HEALTH PROBLEMS
*)'.* SOCIAL HYGIENE CONGRESS Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, October 5, (Received October G, at 11 a.m.) Mr L. C. Ainery (Secretary of State for the Dominions), speaking at the opening of the Imperial Social Hygiene Congress at Wembley, which is dealing with the venereal problem, said it was beginning more and more to be realised that the administration of the whole Empire must be based on a sound health policy. They were beginning to see in Africa that tropical disease was not something inherent in a climate, so much as it was due to neglect, and that it was preventable. Although Africa was the country chiefly in need of attention, the same necessity existed on a smaller scale in many other parts of the Empire, The problem of venereal disease was more serious, but bo was hopeful, because no disease was more capable of cure,—Reuter.
