DIFFER AS TO
RADIUM CONTROL
DR.. George Otis Smith and the
Younger Element IndOrSe
Proposal Made by Sc
Cretary Lane

PRINCETON, Jan. 1.-Radium has
been one of the most-talked-of mat
ters at the annual meetings of the
Geological Society Of America and
the archaeological Society, now in
session at Princeton University. A
divided opinion exists among the
country's greatest geologists as TO the
adyisability Of the government taking
over the radium producing lands in
the West as suggested by Secretary
Lane. In fact. the differences are so
marked that the matter may not be
brought up for an official vote.
Chief among the supporters of the
humanitarian work of the govern
ment is DR.. George Otis Smith. director
Of the United States Geological Sur
vey. He and the majority OF the
younger scientists strongly uphold
the action of Secretary Lane and be-
lieve that the plan Of DR.. Howard A.
( Kelly Of Johns Hopkins University, to
place radiur at the service of hui
manity for treatment of cancer, is
function of the government.
Smith for =. =. Control.
Director Smith made the following
statement regarding the matter yes
terday:
Secretary Lanes proposal for
legislation Is In line VII con-
gressional action of last three
years in authorizing executive
control of the tons most es-
sential resources. and il is a rec
ognition that radium has become
one of I 9 mineral resources
whose real value is not measured
by its rarity, Jut by its vital use
fulness to mankind.
Legislation is needed to stop
the alienation of the deposits still
in public vnership, and in the
case Of radium ores. public opera
ton may be tho logical move If
America is to hfve first claim on
the benefit of its owr resources.
The Geo'~~'cal Survey las
made field examination, and is
ready to recommend tracts for
withdrawal when Congre au-
thorizes the President to make
Withdrawals of lands valuable FOR
the Radium content.
On the other side stand the olde
scientists who look upon Secretar
Lanes plan purely as a political es
pedient and in line with the Demo,
, rratic plan Of government OWNERSHIP
On this side are Dr. Eugene A. Smitl
president of the American Ceologists
DR.. j. j. Stevenson, ex-secretary
the society; Richard r. Hice, PenI
sylvania State geologist. and man
others. These men object to the pla
purely for political reasons.
