Abstract
THE investigations on the locust problem in Africa and Western Asia, organised since 1929 by the Economic Advisory Council, have developed from the beginning on an international scale, for it was considered as hopeless to study the locust problem on a narrow territorial basis. This point of view proved acceptable to other Governments, and in 1931 the First International Locust Conference was called in Rome, where re presentatives of three countries (Great Britain, France and Italy) accepted a common policy for the investigation of the problem, and designated the Imperial Institute of Entomology in London as the international centre for anti-locust research. The second Conference took place in 1932 in Paris, where nine countries were represented, and further arrangements were made to ensure better co operation in the study of the problem.
