Anti-Epidemic Units To Be Sent To Five Provinces Geneva, Oct. 16.
Details of a plan to help the Chinese Government in its' struggle against epidemics were adopted today by the Health sub-committee of the Committee for Technical Cooperation with China, The scheme follows proposals made by Mr. Hoo Chi-tsai, the Chinese representative, who asked that the Commission make a special effort in five areas, preferably in the provinces of Shanghai, Hopel, Kiangsu, Kiangsi and Kwangtung.
Mr. Hoo suggested that anti-epidemic units be sent to the provinces named without delay. Each unit, he said, should: consist of a foreign epidemic commissioner, a foreign bacteriologist, a foreign sanitary engineer, and an ' isolation hospital with a foreign doctor, a car, two ambulances and ten light lorries, Chinese chauffeurs and subordinate staff would be provided, unit should have a foreign be done, not pretending to achieve the impossible nor provoking the very consequences we wish most to avoid, "Through national unity," Mr. Eden ended, "we can and will succeed."

Foreign Secretary, he welcomed the progress of British rearmament, It was still his personal conviction that nations would have saved themselves much international strain and loss in their standard of life by arm limitation, and some day such limitation must be reached if the world was to be finally at peace, but meanwhile they had to deal with conditions not as they want them, but as they are—Reuter and Wireless.
