THE DOCTORS' REVOLT.
"RUDE INEPTITUDE."
By Teletrraßh-Prew AasoclnHon-CopjrieM London, February 12. The Master of Klibank, presiding at an Insurance meeting in the London Opera House, said that the Liberals henceforth assumed tho entire responsibility of tho Insurance Act, owing to (heir opponents' attitude, and any credit accruing would be theirs alone. Tho Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Lloyd-George, denounced the Unionists' inhumanity in counselling the doctors to strike. The refusal of tho lioyal College of Physicians and Surgeons to discuss the Act with tho .Government Department was an unparalleled example of rudo ineptitude. If doctors refused work under tho Act, said Mr. LloydGeorgo, they would be deprived of the safeguards it provided, inasmuch as (he medical relief money would be handed to those insured through benefit societies. Moreover, tho Mctlicnl Institute's dispensarios would multiply throughout the land.
