Abstract
THERE is some risk that the letter under the above heading in NATURE of January 25 may create the incorrect impression that certain decisions were rashly taken by the 1934 International Conference on Vitamin Standardisation and that those responsible for these decisions are taking no steps to resolve the difficulties which have arisen. That there could be no intention to give this impression is clear from the fact that, of the three signatories to that letter, one was himself a member of the International Conference and a second was present as expert in an advisory capacity, while both are members of the Vitamin A Sub-Committee (of the Accessory Food Factors Committee, appointed by the Medical Research Council and Lister Institute) which is now attempting to deal in a constructive manner with problems which have arisen in connexion with the International Vitamin A Standard.
