charged
today
that
the

has
created
a
political

fund
to
fight
attempts
to
in
introduce
�
troduce
a
medical

plan
covering
everyone
in

He
made
the
accusation
in
a
presentation
to
the
royal
com
mission
on
health

in
which
he
advocated
a
national
medical

program
adminis
administered

financially
assisted
by

NO
RIGHT
Mr
Strachan
said
the
medi
medical
�
cal
profession
should
not
hae
either
the
moral
or
legal
right
to
obstruct
a
government-sponsored
medical
plan
The
medical
profession
has
created
a
political
action
fund
with
the
specific
purpose
of
de
defeating
�
feating
a
plan
for
medical
care
to
cover
everyone
in
Canada
he
said
Mr
Strachan
said
the

profession
in

raised
90000

a
sperial
levy
on
its
membership
to
fi
finance
�
nance
a
publicity
campaign
against
that
provinces
pro
proposed
�
posed

plan
The
type
of
campaign
used
he
said
which
even
descended
to
religious
blasphemy
has
been
condemned
from

end
of
Canada
to

SOCIALIST
EVILS

publicity
campaign
aimed
at
the
evils
of

To
describe
this

work
is
a
misnomer
Mr
Strachan
declared
The
money
is
in

Mr

said
it

ap
parent
from

ciation
representative
to
the
CMA
that
the
medical

recognizes

as

And
he
noted
that
the
CMA
took
up
the
def
deficit
�
icit
incurred
by
its
Saskatche

division
in
its
pravincial
campaign
Mr
Strachan
said
that
al
though
the
CMA
protests
that
the
country
cannot
afford
a
comprehensive
health
plan
it
has
no
qualms
in
channelling
over

The

The

Mr

advised

said
at
the
press
conference
The
action
I
take
today
I
feel

In

With

of

in
Western
Can
Canada

ada
and
with
a
thorough
knowledge
of

within

I
feel
it
is
my
duty
to
picsent
the
strong
views
I
hold
at

on
every
public
platform
Mr
Douglas
said
Mr

comes
as
a
great
surprise
and
disappointment
to
all

and
have
worked
loyally
on
his

In

William

said
the

is
the
crudest
example
of
poli
political
�
tical
opportunism
in
Canadian
political
history
His
attack
upon
the
labor
movement
which
he
wooed
from
coast

during
his
campaign
for
leadership
of
the
party
is
pure
hypocrisy
