Blind man's buff is an expensive game
to play with alloy steels. It is safer to
go directly to the steel that will give the
best performance at the lowest cost per
finished part.
Molybdenum steels have shown time and
again that they will provide consistently
good properties at surprisingly low cost.
Even their impact strength is consistent
because they are not temper brittle.

JUST A SAMPLE OF SOME OF THE THINGS
A MINES MAN DOES
F r o m V I N C E N T D . B A R T H , E X - ' 4 1 , Battelle Memorial
Institute,
Columbus,
Ohio.
T h a n k s f o r your letter of recent date and i n answer to your request f o r an outline of
my progress at Battelle where you placed me i n October 1947, I am g i v i n g a thumbnail
sketch —
In the summer of 1948, I studied f o r and passed the State of Ohio's professional
metallurgical engineer's test, and now have a license to hang over my desk. T h e test was
two f u l l days long. It was something of a job to remember some of the stuif we had In
school. I n the s p r i n g of '48 I completed a public speaking course g i v e n by Battelle but,
unfortunately, am still not an accomplished public speaker. I n the f a l l , winter, and
spring of 1948-1949, I took integral and d l i f e r e n t i a l calculus again at Ohio State U n i v e r sity i n order to "brush up." Last f a l l and winter I took graduate courses i n mechanical
metallurgy and " T h e o r y of M e t a l s . " (These were evening school courses.)
A t Battelle, 1 have worked on a number of research problems, the most difficult being
to make zinc as corrosion resistant as stainless steel. T h e most successful work has been
on "salt bath chromizing." I wrote a paper on this research w h i c h was published in the
October 1949, J o u r n a l of the Electrochemical Society, Campbell and Gouser, whose
names also appear, are ray supervisors. T h i s paper won the T u r n e r p r i z e of the Electrochemical Society this spring. M u c h research, of course, doesn't come out so w e l l .
W e i l , that's most of w h a t has happened here. I haven't set the w o r l d on fire, and
probably never w i l l , but I have enjoyed d o i n g the above,
F r a n k Stephens, '42, circulates The Oredigger
among the A l u m n i . I w o r k i n the
same department w i t h D w a y n e D a y , '47; every now a n d then I see R o l a n d Fischer, '42,
Bob M e r r i t t , '48, B o b K e s l e r , H8, a n d Bob Eisner, '48, a l l good Mines Men. I saw R a y
Schatz, '35, a couple of days ago.
Our local group hasn't done miich lately because I ' m a f r a i d we a l i allow ourselves
to get swamped w i t h other things that must be done (or at least we think they have to
be done). W e d i d get together recently f o r pictures a n d a talk on scaling the face of
Long's Peak,
W e a l l hope that some day Battelle w i l l be moved to Denver, but the Institute is
constructing more buildings here so I guess we w i l l have to settle f o r Columbus f o r the
time being.
If you see C a r v e r E i l i s or J i m Colasanti, please g i v e them my regards, a n d thanks
again.

