PARIS. May 31.-An overnight report
that Premier Poincare might ratify the
Franco-American debt settlement by
decree, was eliminated today by COM
nunique of the foreign affairs COM
m!ttee of the Chamber Of Deputies.
The communique said the committee
had taken cognizance Of the letter
from the premier engaging the govern
ment to take no action on the repara-
lions report or the debt settlements
without previous reference to the for
eign affairs committee, to the Chamber
and to the Senate.
At the same time, the commission de-
cided to postpone fixing the date Tor
debate on Socialist motion demanding
an airing in the Chamber of the gov

1t was originally planned to discuss this
next Tuesday.
Substitution of a government decree
ratifying the F'ranco-Amerlcan and
Franco-British debt agreements for
parliamentary ratification was said to-
day by Paul Reynaud, French deputy,
to be the plan of Premier Poincare.
M. Reynaud was selected by tne
Republican Democratic group in the
Chamber of Deputies to sound out the
head of the government, and may have
spoken from the vantage of that office.
Parliamentary opposition to the Mel

MANY DEATHS LAID
TO LAX TEACHING
UnskiIIed Obstetricians Are
Scored by Health CON-
missioner.

Lack of physicians skilled In OBJ
Stetrics, blamed on inadequate instruc-
ton, was held largely responsible for
many deaths and the chronic invalid
ism of hundreds of women annually
from causes directly connected with
childbirth, by Dr. Matthias Nicoll. jr,
commissioner of health of the State of
New York and president of the State
and Provincial Health Authorities Of
North America, at the opening session
of the forty-fourth annual conference
of the organization in the Annapolis
Hotel today
The conference is being attended by
leading health officials and authorities
from throughout the United States and
elsewhere.
Speaking on the subject, Maternity
as a Public Health Problem" DR.. Nicoll
declared that between $4,000 and 49, 900
are rendered chronic invalidS as a re-
suit of childbirth.
instruction Inadequate.
DR.. Nicoll then launched into severe
attack against the methods of teaching
obstetrics, saying, in part:
mo one will question the oft-repeated
statement, especially by members of the
medical profession, that the teaching of
obstetrics in most of our medical schools
is totally inadequate. In many the in
struction and experience afforded medi-
cal students Is far less than required
by midwives In those States which SUI
pervise their work and license them.
Indeed, in some of our medical schools
the faculties have net departed from the
original conception that the practice of
obstetrics is hardly mans job"
AS q contrast To this situation, DR..
Nicoll declared there has arisen in re-
cent years "a school of meddleSome OBJ
stetrics founded on the practice of
teaching of certain unquestionably
skilled obstetricians, the popularity of
whose practice is undoubtedly based on
the very natural desire of women to be
relieved of the sufferings through child
birth" On the slightest provocation,
DR.. Nicoll continued, this class of OBJ
Stetricians will resort to the use of in
struments and operations.
Iodine Content in Food.
Goiter and its relation to iodine con-
tent in food was cited in an address at
the meeting by DR.. James A. Hayne of
South Carolina, who told of investiga-
tons made in that State and urged
other health offices to conduct analysis
of food grown in their States and prov
inces.
I'VE know that South Carolina fruits
and vegetables contain sufficient iodine
for nutritional purposes" and If per-
son will eat South Carolina fruits and
vegetables they can reasonably expect
not to have goiter," he declared.
He told of the work of the State food
analysis commission and presented a
number of tables showing the large con-
tent of iodine in the fruits and vege-
tables of his State.

LONDON, May 31.-Labor headquar-
tiers is jubilant. The number of seats
they have won In the British general
election exceeds the party's most opti-
mistic estimates.
Ramsay Macdonald, leader of Labor,
has summoned his principal lieutenants
all former or future cabinet minis
ters-to London for conference next
Tuesday.
Whether the Labor leaders optimism
in this action is entirely justified is
difficult to say. But at present 1t looks
as If the British Laborites will be able
to form a government without the aid
of any other party.
The greatest surprise has been the
sweeping Liberal defeat. 1t seems, so
far, that the Liberal party is actually
dead and that the famous revival pre-
dicted by Lloyd George and his asso-
ciates was only myth born in the vivid
imagination of the Welsh wizard.
