Mr. Creech JonesRegular contact is maintained with the Carville Leprosarium in the United States through the Chacachare Leprosarium in Trinidad and the British Empire Leprosy Relief Association. This association, which cooperates closely with the Colonial Office and with Colonial Governments, exchanges information about research on the treatment of leprosy with Leprosaria in various countries, both directly and through the medium of conferences. The next International Leprosy Congress is to be held in Cuba early in 1948.
