On May 16 Mr. Roosevelt issued an appeal to fifty-four heads governments in which he said:

"If any strong nation refuses to join with genuine sincerity ‘in these concerted efforts for political and economic peace. progress can be obstructed and ultimately blocked. In such event the civilized world. seeking both forms of peace, will know ivhero the responsibility for failure lies. I urge that no nation assume such a responsibility. and that all the nations translate the professed policies into action."

Japan is the first of the Far East- ern nations to take advantage of its low living costs in invading the industrial markets of the west.

Thus treatment must be given with extreme care, so as not to damage good tissue. _ However the lesson for us all is that the unsightly cancers in the face and other parts of the surface of the body can now be definitely cured in practically all cases if the patient goes or is sent early enough to a physician or hospital special- izlng in the use of radium.
