LEAGUE OF NATIONS’ HEALTH ACTIVITIES
ABUSE OF ALCOHOL SUGGESTED FOR INQUIRY [ Australian Press Assn. ] GENEVA. Sept. 14. The Technical Organisations Committee decided to recommend the League health organisations to collect information throughout the world regarding the abuse of alcohol. All the delegations supported the resolutions on the express understanding that investigation was comfined to the health aspect and did not refer to wine, beer or cider.
The Indian and Japanese delegates paid a striking tribute to the League’s health activities in the East. Mr Malik (India) stated that deaths of children under one year of age from malaria ranged from 300 in Bengal to 823 in the 1000 in Bombay. India was intensely interested therefore in the League’s investigations into malaria, cholera, etc.
