He was not given re-train- ing on compassionate grounds, and | further his re-training was not a | failure; he qualified in the course | he undertook and had a good report | from his instructor. There are no definite reasons given | | for sending Crockett to the "Neur- | | asthenic Institution at London" (tho | correct name 'thi. hut-factory |I now find is Westminster Psycho- pathic Hospital) except a distinct in- | ference-that Crockett is a malingerer, | foolish in view of the fact that one | could hardly choose a more uncom- | fortable way of malingering than | coming "inte hospital about | night with his jaw dislocated." | As to his chest condition, W. | Smith and R.

In any event he, Crockett, for is entitled under the interpretation | usually placed on the regulations for employees in the Vetcraft work-shops | to all the medical treatment the de- | partment has at its disposal, The statements that Crockett was | "impossible as a student' and "unre- | liable as a vetcraft worker" are not | borne out by the reports of his im- mediate supervisors. The department evidently regret 'some inconvenience" caused by de- { lays in payment. "Some inconveni- ence" in this case meant no coal. no | food, no credit--nothing for several days, for Crockett's dependents. Some | inconvenience!

I would further add in this con- nection that some of the medical | officials of the D.S.C.R. appear to { have wholly lost touch with the usual | attitude of a doctor towards a patient in their dealings with many men at- | tending for treatment. Even Crockett had proved himself juare such information at my finger- | "im- | possible" and "unreliable" as the de- | | partment alleges, what has that got | to do with his medical treatment? -One thing I would state, however; Crockett much appreciates the {feat- ment meted out to him br the D.S.
