VENEREAL DISEASES.
♦ A DEMAND FOB LEGISLATION. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) Received January-26, 10.45 a.m. LONDON, January 25.

Legislation would probably be introduced early giving effect to the recommendations of the Royal Commission. It was essential that publicity should be given to the grave dangers of the scourge, and free and secret treatment provided.
