body who has the proper qualifications
going up there to treat the lepers. But
hn ~
shall Issue a permit for two years to
any person applying for one. The
Board of Health cant use sany discre-
ton In the matter II must issue the
permit to anyone who asks for IT, There
Is nothing under this act to keep the
whole United States or the whole OF
China or the whole Of japan going 6vri
there to treat leperss -
Another thing: What are the PED
pie going to do up there II this bill
becomes law? Maybe 200 Or 300 or
100 viii go up there. 1t says any per-
son may engage In the treatment of
iepers. II man comes along who
wants to go over there to see the lep-
ers. what's TO hinder him going ont
and getting bottle Of black mud and
then saying he wants to treat the lep-
ers. You might as well throw the
doors open and let the lepers all go.
What will be the good OF sending them
over there"
Kalama moved the majority report
be adopted. He couldn't see that the
bill opens the door ny Coney had
claimed. Permission could only be
obtained according to the rules and
regulations of the Board of Health.
And anyhow, the House mad adopted n
resolution to allow Wallach to go to
Molokai.

majority report, carrying the freak
measure through second reading.
