Wellington—Britain's withdrawal of her recognition of the New Zealand pharmacy diploma course as a suitable qualification for practice will probably revive the controversy between the Government and the New Zealand Pharmaceutical Society.

So Far the Minister of Education 'the on. A. E. Kinsella) has refused to comment on the British move because a petition on pharmacy training is still before Parliament. But how long the Government can stay silent depends on the actions of two proponents of the obligatory university course for all pharmacists. Britain has recognised their case and they are unlikely to let Mr. Kinsella off the hook.

The two are the President of the Pharmaceutical Society (Mr. R. D. F. Crosby) and the Head of Otago University's Pharmacology and Pharmacy department (Dr. F. N. Fastier).
