85 should have been given the opportunity of it before the’commission rejected a full state service. It may be asked whether the MPU have complied with governmental wishes or instructions in endeavouring to formulate plans for a full state service ; and whether the planning commission, with or without the backing of a majority of the profession, rejected the wishes of the Government..If so the commission must wait to find out the reactions of the Government before doing any further planning. Again I ask, what are we supposed to be planning ?

either a conical or a concave end-piece can be attached. The head frame is a self-adjusting model which can be fixed in any desired position by means of a milled clamping nut. The instrument has the additional advantage that it can be converted into an ordinary type of stethoscope. It transmits respiratory and heart sounds satisfactorily without distortion ;but there may be some who will find difficulty in analysing the sounds transmitted to the ear simultaneously from two different areas of the chest.

Cosbie Ross, injuries of the urinary bladder; Dr. Raymond Greene, frostbite and kindred conditions ; Mr. S. M. Cohen, traumatic arterial spasm ; Mr. J. E. A. O’Connell, vascular factor in the cerebrospinal-fluid circulation and its relationship to intracranial pathological processes ; Mr. O. S. Tubbs, effect of ligation on infection of the patent ductus arteriosus ; Mr. Alexander Weddell, cutaneous innervation ; and Mr. W. Bremner Highet, injuries to peripheral nerves. Arris and Gale Lecturer.-Prof. H. A. Harris, anatomy of posture in industry : clinical anatomy of the veins : and relation of the lymphatic system to the arterial and venous systems.

tenth of what would be reasonable and desirable in any civilised country. But a more lavish expenditure can be welcomed only if it goes hand in hand with wise administration, and the use of the products of research for the common good. Dr. Alan Gregg,2 who is director for medical sciences at the Rockefeller Foundation, is more than doubtful about short-term policies in the planning of research. Far better to endow institutes and laboratories well, for it is notoriously difficult to recognise research ability at an early stage. A shortterm grant-might give the aspirant a period of probation in which to establish a claim to more permanent support ; but much money is squandered in this way, and it might be wise to test a would-be researcher by other meansfor example, as an apprentice or student assistant to some more seasoned worker in medical school or university. To devote funds solely to research which seems to be of J. R. Baker3 practical use is futile, as both Gregg and " out. in Baker, scenting danger point planning " and state control, urges that the researcher must have complete liberty to pursue his work without political influence or interference. Few would wish to dispute his belief that " in science there is no loyalty to creed, party or class : only to demonstrable truth and reason." But his dread of an approaching state dictatorship over the subjects and methods of research seems unfounded ; to begin with, any such tyranny could only be achieved at the cost of revolutionary changes in the present conduct and policy of the Medical Research Council ; and so many important discoveries have been made by individual workers that they may well claim the right to pursue their ways undisturbed. But as an inevitable result of growing specialisation, there is growing room for team-work too, especially when the research is well planned and the members of the team have combined, not as a result of outside pressure, but by mutual consent.
