The secondary to primary ratio in galactic cosmic radiation at relativistic momenta is calculated in a model, where the primaries are continuously accelerated from the thermal galactic background medium by 1st and 2nd order Fermi acceleration. It is shown that the measured decrease with momentum does not exclude that cosmic rays are accelerated in the interstellar medium as a whole. Once a momentum dependence of the mean lifetime and the different spatial source distributions are adequately taken into account, the measured decreasing ratio can be explained.
