CAPETOWN. Union of South Africa,
January 2S.-The government yesterday
deported ten labor leaders, including
President Watson and General Secretary

We're put aboard a steamer for England.
This action was taken by virtue of

ton can take place legally Measures
will be taken to prevent the mems return

one-Man Government.

There can be no doubt of the purpose
of President Wilson to make this one
man government of the zone. for in
every part of the executive order it ap-
pears that the authority of the canal gov

President Wilson set out his reasons
for adopting the plan of government pro-
vided for by his order in the following
memorandum:
In constituting and carrying out the
foregoing order l direct that it be done
with the following considerations in
view:

Conclusions Drawn.

From the results obtained SO far, the
Harvard cancer commission draws these
conclusions:
In certain limited cases, treatment by
radium seems to be curative. while in
others. not cured by this agent. local re-
suits are good and such distressing symp-
toms as pain. hemorrhage and discharge
may be greatly benefited. At the pres
ent time. however, the most satisfactory
treatment of cancer is generally admitted
to be the complete removal by surgical
operation at the earliest possible moment.
The best or curative results from ra-
dunn therapy are obtained in cases OF
various skin diseases, including certain
types of skin and other localized forms
of cancer.
I'm rnanv cases of true cancer which
have advanced beyond the operable stage,
or cases recurring following operation.
improvement after radlum treatment may
follow not only symptomatlcailN. out IN
the local condition. such cases. however,
are rarely cured Occasionally large
growths are much reduced and even dis
appear under the influence of radium. but
metastasis. or spreading of the growth
to other parts. is not usually prevented.
or the patient may succumb from fox-
emia during the process of absorption.
Variations Occur.
types of cancer in the same and in differ
ent individuals. In scme cases the entIre
duration of the disease is short months;
in others it MAY last for years. as many
AS twelve or fifteen and there may be
periods of great temporary improvement.
But the fact cannot be too strongly en-
phasized that this varia bility III the nat
ural history of new GroWths may account
for many Of the favorable results sup
poSedlv~ due to therapeutic procedures.
owing to the possible eXaggeration
and msnterpretaton of the result of Ia-
dunn therapy, it is deemed most i'm
portant that ample and accurate clinical
data be secured and the results recorded
in a form suitable for critical analysis.
1t is to obtain such accurate observation
of the effect of radium treatment, to de-
wise new and more effective methods of
administration aud to give to the public

cations that the cancer commission of
