By Telegraph-Press Association— Copyright. (Received This Day? 12.55 p.m.) ■
LONDON, February 2.
The “Lancet,” in a leader on. the problem of refugee doctors, requests medical men to “reconsider their obstructionist policy.” It adds: “If we regard medicine primarily as humane, we cannot afford race prejudice, which is incompatible with humanity. If we say there is no work in England for immigrant doctors, are we prepared to say that our population throughout the country gets all the medical care needed? Is it sensible for an Empire with huge unhealthy masses to reject the services of men and women who have had the long and expensive draining required for medicine?”
