"At present those who have radium
are forced to the awful alternative of
selecting among the patients on whom
it will be used. InasmUch as authorities
have estimated that one person out of
ten in the United States over so years
old suffers from cancer, it would appear
to be difficult to overestimate the ne
cessity for securing Immediately as large
a supply as possible of this mysterious
remedy, and especially is this burden cast
upon this country, wherein thus far have
been found the largest deposits of those
interals in which it is borne.
"Under all these circumstances, it
seems to me that the only prudent
course that the United States can follow
is to withdraw from public entry such
of its lands as are supposed to contain
radium."
