Mr. Janicot agreed that the resolution proposed by the French delegation 
be treated as a recommendation. 
Mr. S. Gamble, Canada, proposed a recommendation that scales smaller than 
1:50 000 should also be included in the experimental work carried out by 
commission IV. 
The president agreed that there was a great interest in still smaller scales 
than 1:50 000 especially in underdeveloped countries. Therefore it would be 
a very fruitful and worthy field of investigation by commission IV. He would 
like to formulate Col. Gamble’s recommendation as follows: »It is recommended 
that in the future Commission IV give some attention and exercise some activity 
in the investigations and experiences and tests if necessary, in scales of mapping 
smaller than 1/50 000 getting into the order of 1/250 000. 
Gen. Ilurault, France, thought it not advisable to start practical experiments 
of mapping in the scales of 1: 250 000 because the control work would be too 
expensive and comprehensive. 
After some further discussion all agreed to the recommendation by Col. 
Gamble as above. 
The following resolutions were accepted at the session to be submitted to 
the General Assembly: 
1. Commission IV will continue experimental work in cooperation with in 
terested organizations. Such work will embrace both fundamental and 
practical problems. 
2. The President of Commission IV will name as soon as possible the Presidents 
of subcommissions IV—1, IV—2 and IV—3. 
3. The Presidents of subcommissions will contact the participants as soon as 
possible to establish a tentative program Avhich will be discussed between 
them at special meetings held in Europe and America. 
4. Reports on experimental work must be completed and submitted by par 
ticipants one year before the next Congress so that the last year may be 
devoted to analysis of results. 
5. An interim general meeting of Commission IV should be organized at a con 
venient time.
