PROTECT RADIUM
FOR PUBLIC GOOD
Secretary Lane to Withdraw
All Lands Suspected of Con-
tanning Valuable Metal.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Secretary
Lane proposes to withdraw all lands
in the public domain suspected of con-
tafnfng radium. that the precious de
posits may be secured for the public
good, and not become subject of pri-
vate speculation. Radium is invalu-
able in medicine.
Investigations by the geological sur
vey located public lands believed to
contain radium. "Radium is valued
at 100000 a gram" said Lane. There
are only two grams at present in the
United States. All have been pro-
cured from Europe. Three-fourths of
the radium produced in the world in
the year 1912 came from American
ores. yet we, up TO this time, have
taken no steps whatever to preserve
for our own people this invaluable
metal" Radium is known to be ef-
fective in the treatment of cancer.

THE POINT AT TSSEF Il,

President TAFT IL wrong, The objection TO
submitting the Panama toll question TO arbi-
tration ia not founded on the fear OF losing
III is based on the self-respect OF the Ameri
can people.
II is true that all the world is the party
Of one part to the disag reemant and the United
States is the party OF the other part and that
reference Of the question to a board Of srbt
ratton would be reference 30 one of the
parties at interest, but that is not the only.
nor even the chief objection. to submission.
In Is merely this: the question at issue is an
internal question.
The United States has coded the points OF
international issue and Great Britain Is n1u,
seeking to have this government submit 10 ar
bitration the question OF what action the
United States shall take on a question Of in
terual policy. Great Britain has practically
admitted that 20 allow American vessels en-
gagged in coastwiss commerce exemption from
tolls is no violation OF treaty rights, but claims
that the United States government Is unable TO
Iconhne toll exemption 70 such vessels. that wa
Icannot prevent vessels engaged In foreign com
Imerce from securing exemption. though we
grant II only TO those engaged TN ooastwise
trade. In other words. Great Britain presumes
to tell lis that we cannot control own at
fairs; that cannot compel ohedience TO our
Iewn laws.
Possibly not We have failed in the past
as every other nation has failed, but that is
our lookout. Whenever we permit violations
Of our laws, which result In an infringement
Of the treaty rights of Great Britain. then will
be the. time for Great Britain TO protest, 1t
s insolence for that country to insist on arbi-
tration or the theory that these laws will be
violated, and that is practically what Great
Britain Ia now doing
To submit the question 10 arbitration would
not be in consonance with our sef-respect.
