provo a great asset in Imperial defaces. Au to the general reception of my report in Australia I am unable to form an opinion, as the details were only known on the day

of may departure, but, so far as I could judge at the time I left, the view taken was a favour able one. The Ministers of the Commonwealth with when I came in contact appeared to be plona ed with the scheme, and, judging the newspaper comments I sw, the Press was not unfavourable. In preparing my report had to start from the basis of the safety of Australia and the wolfare of the Empire. These word the sin questiova involved, and in:

Dr. Bashford, who has just been awarded the Walker Prize of 100 by the Royal College of Sargeans for the best original work on the pathology and therapeuties of cancer, takes

most hopeful view of the outcome of the experiments et prosoat being carried on with a riew to the elimination of one of the most dreaded of human scourges.

The investigations of the Cancer Rosearch Fand, which was founded on the initiative of the late King Edward, have acquired a world- id extent on the incidence of cancer in front races of mankind, living under na

conditions,

it Occurregos throughout the entire animal kingdom, and have had an important bearing upon the statistics of cancer as embodied in the reports of the Registrar-General.

Perhaps, however, the part of the investiga tious which has commanded attention not only at home hat throughout the world has been the extent to which the experimental investigation of Cauder has been developed by Dr. Bashford, and in that respect he must be regarded as the founder of experimental cancer investigation in Englari..

Asked regarding the new situation in the Pasifle, Admiral Henderson replied This would appear to trench upon political consid-aid Dr. Bashford, have arrowed down the The investigations of the past ten years," orations, iuto a discussion of which I must decline to be drawn, but there can be no doubt possible.

A GIGANTIC PROJECT. Beferring to the muit heads of his project, Admiral Henderson said: The complete scheme covers a period of treaty-two years, and is band up the population nad comras

of the Commonwealth in comparison with the rest of the Empire. It provides for a flest of fifty-two vessala, costing about £23,000,000, a personnel of some 15,000 men, an expenditure of £17,000,000 on docks.

and stores, the grand total or projected expenditure amounting to £88,500. 000 The proposed fleet is to bo divided into two divisions, with four bases for the eastern division and three for the western. With regard to the pervonnal, before the expiration of the period of twenty-two years, the Common- wealth would have Australian trained sapior offe, or available and junior oficers at a much earlior date, but until then the Commonwealth must draw upon the Admiralty for the loan of offlears and men

As to the naval inses, the chief will bo Sydney and Frontlo.

Speaking of the decision of Victoria to estab. tire shipbuilding yards at Williamstown, the Admiral said. The only place where as yet there has heon any great attempt to meet marine requirements is Sydney, but it is satisfactory to

FUTURE INVESTIGATION.

It may be that futuro investigation will show that a corresponding diminution in the frequency of cancer as it occurs in England-un- der the present conditions of existence may also be dizainished by avoiding insults to which at the present time the banan body is subjected in the course of following occupations, or, it may be, indulging in various whims of the appetite.
