Mr. E. O'Donnell lectured at last night's meeting of the Social ■ Democratic Party in the Alexandra Hall on the subject of the medical profession. His text was Bernard Shaw's work, "The Doctor's Dilemma." . The lecturer quoted passages from ''The Doctor's Dilemma" to prove his contention that the nationalisation of the medical profession was advisable By this method, he argued, we could become sound citizens of a sound nation, with sense enough to be ashamed of any other arrangement. At the conclusion of the lecture some members of the audience put questions challenging the right of Bernard Shaw to express his opinions on the profession. The lecturer replied by stating that the public read his books in the same way as they did any other hook, and then used their own judgment. .
