Cornwall Resigns

Cornwall Resigns

Andrew Cornwall has resigned from Executive. Mr. Cornwall has made the following statement:

"My resignation from Executive was a carefully considered action, based on personal principles. I believe that every member should have the right to air his views and opinions in a reasonable manner and not to be continually interrupted with pointless and personal interjections. Certain members have, at the last few meetings I have attended, amused themselves by interrupting, interjecting and otherwise disrupting the course of the meeting where it differs from us own view and opinions, despite many requests that they abstain. Interruptions are bearable, but where personal allegations and implications are blatantly made, my position became intolerable.

"Furthermore, at the present moment it is essential that the executive be limited in its action. Certain proposals are completely beyond my principles. I can not associate myself in any manner with them and I would not require any other person to breach this.

"My stand on Executive has always been the interest of the association as far as my own principles would allow, not my own ideas and interests.J. Andrew Cornwall."
