First steps towards making Broad

country were taken, before the war.
Since the cessation of hostilit.es the
project has not been strongly ngi-
tated because of the unsettled condi-

the work may be gathered from letter by
one of them to the Assistant Surgeon Gen
eral, in which they declared: THE money
spent in your campaign against malaria here
gave the quickest and most enormous re-
turns L have ever known from any invest
ment. 1t paid in the first year from one hun
dred to four hundred per cent"
With scores Of such examples pointing the
way to malaria control and to the great
economic well as human gains resulting
therefrom, 1t is natural that informed bust
ness leaders in all parts of the country
should be lending enthusiastic support to
sanitary and medical science in this field Of
endeavor. Georgias malaria problem is no
more formidable than that of other States,
but it is costing millions Of dollars in i'm
paired energy and interrupted work, to say
nothing of the suffering individuals 1t is
highly gratifying therefore that men Of af-
fairs like those who met this week in the
Second District conference at Albany are
putting their Influence, whole heartedly be-
hind the anti-malaria campaign. With such
reinforcement the effort to Danish the dis
ease from the South and from the nation is
certain to succeed
