ANTI-VIVISECTION UNION
The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection held its sixth annual meeting this week. Mr. W. J. Connors, past-president, presided in the place of Mr. M. Walker, who was absent on account of ill-health. A sound financial position and a year of energetic activity were shown in the report. Mr. Connors discussed the absence of cancer from many primitive races. Instead of vivisection, he contended, experimenters should study the diet of these peoples, for diet was the basic matter in the subject. Ho stressed that, in spite of much expense, cancer was on the increase. The following officers were elected:— President, Mr. M. Walker; vice-presi-dent, Mr. Basil Croker; hon. secretary and treasurer, Mr. G. G. Paul; hon. solicitor, Mr. A. M. Gould; executive committee, Mesdames E. Connors, J Xoble, Meeking, J. Sharp, Zinnaman, Misses K. Ward and E. M. Moon, Messrs. H. L. Fendall, G. B. Winkfield, W. J. Connors.
