INTEREST IN VISIT The visit is stirring up consider- able interest in the press. The "Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" yesterday published a long article on Dr. Kung, who, the paper says. has stood unswervingly by the side of his brother-in-law. General

'Chiang Kai-shek, who in 1927 raised the standard of the Chinese Republic.

The paper pays tribute to the financial genius of Dr. Kung and Mr. T. V. Soong, and recalls the latter's solution of the Chinese financial crisis.

Dr. Kung, says the paper. fooled the pessimists, though he is still aware of the difficulties confront ing him."

The paper recalls Dr. Kung's appeals for Sino-German co-opera- tion, which had been realised in railway and other development

PATCHED UP LIVES

Need For Control Of

Tuberculosis

"Lives that are merely patched up are not good begetters of chil dren for the next generation, and the more patched up lives you save, the greater risk you run. It is not an argument for not doing Justice to the full to the patched up life, but it is a case for doing everything to separate the case that could be cured from that which could only be patched up." Lord Dawson of Penn' made this statement recently at a three-day conference on the care of the tuberculous. The conference had been opened at Overseas House by Sir Kingsley Wood.

'Physical fitness," said Lord Dawson, "will not be produced only by change of environment. We want the best to be made out of each life as it is born. You are not going to convert duckings in- ̈ to chickens.

"If we are to have a t race, the care and after-care of an open case of tuberculosis is not only an act of mercy to the unfortunate individual, but a necessity' for the health of the community.

"The growth of knowledge and social consciousness in recent generations have led to the saving of many lives, but we must not forget that herein lies a dangèr for the future of the race."

Bir Kingsley Wood said that statistics showed a continuing de- cline in the ravages of tuberculosis, but, added, This should not obscure the fact that tuberculosis is still next to cancer on the list of killing diseases."