Fact-Finding Conclusions Misleading
Fact-finding is an operation w i t h
which metallurgists are f a m i l i a r . T h e
process as applied w i t h i n their normal
sphere of activity is not simple or easy,
and technical data admittedly do require interpretation. T r a n s f e r the
metallurgical mind to the areas of
economics and you w i l l usually find
attempts to employ methods of reasoning to which that m i n d has become
accustomed in the regions of a more
exact science. T h e deductions which
f o l l o w the reasoning may or may not
agree in kind w i t h those of the economist, but the chances are that they
w i l l not be at variance w i t h the facts,
insofar as the facts are ascertainable.
Perhaps the f o r m a l discussion of economic subjects should be left mostly,
if not entirely, to the economists. I ' h e y
are not all of one mind, and engage
in lively debates f o r our enlightenment. H o w e v e r , since the welfare and
prosperity of industry is of direct concern to each and every technologist
whose livelihood is derived f r o m the
practice of his profession, there is no
reason w h y the metallurgist should
not thinic about a l l pertinent economic
factors and cr3'stallize his views i n
regard to them. T h e y are of immense
importance to him as a member of
industry, and as a good citizen of the
country.
A f e w months ago, an able factfinding board reported that a wage
increase in the steel industry, w h i c h
presumably w o u l d cost the employer
about ten cents per man-hour, was
inadvisable, as it w o u l d operate as an
undesirable and h a r m f u l inflationary
factor in the national economy. A t
the same time, the granting of pensions and social benefits w h i c h w o u l d
cost the 'employer about the same ten
cents per hour was recommended as
favorable and immediately desirable.
Now
may we go to the metallurgical field and see whether we can
apply an analogous line of reasoning.
*Aii address before a Meeting of the Calumet
Ch.ipter, American Society for Metals, Hammotid,
Indiana, February 14, !9S0.
8
Suppose the metallurgical fact-finding
board in a fabricating plant stated
that a proposed heat treatment of a
certain steel product at a temperature
of 1832 degrees Fahrenheit f o r a period of fifteen minutes w o u l d be undesirable, but that a procedure calling
for
a temperature of 1000 degrees
Centigrade for a quarter of an hour
w o u l d be favorable, w o u l d you consider the recommendation reasonable
and v a l i d ?
T h i s instance is cited only to illustrate the contrast in methods of reasoning and of d r a w i n g conclusions
f r o m data, as employed by different
minds w h i c h have different objectives,
as w e l l as different training. T h e accent, most likely, is on the different
obj ectives.
T h u s it happens that the so-called
economic problems of an industry may
be more difficult to handle rationally
than its technical problems. T h e r e are
economic considerations w h i c h do not
involve much metallurgj', but there
are f e w technological problems w h i c h
do not involve a deal of economics.
Future Supply of Iron O r e
In the steel industry, one of the
very interesting current
problems
which is weighted w i t h both technology and economics is the matter of
providing f o r an adequate and continuing supply of iron ore, long into
the future. O u r remaining domestic
deposits of high grade low-cost ore
are being consumed at a rate which
prescribes an earnest search for replacements, sufficient to meet requirements as they develop.
T h e great furnaces, mills, and auxiliary producing facilities now in existence i n the U n i t e d States, and
which have cost many billions of dollars, must somehow he assured of an
ample feed of r a w materials, if they
are to function and maintain any reasonable portion of their value. T h i s
easily recognizable fact has prompted
various units of the steel industry to
attack the problem in good time, w i t h
the substantial expenditure of thought,
talent, and money, so that practical
answers to the question of an ore supply may be forthcoming.
Enterprises on a large scale are
afoot i n Canada, South America, and
A f r i c a , to contribute a consequential
share of the answers. Such projects
require money, — large sums of
money, — f o r they involve not only
THE
exploration, testing, and the development of brand new mines "out of
face," but extensive facilities for transportation as w e l l . I n the aggregate,
the companies engaged in prosecuting
these activities must be prepared to
multiply one hundred m i l l i o n dollars
in outgo many times over to arrive at
the eventual f u l f i l l m e n t of their plans
and purposes.
T h e r e are good and sufficient reasons f o r developing these distant high
grade ore bodies, w h i c h promise to
augment
increasingly the
normal
needs of the industry. T h e r e are compelling reasons for doing more than
that. Strategically, or f r o m the standpoint of national security and selfsufficiency, it is prudent, and little if
any less than imperative that our i m mense reserves of lower-grade iron
ore be brought into the position of
ready availability. If, through any
unhappy turn in w o r l d affairs, conditions should eventuate w h i c h w o u l d
impair the delivery of imported ores,
f u l l recourse to domestic supplies
w o u l d at once be indicated.
Taconite Creates C o m p l e x Problem
T h e r e i n lies another aspect of an
important technical and economic
problem, of critical concern, which
has been receiving serious attention
f r o m the steel industry. T h e much
discussed taconite deposits constitute
our enormous reserve of relatively
low
grade iron ore, and must be benefsciated prior to ready use i n orthodox
metallurgical equipment. W e r e taconite a u n i f o r m substance both physically and chemically, instead of a mixture varying widely i n structure and
composition f r o m place to place, the
task of producing usable iron ore f r o m
it w o u l d be greatly simplified.
As
the matter stands, however, a
vast amount of research w o r k is being
done and must continue, i n order that
the most economical methods of concentration and utilization of this irregular material may be found. Present indications are that one single
method of beneficiation w i l l not meet
all of the different requirements, and
that one type of plant for the treatment w i l l not answer the needs of all
sections of the extensive deposit. So

