Dr. Steele, speaking in support of his resolu- tion, advanced sqme powerful argu- | ments as to why the resolution should receive careflll consideration from the House, He said that the war had furnished some remarkable examples of sanitation and medical science.

Net only had typhoid been conquered, but al- 80 cholera and tetanus Dr. Steele argu that if could be conquered in war surely it could also be overcome in times of peace. One metifd which the gov- ernment might employ to combat the spread of disease was by controlling immigration so that no unfit person should be allowed to enter the Do- minion. He gave figures showing how the number of feeble-minded per- sons in Canada was rapidly increas- ing, and said that with our tax meth=; ods of examing immigrants, many mentally deficient people doubtless sound their way past the immigration officers into the country. Eighty per cent. of the offspring of such persons | would, said the doctor, also be feeble- minded. The problem of mental de- ficiency was intimately associated with crime, poverty, disease, immor- ality ann other sodtat evils. | The most appalling feature of the whole subject, said Dr. Steele, the vast national loss resulting from There were dying in Canada every year about thirty! thousand children under one year of| age, and fifteen thousand of these] lives could be saved. In view of the! through the disease 'tremendous loss of lives due to the! ¥ar, it was of tremendous importance] to preserve the child life of the! country. During the past fifty years, we had paid less attention to the; health of our children than' we had] to that of the horse, the cow or the, uog. Every European country, hej said, had its National Health Service, and the United States, in 1913, had! ustablisied a Federal Public Health| Service. Dr. Steele closed by asking | the House to give his resolution fav-| srable consideration. The debate on! Dr. Steele's motion was adjourned! after a brief discussion by the House. | "FRANKNESS FitOM FRANK." { Convalescent.
