The representative meeting was continued on Monday, when an appeal
to the medical profession embodying the Association's scheme was drawn up. Very strong feeling was expressed upon many sides that it would be highly dishonourable for
any of those who signed the original pledge to desert the Association at the present juncture and become " blacklegs." This pledge, it will be remembered, included a refusal to take service except "in accordance with the declared policy of the British Medical Association," and there can be no question that the Association's policy is still against taking service. On the other side, however, it is argued that the Association itself has already renounced another part of the pledge, namely, that which binds members not to "enter into any individual or separate agreement with any approved Society."
