WHY NOT OFFER REWARD?

The fight against the withdrawal of
lands containing radium ore is still
being waged, but with apparently lit
tie hope.
Just why the government should
urge the withdrawal of these lands is
a thing hard to understand. Instead
of withdrawing such lands and thus
cutting off the chance of radium pro
duction-if, as is declared, radium Is
wanted-the government should offer
a reward for its discovery ard produc
ton, and should afford all other pos
sible aid in a home market and home
treatment.
With boon such as radium is sus
pected to be in disease treatment,
and with but an ounce or two in ex-
istence, the matter of conserving its
supply would seem to be the last
thing to be thought of, rather than
the first thing to be suggested.
At the very best, the production of
radium must be entirely too slow to
meet more than an infinitesimal part
of the requirements. Unless the
science of production should be de-
veloped in some unexpected manner,
no adequate supply will ever come
into existence.
1t therefore looks unwise for any
thing to be done to check its produc-
ton just at time when attention is
bapipniup to ha draUp and come LITTLE
effort being made to mine the ores
containing it, and SO far as has yet
been discovered, in the most micro
scopic quantities. To do this at this
time would unquestionably prove SO
monstrous a blunder that future
administration would at once see the
necessity of remedying the matter by
repeating the Act.
But in the meantime the years
intervening would prohibit prospect
ing, would check development and
tS~oduction, and to that extent clog
the wheels of progress of this in
dustry.
The motto of this country should
If we have a marvellous treasure in
our radium fields, let the substance
he developed and the people be given
the benefit. Why do thing that will
be calculated to keep it scarce and
out of the reach of the suffering
masses?
And this effort to withdraw radium
jands-and as certainly check radium
productions being undertaken upon
the part of the government at time
when medical science says it will
cure not only cancer but tuberculo-
sis; at a time when philanthropists
of the world are offering millions to
that end when the Red Cross and the
people are contributing millions more
in the dimes of the poor to aid or
alleviate the sufferings of the stricken
thousands in every state and every
nation.
How wrong it seems; what an in
famous blunder it would appear, to
really do this foolish and untimely
thing.
One of the newest reports on the
radium situation is that the govern
ment will not withdraw radium lands
but will seek to control the output
of radium, which is even more farci-
cal than the withdrawal of the lands.
