HOSPITALS FOR ALL.
SURGEONS FINDING. (Received 12 noon.) CANBERRA, this day. The Australian and New Zealand Surgeons Congress adopted a series of resolutions dealing with public hospitals, including the following finding: "That patients who are not in a position to pay- anything towards the cost of their hospital maintenance and treatment should have "first claim on the public hospitals and patients able to pay either in whole or in part, should not be excluded from the facilities obtainable in properly equipped modern hospitals. To meet the needs of these a community hospital system, under which all classes of patients are received, nonpaying, intermediate and paying, is the ideal to be aimed at and should replace the present unsatisfactory system of small private hospitals."
