Belgian radium corner sparks price relief call
London officials and hospital authorities accuse Belgium of cornering the world radium supply to keep prices high. They urge a government inquiry into pricing, noting Congo ore costs and distant processing. Experts warn the price could remain at $60,000 per gramme, while highlighting the life saving potential and moral duty to reduce costs. Airplanes are being used to hunt deer in Canada.
