Swallowing a regret that it should take place on a military level only, one can still examine with interest this approach to accord. The force suggested by the United States to the four other subscribing powers would consist of twenty divisions, 1250 bombers, 2250 pursuit planes, and a variegated complement of assault ships and cruisers.

Even the economy-minded U.S. Congress has recognized the need: the House Appropriations Committee, asked by the Budget Bureau to allow some $11,000,000 to the Public Health Service's Cancer Institute, of its own accord upped the allowance by $6,000,000. The House quickly passed and sent to the Senate a $17,828,200 appropriation-more than all previous Government cancer research appropriations combined...
