Although the opinions expressed at the sixth International Congress at The Hague last year were in favour of holding the seventh Congress in 1921, doubts have since been expressed in various quarters as to the advisability of this. In view of the steps to be taken in making the necessary arrangements for the Congress, the officers and members of the Berlin Society were naturally desirous of an early decision on this point. The Executive of the International Association has therefore taken the opinion of the various European Societies. These were in favour of the postponement of the Congress, and in view of the largeness of the majorities against holding the Congress in the present year and of the existence of other weighty reasons pointing to the same conclusion, the Executive has decided that the next Congress shall take place in the late summer of 1922.
