United Press Association.— By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Wednesday, 5.50 p.iu. LONDON, July 24.
Measures against chemical warfaic were discussed by both the House of Lords and the British Medical Association.
The latter, while urging that instruction in protection should be given to medical students, post-graduates and the public, passed a resolution that it would itself use its influence towards the abolition of such warfare. Dr. A. T. Jones said there could not be any adequate protection against deadly poison gas. It was a travesty on human intelligence if they were unable to secure its prohibition.
Lord Fuversham in the Lords-said he had been informed by experts that it was easier to provide protection against gas than against high explosive bombs. The Government was designing a respirator which would supply protection in all cases.
