VICTORIA,

The
Dominion
government
has
no
in-teniion
of
entering
the
health
insurance
field,
according
to
an
important
statement
issued
today
by
Hon.
Dr.
G.
M.
Weir,
provincial
secretary.
Dr.
Weir
stated
that
it
had
been
the
concensus
of
opinion
at
the
recent
Dominion-provincial
conference
that
health
insurance
was
a
matter
for
the
provinces
and
not
for
the
Dominion
to
undertake.
This
view
was
held
stron;ly
by
the
members
of
the
federal
cabinet.
"Results
of
our
discussion
on
this
point,"
continued
Dr.
Weir,
"are
most
important
for
Itritish
Columbia
for
they
make
it
perfectly
clear
that
we
have
no
reason
to
delay
health
insurance
in
this
province
In
the
hope
of
Dominion
action.
At
the
same
time
the
federal
government
should
be
encouraged
to
supplement
provincial,
effort
in
