CANCER APPEAL.
ACTIVITIES IN HOMELAND. United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, July 14. The Duke of York, presiding at the annual Empire Cancer Campaign meeting said the campaign was going, forward slowly but surely. Among the most important developments was the formation of branch council’s throughout Britain, extending to the Dominions, thus establishing new research centres all over the Empire. In Australia and New Zealand there were now four of these important centres, well staffed and organised. As a result of the National Radium Fund, Mr Gordon Watson said that while it was not claimed that the campaign had won a great victory, there was no reasonable doubt that victory was much nearer. Undoubtedly the results of radium treatment were improving steadily, notably, for skin, womb and mouth.
The meeting appointed Sir Thomas Wilford, New Zealand’s representative at the Grand Council headquarters.
The campaign experiments indicated that the suggestion that tobacco smoking causes cancer was unfounded.
