THE CANCER TEST In Juneau, all of Alaska, and elsewhere, a cam- paign is now being waged to fight cancer. The fol- lowing editorial, from the Washington Post, is most important right now and is reprinted as is: If all or even most of the claims made concern- ing the new blood test for cancer are sustained, the point is within sight when this terrible and mysterious disease can be brought under control as smallpox, diph- theria and typhoid fever have been. Thus, assuming the accuracy of the claims, it must be counted among | the great historic triumphs of medical research and second perhaps only to discovery of bacteria and their relationship to infectious disease. Thus 1t is hardly any wonder that physicians and surgeons, and many others, too, are waiting with intense excitement for the news from Detroit, at the meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research. Dr. Huggins' discovery does nol, of couase, amount to a cure for cancer; but, assuming the accuracy of what has been said concerning it, the detection of the disease in its early and curable stages has now become possible. as accurate as the Wassermann test fo syphilis, and, Vice-President | | thought | did not mention hours or pay. He said the public, like :raise his pay. where the discoverer, Dr.| Charles B. Huggins of Chicago, will explain the test | {m fact, is somewhat similar to it. The existence of a malignant growth anywhere in the body can, it seems, be determined by a chemical condition of the blood | produced by certain enzymes acting as a catalytic. | The condition, it is said, disappears when the growth | has been excided. Thus doubtful cases can be elimi- | nated and the question of recovery or recurrence defi- s nitely established in the absence of other symptoms. o . . The original experiments are said to have been made upon mice and then to have been tested upon human | patients. One complication appears to have arisen|e from the fact that similar blood reactions were found |® in patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis|® and other inflammatory diseases, but these cases could | ® be quickly detected and separated by other diagnostic |® methods | : The actual cure of cancer, of course, will remain | ¢ largely in the domain of surgery. But it seems clear e that a great step has been taken toward the discovery | e |of the nature and causes of cancer. When these are | known, the discovery of means of preventing the | disease should follow as a matter of couyse: Worth Trying, Mr. Acheson (New York Times) Secretary of State Acheson has taken up a phase the labor relations problem to which too littie may have been given. How is the public, which hires people to run its government, going to get the best work out of them? Tactfully, Mr. Acheson of | other employers, had a right to criticize its employees. Anybody can see that. If a hired man doesn’t properly strip the cow he milks and in consequence the cow dries up; if a Secretary of State tries the match trick if a Secretary of | ! the employer's privilege to complain, In public life it is | gy ,th(- employer’s privilege to do this on general prin- |y | ciples, just to show who is boss. | But Mr. Acheson thinks that another way to make | a public servant do his very best is to praise him | when he does a good job. This is in line with the | best modern managerial policies. Some companies give | prizes for helpful suggestions. Some confer bonuses on individuals or departments. One doesn’t know just how this principle could be applied to Cabinet members, but ti might be worth trying. We can't} pin a medal on Mr. Acheson and only Congress can We do t Use Fr of say so, makes him work even harder and get even more done we will continue with the experiment. s fast reaching the point | E.
