Others think it might be a wise course to turn the1 finances and management over to the Sisters of St. Anne. In view of marked differences of opinion the only way to arrive at a proper decision would seem to be to submit a plebiscite to the ratepayers of the city and to be willing to abide by the decision.

Their needs should be uppermost in th minds of the people.As it stands the Sisters appear to be the only ones proposing to provide the full amount of money needed in addition to that now on hand. The. alternative so far is to try to collect $30,000 so that a new wing, costing approximately $100,000, may be erected.

Joseph's 'Hospital, Victoria, may I be per-' mitt'd to bring a few points be- fwe the public which other writer have not fully covered. 'Every doctor "privejeged" to pratic : in S. Joseph's Hospital k required to sign, an agreement ."equity Kvdlrvj on the governing itoady and ihe staff." Under the ,rule-i and regulations therein set forth, ".bsfpre beginning an opera tion in, this hospital, the surgeon. is requires! 10 state aeiumeiy the cister-ln.-charge what operation he tateods to. perform." fiis oparaUens ore fprbidden and seven more 'specifically f orbldden.'i Hence, uuder this agreement, It is Jibe slstex-ln-charge who decides what operations are permissible. i Therapeutalc abortions are for- bidden in Catholic hospitals because su:h operations conflict with the doctrines of the Catholic re- 'igion. ; Mr. Harman quotes two sections ,of the Criminal Code by which he appears to show that any opera ition that Ls performed with th? purpose of saving life is permls-;.-able. In matters of faith and ,1s in conscience bound to obey an :-aw of any country if such la conflicts in any' way with the doctrines of the Catholic Church Therefore, notwithstanding Mr. j Harmon's quotations, the Catholic Kyle 1 ih 4ittt.Vinrlt.v fr11i- n Some people seem to get quite excited about the hospi- catholic hospitals, i need only tal situation.

R. A. MacKAY. SHOULD NOT HESITATE TO ACCEPT Editor, Daily News: - A meeting of the General Hospital Association Is called for Mon The situation as I see it is as fol lows: j The present hospital Is obsolete and has been condemned by the Fire Marshal as a fire trap and one ncapable of ever being other than l fire trap. As a consequence, some teps. must be taken to obtain a substitute for the present In what way can this be achiev ed? The government is unwilling to provide the necessary funds. No easonable person thinks for a moment that the necessary amount :an be raised by voluntary contri butions in this city, or the surrounding district, or elsewhere. Two. other methods have been sug Sisters in question were "asked" to submit an offer, copies of which have been laid before the proper! authorities. j that the killing of an unborn child by "direct means" is condemned by the Catholic Church. But Mr. Jones, who consulted a 'high Catholic authority," says in his letter that the Catholic Church does not con- morals the Catholic Church is ajdemn abortion when the doctor law unto itself and no Catholic I considers it necessary. Evidently, there is some slight disagreement of opinion between reliable sources and high Catholic authorities.

Mr. Harman will find that St. Boniface Hospital discharged its very able radiologist, Dr. Omar G. Hague, for expressing his onln- ion on euthanasia (mercy killing), which expression, it was claimed, was "a violation of the moral code by which all Catholic hospitals are governed," and had "prejudicially affected the hospital." A mere expression of a scientific opinion, mark you, gentlemen. This time the Catholic Church 'and the law were not in agreement tor Mr. Justice Dennlstoun gave Judgment in favor of the plaintiff, Dr. Hague, stating that he considered It the right of every nrofes- slonal man to express himself on gested: one, by the hospital board, 'scientific affairs if he wished to do that there should be an additional s0- levy for hospital purposes on the rateable property of this city. The alternative the acceptance by the ilty on a gratuitous offer by the Sisters of St. Anne to erect a first class, modern, fireproof building it a cost of $200,000, on condition that certain assets belonging to the present hospital Institution should be turned over to them. That there should be any hesita tion In choosing which of these methods should be adopted would, to an outsider, I think, appear ridiculous, but apparently the approval of the public is not altogether una nimous, the dissentients being apparently under some Impression that the Bisters are pressing for the acceptance of their offer.

B, MacKAY. YES OK NO Editor, Daily News: The hospital Issue is in the hands of the citizens of Prince Rupert. It Is up. to them to say yes or no to the magnificent offer of the Sisters of St. Anne, it's a business and humanitarian proposition, not to be befogged with religious The Sisters are not so anxious, as some seem to think, to spend $200,000 on a hospital at Prince Rupert, and unless their offer is endorsed by a good majority of the people, so as to make them feel welcome, they will certainly not come. Every business man under stands the heavy responsibility they assume in Investing such a sum In Prince Rupert, In days when things are so unsettled In the world at large. Every one knows that the actual hospital is obsolete and a fire trap. Moreover it is the common talk heard on every side that the $30 000 required to build only a wing Of the new hosnital cannot h raised in Prince Rupert. Hencej came the thought to Invite the Sisters. j It's all nonsense to set a value of $100,000 on the assets, of, the old'' hospital. I wonder "how much one NEW DANCE FILM HERE; "Swing Time," With Fred Astalre And Cirvm Rogers, At J At Capitol Theatre would pay for a building that must be dismantled. The efficiency of the Sisters as hospital operators Is well established. They have no need of my praises. They run the hospitals of Smlthers, Ketchikan, Juneau, Daw son, Fairbanks, etc., besides then-large hospitals in the south and east. People who have never been In their hospitals can inquire from i the above places and they will learn that the Sisters give the best jmslble service to every patient irrespective of any creed or no creed or race that they give the same attention to the rich and poor. Again It Is up to the people of Prince Rupert to say yes or no. A negative answer will not displease the Sisters in the least. It will not even hurt the feeling of any reasonable Catholic In the city. H. LETOURNEAU. HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION Editor, Dally News: The letter from Mrs. McKay in vour issue of Thursday savors a ?ood deal of narrow-minded Ignorance and prejudice atralnst tha Catholic religion. In St. Paul's Hospital, Vancouver, operated by iuns, they have 100 .percent more lases to attend to than those alluded to Iby Mrs. McKay and do not allow religious codes to Interfere with common sense treatment. Besides the doctors would not allow them to do so. Catholic nuns are not narrow-minded or Ignorant. They are broad-minded and intelligent and know how to run a hospital efficiently and economically. By what I hear around town, the local hospital authorities do not want a religious order to have the man agement of the hospital for many reasons and one of these reasons Is obvious to the meanest intelli gence and to anyone who knows Kupert as I do "The Town with a Curse."
