Description:‘Sir George Buchanan.
As instructed, I attended yesterday a Sub-Committee of the Colonial Advisory Council of Agriculture and Animal Health which was appointed to consider the cultivation of cinchona in East Africa. Sir Arthur Hill, Dr. Stanton and Mr. Stockdale (Agricultural Adviser to the Secretary of State for the Colonies) were the members of the Sub-Committee with Mr. Hibberd as Secretary. The Sub-Committee was appointed on the recommendation of an Agricultural Research Conference held at Amani Research Station, Tanganyika, in February, 1931. I understood that I was co-opted principally in view of a letter which was before the Sub-Committee from Sir David Prain in which he said that, before considering the question of cinchona planting anywhere in the Empire at all, the Sub-Committee must get to “known whether synthetic chemical products equally effective as remedies for malaria can be produced at less cost than either quinine or febrifuge extracted from cinchona bark”. I informed the Sub-Committee on that question as in the letter to Mr. Hibberd which I annex.
(Intld.) S.P.J. 14th January, 1932.’
