This gentleman sought to give the impression that a medical student in Europe can pass an examination without study or practical training and without attendance of clinics. A superficial glance at any of the official curricula of a European university will convince one that this is impossible. The question of not giving commissions to graduates of foreign universities is not a measure which was passed against the refugee doctors and one should not confuse this with a limitation to practice for foreigners. This is just one phase of a wellorganized movement to squeeze certain individuals of a background which this gentleman does not like out of American medicine. This plot dates back more than 10 years and had its start with his appointment to director of the study commission of foreign medical education. "This movement is supported by certain members of the American Medical Association who put their own selfish interests before the interests of the American people.
