Argument over conjugation of cancer cells 1938

[Not dead yet!]

I stumbled upon this article that amused me very much. It is from 1938, an editorial where a scientist is upset that some people "don't believe in" conjugation of cancer cells. I like how straight out and cards on the table the argument seems to be. I'd like to see more like this today.
