CUMMING TO SERVE
ASA|DE TO LEAGUE
Will Act as intermediary at
World Dairy Congress
Here in October.

An example of the tangled state of
world relationships was furnished
yesterday in an announcement by the
Worlds Dairy Congress that Surgeon
General Hugh S. Cumming of the
United States public health service
would act as an intermediary between
/ the congress and committee of tn.
league of nations at the dairy con-
vention here in October.
DIR. Cumming, while not a regular
member of the health committee of
the league, which asked him to act
as its intermediary, has served the
organization before in an advisory
capacity. AT his office yesterday il
was explained that he would attend
the dairy congress as representative
of the United States government and.
that although he would be able to
establish a "liaison'' between the
health committee and the congress.
he would in no circumstance be the
leagues official delegate.
The announcement by the dairy
congress said DR.. Ludwik Rajchman.
medical director of the leagues
health committee, and DR.. Cumming
had attended d meeting of the com
mittee in Paris which considered the
question of aiding the dairy congress
movement. In a letter from Dr.
Rajchman, given out here, he said:
1.-THE committee noted the council
resolution of April 19, 1923, and d
memorandum from the president Of
the Worlds Dairy Congress and de
cided to ask DR.. Cumming, surgeon
general Of the Unitedl States public
health service, to agree to act as an
intermediary between that congress
and the committee. DIR. Cumming
having agreed, the committee decided
that the communication from experts
obtained through it's members should
be sent either to DR.. Cumming direct
or to the health section of the secre-
