Dr. Whitehead entered a plea for closer liaison between governments and the medical profession in cases where the government plans to institute complete or partial health insurance. "Irrespective of what government it is, we want more intimate liaison in the planning stages In the hope that the best plan can be worked out for the people. That liaison should be initiated by the government."

Doctors are encouraged to discuss their failures and the revealing fact about such discussions is that whatever was done wrong is brought out into the open. There is still much to be learned about the human body." Criticisms that the medical profession is a "closed shop" are not justified, Dr. Whitehead maintained. "We arc not a closed shop in the sense that some unions are closed shop because we have not the power to tell our members what to do providing they remain within the .Medical Act," he asserted.

In spite of what might be said for or against the British Columbia Hospital Insurance Act, two large problems remain, he said. These are the shortage of hospital beds, which is beginning to be relieved, and the shortage of nurses, for which there is no answer at the present time. , Conferences between the! heads of the medical profession and Vancouver newspapers have resulted in valuable suggestions toward improved public relations which will aid in presenting current medical attitudes, he said. However, the profession does not contemplate any overwhelming publicity campaign such as is being started by the American Medical Association in the United States.
