DUKE OF YORK'S HOPE.
The annual general meeting of the British Empire Cancer Cam- paign was held at the House of Lords recently, the Lord Chan cellor presiding. The following letter from the Duke of York was read:-
As president of the British Em- Ppire Cancer Campaign I am de- annual lighted, to see from the report to be submitted at the un- nual general meeting that the work has been steadily moving forward towards its goal-the dia covery of the cause and cure" of cancer-and the report bears evi- dence of strenuous efforts in all branches of cancer research. It | is a great antisfaction to know Lot Nos. 5908 and 5918 in that, owing to the admirable way Survey District 1 in the New in which the campaign is or Territories (Agricultural Lots).ganized, generous support is given to cancer research institutions to be sold by
and to independent workers. I PUBLIC AUCTION.
am glad, too, that the work being carried out includes important research into the cure of cancer as well as into the cause; and it is my earnest and heartfelt hope that advancement may be rapid and that discoveries helping the solution of the problem may made in the near future.
The very successful appeal for the establishment of a cancer re- search centre in connexion with the University of Sydney, New South Wales, resulted in a muni- ficent support of nearly £150,000, and I am pleased to know that an application is before the Grand Council for affiliation from this new Research Centre of our great Dominions, and that a further link may be forged by the inclusion of their representatives on the Grand Council of the British Empire Cancer Campaign
