The Committee on Tests for Intox­ ication of the National Safety Council, Chicago, lias just released its 1939 re­ port which is calculated to serve as a guide for those interested in tests to determine whether or not a person is tihder the influence of alcohol, The Committee recommends that chemical tests of body fluids or breath, any one of which is satisfactory if proper­ ly performed, be used m all cases, civ­ il or criminal, in which the influence of alcoholic liqtit>r is suspected; that ultimately each state adopt a state­ wide system of Standardized laborat­ ories preferably approved by state de­ partments Of courts, to test chemical- ily for influence of alcohol — dealing with the use of evidence obtained from chemical tests and that legal de­ finitions in state laws of the phrase, “under the influence” be made more uniform. The influence of individuals, wheth­ er medical men, ordinary citizens, pol­ ice officers, etc., as to whether or not John Smith is intoxicated, is not gl- ways dependable; it is entirely a mat­ ter of personal opinion; it may be right or it may be wrong, but the evi­ dence afforded by chemical tests is ir- reputable. .If the standard used is a proper one, the evidence cannot be gainsaid; it becomes a mathematical certainty. What is the proper stand­ ard? A Committee of the American Medical Association has adopted the following: 1. A person with a concentration of less than 0.05 per cent by weight in the blood or its equivalent in urine, saliva or breath should not be prose­ cuted. for driving while under the in­ fluence of alcoholic liquor; 2. A person with a concentration of above 0.15 per cent, should be con­ sidered as under such influence, 3. A person with a concentration between 0.05 and 0.15 per cent should be prosecuted only when the circum­ stances and results of physical exam­ ination give definite confirmation that i he is under the influence of liquor. Any ' physician or other qualified person intending to perform chemical tests for alcoholic intoxication should acquaint himself with the legal phases of the problem, especially with regard to obtaining specimens without con­ sent or by compulsion. Needless, to say he should not sterilize the instru­ ments Used by means Of alcohol and moreover lie should personally assure himself that specimens, such as Ur­ ine, are not diluted with water as has sometimes been.done, in some cases. The Committee emphasises the im­ portance in such a progranime of de­ veloping the interest, Understanding and co-operation of both enforcement officers and the public. Sooner or lat­ er In Canada some such programme is likely* to be adopted. The haphazard procedure flow in use is entirely un­ satisfactory.
