UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY MINNEAPOLIS SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY OFFICE OF THE DEAN December 14, 1939 Mr. C. B. Lee, President United States Radium Corporation 535 Pearl Street New York City Dear Mr. Lee: In your letter of December 6 you stated that you had no information regarding the agreement between the Belgian and the Canadian Companies. In a report issued by the Bureau of Mines of the Department of Mines and Resources of Canada in March, 1939, I find the state- ment "An agreement was recently reported as reached between the Eldorado and Belgian companies for sharing world sales on a basis of 40 per cent by the former and 60 per cent by the latter, the agreement to run for a term of 5 years; the price level is not divulged." I would also like to discuss with you some of the questions that arise in the radium industry and hope that I may have an opportunity to see you sometime in the not too distant future. Do you ever get out as far as Chicago? If so, it would not be inconvenient for you to run on up to Minneapolis. With best regards and Season's Greetings. Cordially yours, S.l. Lind. S. C. Lind scl/g
