Furthermore, he announced that his policy contemplates aa a public duty," a big fight to prevent radium monopolization. Conditions Are Alarming.

T was alarmed in my investigation when I discovered that 75 per cent of the radium is made In this country and we have now only two grams here. I found, too, that we are sending this radium across the water and are forced tc buy back. The second danger was that there would be a monopoly of the lands and radium. It seems to me that it is manifestly my duty of inaugurate a movement to prevent this. This resolution only means with drawal from exploitation of private in terests, so that these lands might not be held out against the interests of our people.
