MEDICAL RESEARCH
ONE AND INDIVISIBLE
EMPIRE ORGANISATION.
RAPIDLY EXTENDING,
(United Press Assn. Copyright.) (Received 11 a.m.)
LONDON, February ij.
| Following on steady progress in linkI ing np research organisations in Britain with those in the Dominions and India, the Medical Research Council last year extended the process to colonies, protectorates and mandated territories. It is hoped that the result will be a veritable Imperial research service. Commenting on the subject, the Council, in its annual report points out that there is probably more tuberculosis and measles in the tropics than in England. Those diseases may perhaps be bettor studied overseas than at Home, just as control of purely tropical disease may spring from clues discovered in some northern laboratory.
It becomes clearer every year that medical science is one and indivisible, whether in temperate or tropical climates; consequently research should be done wherever the best opportunity offers.—A.P.A. and Sun.
