stand for the best traditions of the prol'ession of medicine as opposed to ephemeral This br brought Dr. Thomas Dixon to his feet with the statement that the Publicity Committee should be abolished. He was ruled out of order and he moved that the Publicity Committee should be discontinued. He was again told that he was out of order and that he could not speak until a motion was presented as to the acceptance of the report. "When the motion was offered, Dr.

Benjamin M. Briggs got the privilege of the floor and urged that the report should not be accepted. He stated that a publicity committee was uncalled for and that it should not be sanctioned by cepting its report. Dr. Briggs was followed by Dr.

Dixon, who again asked the right to speak. When President Winfield refused to him and proceeded to put the question, came the rebuke from Dr. Kevin. Dr. Dixon's Scathing Rebuke of Foes of Publicity.

There is no room for such a committee in the medical profession of the present day. All our tendencies are toward' a broader standard. We have no. right to conceal facts from the public, and there is nothing that the medical shouldn't profession we need be ashamed of. let the full light of day in on what we do? Why shuld we make a mystery of medicine and surgery? want to say, that should do away with this committee." Dr.

Kenneth F. Junor' spoke even more vigorously against the report and against the existence of a publicity committee. "You have right to constitute such a committee." said Dr. Junor. "Its effect is an attempt to take away my liberty and yours.

No man can tell me what I may say and what I may not. There should be no such body of men to decide for you or for me what is best to be published. We are intelligent enough, or should be, to decide for ourselves. If we do wrong, then there should be punishment and there will be punishment from the proper channels. But do not let us allow any such committee to choke us off, to try to gag us.

For myself I will permit no committee to decide for me what I have the right to say. My liberty is too dear to me." Dr. Pilcher's Com. Reports Against Advancing Scale of Fees. There were also reports of other standing committees and from one of them, headed by Dr.

Lewis S.
