WASHINGTON, June 24-De-

votes to spare.
They said further they expect

or not they would be adopted. If
any attempts are made to weaken
the bill, the leaders stated they
were confident the amendments
would be voted down.
In the senate, proponents and
opponents of the measure are re-
ported to be pretty well divided.
The outcome of the measure in
the senate will depend on the ma

REVIEWING THE CANCER PICTURE


BY Act of Congress, the President pro-
claims each April National Cancer Control
Month." This is the month during which
Americans invest in the American Cancer
Societys program of research, detection,
diagnostic and treatment facilities, public
education and services to the cancer sick.
1t is also month in which to take stock
of the past years achievements and future
prospects in the fight against cancer.
During the last year cancer has exacted
a greater toll of human life than ever before
The American Cancer Society estimates the
number of Americans who died of the dis
ease increased 25 per cent during the last
decade. Part of this rise is explained by the
fact that our population has increased and
grown older. Cancer most commonly affects
older people In this case, however, statisti-
clans show that the annual increase in VIC
TINS touches almost equally all age groups.
That represents the dark side of the can
Ger picture
On the other hand, even during the last
year great strides were made toward the
ultimate goal of complete control of cancer.
We have seen survey in Vermont indi-
cate that during a decade of cancer educa-
tion the ratio of early and apparently cur
able cases that came to the doctors atten-
ton rose from 20 to so per cent. This is a
tribute to the public's intelligence in acting
on cancer early.
New efforts to diagnose cancer accu-
rately and early have proven fruitful. The
geological technique, by which body fluids
are examined for cancer cells, during the
last year or two has been invaluable. But
the search for improved biological tests must
go on.
a large array of new treatments have
been tried on cancer-some of them with ex-
citing results. Surgery and radiation, how
ever, remain the only sure methods of cur
ing cancer Nevertheless, new palliative
substances are being studied in many labor

not let rulers load us with perpetual debt
We must make our choice between economy and
liberty or profusion and servitude. If can pre-
vent the government from wasting the labors of the
people under the pretense of caring for them they
will be happy The same prudence which in private
life would forbid our paying money for unex-
planned projects, forbids it in the disposition of
public money"
IS OUR CONGRESS TO BLAME?
The above statement by Jefferson is just as true
today as when he made it, yet President Truman
won his election by preaching the very opposite
and Governor Dewey did not have the courage to
defy Mr.. Truman. Both candidates and their fellow
travellers ignored the truth and gave the people
what, in their ignorance, they wanted This same
thing has happened at various times in history and
was the primary for the fall of the Grecan,
Roman, Teutonic, and other Republics.
Can the few honest congressman accomplish
much now? Yes without opposing further New
Deal measures they force legislation to en-
courage producers They can work for legislation
which will SO help manufacturers that they can
pay increased taxes. Unfortunately the New Deal
ers started a dangerous prairie fire; whether it
can be controlled must burn itself out only the
