CHEMICAL WARFARE
PROTECTION AGAINST RAIDS DISCUSSIONS IN ENGLAND LONDON, July 23. (Received July 24, at 9.30 p.m.) Measures against chemical warfare were discussed by both the House of Lords and the 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 toward abolition of such warfare.
Dr A. T. Jones said there could not be adequate protection against deadly poison gas. It would be a travesty of human intelligence if they were unable to secure its prohibition. Lord Favers-ham, in the House of 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 to all cases.
