THE INSURANCE BILL.
OPPOSITION FROM THE DOCTORS. By Cable —Press Association —Copyright. London, July 26. Professor Saundby, in his presidential address at the British Medical Association, referring to the Insurance Bill, said that the compulsory absorption by the State of medical practitioners was subversive of the interest of the public and of medical science. The Government would find the Medical Association was not unprepared to fight for their own interests. Its members numbered 24,000. During the discussion a delegate pointed out that there could be no invalidity insurance without the co-opera-tion of the medical profession, and unless they received fair treatment they would unhesitatingly exercise the veto.
