Foreign diplomas [[/note in left margin]]
Lately the medical commission of the [[red underline]] State of New York [[/red underline]] has issued a rule [[red underline]] whereby medical diplomas of France, Germany and Italy will not be recognized for practice of medicine [[/red underline]] in the State of New York.

[[red underline]] sists today. Our medical schools have become so rigid and exacting [[/red underline]] as to applicants for medical studies and final diploma, that all those who do not succeed here flock to Europe.

Finished about 9 P.M. and took Dr. Duggan and Dr. Russel (of Teachers College) along in my car.

[[red underline]] Am going to vote in Florida [[/red underline]] [[strikethrough]] my va [[/strikethrough]] and Celine will follow in a week. I shall return here in about 3 weeks. I [[red underline]] fear our vote for Hoover will be an unsuccessful effort [[/red underline]] to have him elected. - But [[red underline]] even if we are the only ones to cast our votes for him [[strikethrough]] and [[/strikethrough]] I want to do it for the sake of our self respect. [[/red underline]] Few passengers in the train.
