"It is a sad reflection upon society that we allow disease to be handed from one generation to another," he said, in declaring, "We have failed to &0 for human beings what we have not failed to do for livestock." He admitted that persons who de-- sired to escape from provision of the bill could be married outside the Province, but he held that "we would catch one in ten, and we must agree that it is a step in the right direction." Dr. Harold Welsh (Cons., Hastings East) held the principle of the bill was sound. Mr. Kirby pointed out that he was doubtful if the public would be agreeable to submit to examination for social diseases. "While I am whole--heartedly be-- hind the principle of the bill, I would suggest that it be left in abeyance to give an opportunity for department study, in the hope that some means may be found of taking action," he said. Mr. Croll concurred and with-- drew the bill.
