WAR A6AINST DIPHTHERIA IS FAR m WON Borne States Show Death Rate Gain From Dreaded Disease, Is Report. 9* Kcirnrg Kerrirg WASHINGTON. Feb. I—ln the general rejoicing over the decrease In deaths from diphtheria some of the facts in the situation seem to have been overlooked. The disease Is far from being conquered in spite of the fact that a means of wiping out the disease is at hand and that great progress toward that end has been achieved in some localities. It is something of a shock to learn from the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance CompaiT’ that “there are still a number of states and cities where the diphtheria mortality is today not only atrociously high, but is actually increasing." Their figures show that in 1932 four states registered more than thirteen deaths from diphtheria per 100.000 population. In every one of these states, the diphtheria death rate was much higher than that recorded two years previously. “A summing up of the distinctly Unfavorable aspects of the diphtheria situation shows that there were eighteen states which recorded, in 1932, diphtheria death rates in excess of the average for the United States in that year,” the report States. Situation Getting Worse "In twelve of these states the situation is getting worse instead of better, as is shown by comparison of their 1932 death rates with those recorded two years earlier. Furthermore, in twenty-two of the thirtytwo large cities whose 1932 diphtheria mortality rates were above the average for the country, the 1932 figures were higher than those for 1930." During the ten years from 1922 to 1932, the latest for which cemplete figures are available, the diphtheria death rate in the country at large was reduced nearly 70 per cent. But in Kentucky, West Virginia and Oklahoma the diphtheria death rate of 1932 was nearly as high as the average for the country ten years previously. In New Mexico, which had the highest diphtheria death rate in the country, the 1932 death rate from this disease was actually 34 per cent higher than that of the United States as a whole ten years previously. With the exception of New England, the middle Atlantic and Pacific ccast states, at least one and usually several states of every other section cf the country have diphtheria dath rates that are high and still increasing. No excuse for High Rates There were thirty-two large cities In 1932 which had diphtheria mortality rates above the average for the country. The worst situation was in Knoxville, Tenn., where diphtheria killed seventeen out of every 100.000 inhabitants. Following closely after were Dallas, Tex.; Ft. Worth, lex.; Peoria, 111.; Lowell, Mass., and Oklahoma City, Okla. "It is difficult to understand how whole states and certain cities can justify their administration of the public health facilities to permit the continuance of high and increasing diphtheria rates at the very time when a marked reduction is going on in the country at large, and aU over the civilized world.” the insurance company statisticians observe "Diphtheria would soon be banished altogether if immunization by toxicantitoxin or toxoid were extended to include all susceptible children."
