Abstract
THE World Federation for Mental Health, formed at the time of the international congress in London last August, has now been officially recognized for consultative purposes by the two United Nations bodies–the World Health Organisation and Unesco. The president of the World Federation, Dr. J. R. Rees (Great Britain), has expressed the hope that this consultative arrangement will lead to a further recognition of the importance of mental health in efforts to establish a healthier and happier world society. Dr. Rees also announced that the Federation has accepted the invitation of Unesco to send an observer to its general conference which opened at Beirut on November 17. The Federation is being represented by Dr. M. K. el Kholy, of Egypt, the member for the African Continent on the Executive Board.
