THE WHITE SCOURGE.
CAMPAIGN TO STAMP IT OUT,
BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION
WELLINGTON, Oct. 22. A conference called by the Health Department to plan a campaign against the spread of consumption opened at Parliament buildings to-day. Mr R. ileaton Rhodes, Minister of Health, who presided said the result of the clelibeiations should be the initiation of a campaign which would result in great general good. In a climate like ours it ought to be practiable to stamp out consumption, but hitherto the effects made had been spasmodic. Mr Rhodes outlined what had been done, and what it was hoped to do.
Dr Valentine, Inspector-General of Hospitals., spoke similarly, referring to the establishment of farm colonies and the care of native patients. He mentioned that isolation was neither necessary nor humane.
The Conference then deliberated in committee.
