SOCIAL SECURITY
EXTENSION URGED TWO MEDICAL COLLEGES SUGGESTED. LABOUR CONFERENCE REMITS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The extension of the social security scheme and adjustments to the organisation were recommended in a number of remits adopted yesterday morning by the annual conference of the New Zealand Labour Party. This section of remits was one of the largest to be considered by the conference, which was addressed by the Minister in Charge of the Social Security Act, Mr Parry, and the Minister of Health, Mr Nordmeyer. Steps to increase the number of medical practitioners were urged on the Government. The original remit suggested that doctors should be procured from abroad, but the committee which first considered the remits recommended that any steps taken should be within the Dominion. One means by which this could be achieved was suggested to be the establishment ot medical colleges in both the North arid South Islands with greater facilities for study for poorer students. Under the suggested scheme these students when qualified would become State doctors. .
