Malyon was speechless with emotion when he faced the Court.

That clumsy device, the sub-title, could no doubt be used recently some medical men had said there was no such to cover a multitude of languages onths and dialects; nevertheless it remains thing as industrial disease.

due to lack of a highly organised |

distributing system, essential requirement in # film venture of any kind. Also, and this would seem to be the vital point of the matter, Eastern subjects, whether historical or modern, are extremely costly to make. An historical sub- ject, to be of value, must be very well done. High costs in decor and dressing are not compensated for by the somewhat precarious nature of propts eventually accruing.

"If,” he added. "the General Medical Council were composed of Ilve men, instead of being composed of reactionary old fogies of medieval minis, if grave kistes did not hang on this repudiation of industrial disease, these remarks could be treated as a lake. It is not so, and the future rests with you.".

Mr. G. W. Canter asked if the Press were to report the remarks about the G.M.C.
