A report which shows the activities
of the U. S. Public Health service in
preventing the introduction of dis
cases from abroad was recently for
warded to congress by Surgeon Cen
cral H. S. Cumming. This report in
dicates that no instance Of the i'm
portation of any quarantinable dis
ease occurred during the past fiscal
year. No cases of plague. cholera,
yellow fever or typhus fever arrived
at quarantine stations in the United
States. There were, however. ten in
stances during the year of bubonic
plague occurring on vessels arriving
at ports in foreign countries. The
preventive measures applied by Off
GERS of the Public Health service at
foreign ports of departure are reflect
cd in the small number of quaran-
Unable diseases on vessels arriving at
ports Of the United States.
During the past year at domestic
ports, 1889 vessels. 933,035 passcn-
gers and l.l34.9 seamen were in
spectcd ON arrival by quarantine Of
ficers. At insular ports 2.937 vessels,
l38.947 passengers ana 203.l62 sea-
men were inspected. and at foreign
ports 5.4Ol vessels, 514.l27 passengers
and 366. 1862 came were inspected
prior TO cmbarking for the United
States.
43.O47 Passengers Vaccinatcd
OF the passengers who embarked at
European ports, 43.047 were vsccinat-
cd and 22,603 were delouscd under
the supervision Of medical officers Of
the service. Clothing and baggage
of these passengers amounting to
95.8l6 pieces were inspected.

At domestic ports 973. 974 alien

spinal meningitis arriving at Pacific
ports from the orient increased SO
rapidly during the winter season of
l928-23 that the available facilities at
the command of the local health au-
thorities at the ports of San Francis
co and Seattle became o~vcrburdened
and. at the request of the local all
thorities. the Public Health service
extended the use of the facilities of
the federal quarantine stations at
those ports to take care of the cases
and contacts Of this disease IN order
to prevent its spread into tho United
States.
BY the early spring OF 1929. the
quarantine facilities Of both the 10.
cal federal health authorities were
becoming cv~erburdened and the
adoption Of some other measures to
prevent the spread of this disease in
to country was necessary. The final
result was the PRONUNCIATION Of an
executive order under date of June
81. 1929. having for it's purpose the
restriction and supervision Of the
transportation of passengers from
ports in China and the Philippines
to the United States under regula-
tiorT prepared by the Public Health
service.
Mexican Peril Increased
Several new International bridges
were constructed acress the Rio
Grande river along the Mexican bor-
Ger during the year. resulting in in
creased quarantine and immigration
activities at these ports. On this &C
