NATIONAL DRUG TRADE CONFERENCE MEETS The annual meeting of the National Drug Trade Conference was held in New .York City on December 11th with a full attendance of delegates from the natiopal organizations holding membership in the conference. Following pertinent discussion, resolutions were passed on the following subjects: The conference voted to urge all segments of pharmacy and the drug industry to cooperate actively and aggressively in plans seeking congressional approval of the McGuire Bill (HR 5767), which seeks to correct the situation created by the United States Supreme Court Decision nullifying the non-signer clause of the Federal Fair Trade Enabling Act. The conference expressed the opinion tha t present state and federal laws appear adequate to control the distribution of barbiturates within legitimatt: channels, but that prompt study should be made of adequate control measures to prevent distribution of these drugs .in illegitimate channels. The conference urged the several states to amend their uniform narcotic acts so that synthetic narcotics coming under the control of the Federal Harrison Act shall automatically be subject to control under state acts, as well. The conference instructed its Committee on
Uniform State Legislation to study the advisability of offering amendments to its uniform State Food and Drug Act to bring it into conformity with the changes in the Federal Act brought about by the Durham-Humphrey Amendment. The conference expressed the consensus that all groups within the drug industry and the profession of ~edicine and pharmacy be given opportunity to express their views on proposed regulations under the Durham-Humphrey Amendment, in advance of the framing of regulations and that public hearings be provided prior to adoption of such regulations. 'The conference endorsed the proposal to increase the limitation on the rank of Colonel or its equivalent ~n the Medical Service Corps ' of the Armed Forces, and a proposal to provide the rank of General or its equivalent for pharmacy officers in the Armed Forces. The conference endorsed the work of the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education, the Health Information Foundation and the Bureau of Education on Fair Trade.
