French Refuse to Collaborate French pathological experts have once again proved their determination to avoid all ce-operation with German men of science so long as these have not made a recantation of the notorious manifesto issued by the intellectuals in 1%%!, and long as they have not repudiated the many criminal acts committed by their compatriots. At a mesting held at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris of the French Committee of the Second International Pathological Congress, under the presidency of Dr. Roger, it was decided unanimously that the French Committee could not agree to take part in congresses to which German men of science had been invited until they have publicly proclaimed that they repudiate all solidarity with the Government and military chiefs of Germany in 1914; and there was specific reference to the manifesto of the intellectuals, to the deportation of women and girls from Lille in 1916, ete.
It was also decided unanimously that French members would abstain from participation in the Second International Congress, which should take place this year in Rome, if subjects of the Central Powers are invited to it. Several members pointed out that at the recent Surgical International Congress, when it was argued that Spanish representatives would abstain if representatives of the Central Powers were not admitted, nothing of the sort ocewred; and that the net result was that the Spanish representatives sent were more friendly to the Allied cause.
It should be added that the formal resolution passed refers a similar decision taken in London on the initiative of the Royal Society in 1918.
