Fuel Economy Conference of the World Power Conference

Abstract

THE Fuel Economy Conference of the World Power Conference was opened at The Hague on September 2 by His Excellency Dr. G. W. M. Huysmans, Netherlands Minister of Economic Affairs, who was introduced by Mr. G. J. T. Bakker, chairman of the Conference. Dr. Huysmans welcomed the representatives of thirty-three countries, and told them that the critical world shortage of fuel gave additional importance to the deliberations of the Conference. It was hoped that the exchange of views on many aspects of fuel economy would be helpful to all the nations, and that the personal contacts made at the Conference would lead to collaboration in the future. The official delegates from Great Britain and France thanked the Dutch authorities for their hospitality, and looked forward to profitable discussions.
