tration Of certain natural sugars, such
as glucose, fructose and mannose. the
"acidity' of malignant tumor tissues
can be increased from SOU to 800 per
cent, while that of normal tissues in
the animal body is increased very little.
This throws light, at least, on the
mechanism of cancer cells and opens
up the possibility that, under certain
conditions. their acidity may be in
creased high enough to kill them with
out injuring the rest Of the body. The
work. however, is still in a highly ex-
perimental stage.
1t opened up still another possibility,
the use of Tactic acid to inhibit cell
growth. 1t was found that the cancer
GUS tissues had tendency, far above
that of other cells. to take the sugar
and convert them into Tactic acid. This
substance was then employed in cul-
lures Of amoebae, Single-celled crea-
lures with some similarity to cancer
cells, and considerable inhibition Of
cell division, by which the colony in

Both steps are looked upon, however,
as leading to a clearer understanding
Of the cancer problem rather than as
holding out any curative promises.

Princeton Professor De-
scribes Recovery Act as
Unconstitutional Revolution"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, January 6.-The
national industrial recovery act en-
bodies what may be termed "constitu-
tional revolution" in certain respects,
said Edward S. Corwin, professor of
jurisprudence, Princeton University, to-
night.
He spoke at the meeting of the Amer
lean Academy Of Political and Social
Science, where John L. Lewis, head of
the miners union, warned that II N. r.
A. does not adopt a policy for perma-
nent economic recovery, it may be nee
eSSary for organized labor to seek con-
gressional action more in keeping with
labor's views.
Prof. Corwin said that N. I. r. A. en-
bodies constitutional revolution" first
because Of a definite increase in the
powers of the Government and a pro-
portionate decrease in the powers of
the States, in relation to business.
This feature of the constitutional
This feature of the constitutional rev.
olution merely recognizes revolution
duct of business in this country.
Secondly, the N. I. R. A. also further
enhances the role of the President in
national government, both as regards
legislative leadership and administra-
tive dlScretlOn.
This phase of the constitutional rev.
olution, however, Is more in the nature
of reaction to earlier ideas than some
thing distinctly new; and it opens up a
new field of usefulness for Congress as
the mouthpiece of public opinion and
the constitutional critic of government.
Thirdly, the N. l. R. A. foreshadows
necessarily a great curtailment of the
Supreme Courts role of judicial review
in relation to national legislation and
policy.
The courts part as balance-wheel
between the National Government and
the State will have lost to consider
able extent it's reason for existence"
Lewis, whose address was read in his
absence, said the practical application
of the recovery act has been too re-
stricted and too lacking in uniformity
and compreheusiveness.
