The Far Eastern Economic Re
view. in an analysis OF the current
five-year plan u946-195O at It's
half way mark, found that pro-

coal is to come from the Urals and
points east, and more than hall

Coal output of the Urals is
scheduled to rise % times by the
end of the, period to rival the lead
ing eastern coal field. A 1000
mile section of the Trans-Siberian
Railway is being electrified to ex-
pedite transport and will become
the worlds longest electric rail-
road. 49,.
Steel Plants Going Up :
Completion is expected Of the
huge Novo-Tagil steel works and
the Cheliabinsk works, as well as
substantial progress in four other
unfinished plants in the Urals and
Siberia.
A new paint will be built in
Kazakhstan. Particular attention
is being directed toward expand
ing the production Of thin cold
rolled sheet steel, of which the
Cheliabinsk plant will be the
principal producer In the USSR.
The Review said the five-year
plan shows certain regional en-
phases. For example, expansion
in the Urals Is centered upon the
iron and steel industry and elec-
trio power supply. LAUNDERING and
woodworking also are receiving
major attention.

Early Diagnosis ct Cancer
Cancer - one Of the major
causes of death and the number
of cases Is increasing. Al the
same time, more cases Of cancer
are being diasnoeed and cured
than ever before.
The reason that there Is more
cancer Il that more people are
living to be old enough to have
it, for by and large, cancer Is
a disease Of middle and old age.
This is all the more reason that
the public and the medical pro-
fession should be continuously
educated about cancer, Its SYM
ptoms and diagnosis. This, Of
course, applies AZ well to al
other diseases, particularly dia-
betes, heart and kidney disease.
Recently, the efforts Of the
American Cancer Society, the
American Medical Association and
other agencies to educate the pub.
! lie about cancer have been labeled
| by some as a Campaign Of feat"
that leads to an abnormal fear
Of cancer or to fatalistic apathy.
Such criticism is as dangerous
as It is illogical. We should just
as well abolish traffic safety
campaigns.
It IS admitted that the basic
problems Of cancer have not been
solved and that no "cure" exists in
the sense that pneumonia Is cured
by l,enic6llin, or that measles
"cures itself" after a certain pas
sage of time. Cancer left alone
will never ,f'cure ITSELF" and
while there are drugs that alter
its course, the only cure is its
complete eradication by either
surgery or X-ray and radium.
For this reason, for cancer
to be completely durable, it must
be discovered while it is still
small enough or otherwise limited
to an area that allows its COM
plete surgical removal or des-
truction by radium and X-ray
without at the same time neces-
stating destruction of vital or
gans or tissues.
Consequently, at the present
time, lacking the instruments
to prevent cancer or to cure it
by medicines, the keystone on
which the whole problem rests
is early diagnosis.
AS many as 80 to 80 percent
of such common cancers as those
of skin and breasts are COM
pletely durable If eradicated early
using methods already well
known and readily available.
It has been thoughtfully esti-
mated that 100000 Americans
\ cancer can be cure" Of It Il
treated early.

Year Of -Wingism

The unseating of the labor gov

from public fear over "left-wing
ism" and "the all-powerful state

the victorious Liberal and Country
Parties.
The voters wanted change, con-
tends one Of the losers, but some
of them don't know why"
Reporting for the winners was
Richard G. Casey, who was sworn
in yesterday in Canberra as Min
lister of Supply in the Australian
cabinet.
Mr.. Casey, who was Minister to
the United States from 1910 to
1912, said he believes the defeat
of the Australian Labor Party
after eight years of power-com-
ing as it did on the heels Of a
similar political change in New

influence on the coming elections
in Britain"
Given in Interview.
His views were reported in an
overseas telephone interview with
the United States News and World
Report, weekly news magazine
published here.
Mr.. Casey's answers to ques-
tions put to him by the magazine
indicated that the political cam
paign was fought out along the
lines Of free enterprise" as op-
posed to Specialization and nation
alization. He said his was "a free
enterprise party and completely
opposed to socialization."
He added, however, that "this
does not say we are opposed in
any way to social services" His
party, he explained. had said it
would not reduce the scale of So
cial services.
Asked if he thought the voters
were "discontented" over any par
ticular issue, Mr.. Casey said 1T
was not discomfort as much as
fear of left-wingism and the all

The magazine also published
interviews with j. B. Chifley, the
retiring Prime Minister of the
Labor government, and H. A. M
Campbell. editor of the Melbourne
Age. It termed the Age an indie

huence in Australian affairs.
Mr.. Chifley denied that "the
welfare Estate idea" had been re-
pudiated by the elections. He
added that all parties in Australia
ARE pledged to provide adequate
social services. educational facili-
ties and health services" and said
defeat Of his party was a result Of
