All this is written of course before the debate in the Council ha taken place, but though we may possibly have to modify our views after we have read this afternoon's speeches, we most strongly maintain that a commis- sion is the sensible thing to demand, not so much because the

Moreover we feel that startling as the official stat¿. ments are that have already been made regarding the Colony's obsolete health system they would pale before the evidence that could be collected by a really deter- mined commission.
