and control; 4) resolved that grants-in-aid be made available for plant introduction and quarantine stations in the south Pacific; 5) sought the approval of participating governments for a request to the Food and Agriculture Organization to co-sponsor with the Commission a technical meeting on rice of representatives of south Pacific territories; and 6) authorized grants-in-aid to assist pasture experiments within the region and the repetition of acclimatization and feeding experiments with dairy cattle in Fiji.
