Abstract
THE report of the Anglo-American Caribbean Commission to the Governments of the United States and Great Britain for the years 1942–43, which has now been published*, leaves no room for doubt as to the successful start of this first attempt by Britain and the United States at joint control, and at the same time puts into a proper perspective that excessive concern regarding national sovereignty displayed in the statement issued in Washington with the joint communiqué announcing the creation of the Commission. The report itself is in three chapters, discussing in succession the organization of the Commission and the immediate and the long-term aspects of the Commission's programme, but is supported by the text of the joint communiqué of March 9, 1942, reports of the four meetings of the Commission of the Supply Officers' Conference, Jamaica, May 15–18, 1942, and of the Nutrition, Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Meeting in August 1943, which led to the creation of the Caribbean Research Council as an advisory body to the Commission. The objectives of this Council will be to survey needs, determine what research has been done, arrange for dissemination and exchange of the results of research, provide for conferences between research workers or extension workers, and make recommendations for further research and co-operation.
