Mr.JEllisBarker,thewell-known authorandjournalist,inanarticle publishedin"TheWorldTo-Day," bringsforwardnewevidenceupon whathenotunreasonablycallsthe greatestscourgeofcivilisedpeople.It willbeofinteresttoreadersinview oftherecentdiscussionsattheSurge CongressinAmerica.Mr.Ellis 'Balkersays:-

Theseriousnessofthecancerproblemcanscarcelybeoverstated.Its significancecanbestheseenbythe factthatofthepeoplewhoareatpresentlivinginthiscountryfivemillions aredoomedtodieofthishorribledisease.Amongthepeoplelivingatpresentcancerwillclaimseventimesas manyvictimsasthenumberwhodied intheGreatWar.Cancerwillslaya greaternumberofEnglishpeopleof thepresentgenerationthanthenumberofEnglishmen,Frenchmen,Germans,Italians,Belgians,Rumanians andBulgarianswholosttheirlivesin theworldwar.

In1922,486,780peoplediedinEnglandandWales.Ofthese46,903,practicallyone-tenth,diedofcancer.In manyothercasescancerdeaths,.veie attributederroneouslytooldageand othercauses.Inrealitymorethan one-tenthofthepeoplewhodiedin 1922walfvictimsofcancer.ItfollowsthatindeedfivemillionEnglish menandwomennowlivingmustbe expectedtodieofcancerifthecare cermortalityremainsstationary.Unfortunatelythereisnoreasonforbelievingthatthecancerdeathratewill remainstationary.Onthecontrary, thereiseveryreasonforanticipating thatitwillcontinueincreasingvery greatlyunlessvigorouspreventative measuresaretakenwithoutdelay.AccordingtotheGovernmentstatistics, cancerdeathspermillionhaveincreasedasfollows:-

Comparedwithcancer,pulmonary consumptionisatriflingdisease.In 192246,903peopleinEnglandand Walesdiedofcancer,butonly33,919 diedofconsumption.Inotherwords, cancerclaimednearly50percent. morevictimsthanconsumption,and whiletkecancerdeath-rateisincreasingfromyeartoyearinthemost alarmingmanner,theconsumption death-rateissteadilydecliningyearby year.Last,butnotleast,consump- tionisarelativelypleasantdisease.

Whileinvestigatingthecancerproblemfromthegeographicalpointof viewIwasmuchstruckbythefact thatthediseaseispracticallyunknownamongprimitiveraceswhich leadprimitivelives,butthatitisuniversalamongcivilisednations.Furthermore,Ifoundthatitwasmost prevalentamongthemostadvanced peoplesandthatitclaimsfarmore victimsinthetownsthaninthecountrydistricts-Moreover,Idiscovered thatwhileprimitivenegroesareprac- ticallyfreefromthedisease,thecivi lisednegroeslivingintheUnited Statesfallasreadilyvictimsasthe whitepeoplearoundthem.Onthe otherhand,theRedIndiansofthe UnitedStateswholiveinsettlements oftheirowninaprimitivemanner arepracticallyfreefromcancer.Comparisonofallthedataforceduponme theconclusionthatcancerisadisease ofcivilisation.Thequestionarose:Whatfactor,orfactors,connected withcivilisationcausecancer?