C l i m a x i n g tlie twenty-lifth anniversary
o£ the N a t i o n a l Safety Competition, tlie
country's mineral industries attained i n
1949 the best safety record in the history
of the contest, the U , S. B u r e a u of M i n e s
has announced.
In n a m i n g the silver anniversary w i n ners nf the coveted Sentinels of Safety
trophies to the plants that achieved top
honors i n safety, the Bnreau of M i n e s
reported that 202 mines and quarries had
i n j u r y - f r e e records last year.
The
N a t i o n a l Safety Competition was
started i n 1925 by the B u r e a u of M i n e s
upon the recommendation of f o r m e r P r e s i dent Herbert Hoover, then serving as
Secretary of Commerce. In commending
the 19+9 winners M r . Hoover states:
"I have never ceased to be proud of
the N a t i o n a l Safety Competition ever
since I had a hand i n the matter twentyfive years ago.
"The
annual trophy has given mark
and
distinction to the winners. B u t of
even more importance is the stimulation
the a w a r d has g i v e n to accomplishment
in safety.
"1 consider it a great privilege to congratulate each of its winners. Y o u have
done an outstanding service to your f e l l o w
workers."
B e g i n n i n g this month mineral operations w i t h the best safety records i n each
of the six groups i n the competition w i l l
receive national recognition as leaders i n
mine and q u a r i y safety. T h e 1949 winners
achieving top safety honors i n their respective groups w i l l be awarded bronze
Sentinels of Safety trophies and the Sentinel of Safety flags by the Explosives E n g i neer magazine. A n i n d i v i d u a l Certificate
of Achievement of Safety w i l l be presented by the B u r e a u of M i n e s to each
man
i n the w i n n i n g plants.
The
1949 winners of the Sentinels of
Safety trophies are:
Anthracite M i n e s : Stevens S h a f t M i n e ,
Kehoe - Berge C o a l Company, Exeter,
Pennsylvania.
Bituminous-Coal M i n e s : Keliance N o .

The
increased interest i n these annua!
safety competitions is indicated by the record
enrollment of 646 mines and quarries
in the 1949 contest, Forrest T . M o y e r , of
the B u r e a u of Mines, states. M r . M o y e r is
chief of the Accident Analysis B r a n c h of
the B u r e a u . " T h i s entry list was more
than triple the enrollment in the first competition i n 1925," he reports. " A l s o , it
represents an increase of 137 plants over
the number that participated i n the previous year, 1948."
The
worktime at the 646 plants enrolled
in the 1949 contest totaled more than 146
m i l l i o n man-hours. Last year's i n j u r y severity rate of 5.56 days lost per thousand man-hours of work was more f a v o r able by a w i d e m a r g i n than i n any other
year since the competition began i n 1925.

Devaluation is a two-dollar w o r d
for a 20th C e n t u r y refinement of
"coin clipping." Y o u may recall how,
in olden times, kings used to shave
gold coins so as to acquire sufficient
gold w i t h which to replenish their depleted treasuries, and to keep up the
standard of l i v i n g to which they felt
royalty was entitled. Expenditures of
royalty i n those days were not, be it
noted, on "social w e l f a r e . " T h e y were
more apt to be expenditures on the
royal establishment itself.
Strange
how persistent is the habit of government extravagance! B u t I am digressing.

an article entitled " H i g h S i l v e r , " by
Jerome Beatt}'. T h i s article is headed
by the statement, " F o r every silver
article you purchase, f r o m a r o l l of

to six W e s t e r n states i n the silver bloc.
H e r e is a report on a legalized national holdup that hits the pocket of
every taxpayer and consumer." A s
this heading indicates, the article is
propaganda i n behalf of Eastern silverware manufacturers who want
cheaper silver at the expense of the
W e s t e r n metal miner.
L a s t month, H a r p e r ' s M a g a z i n e
contained a similar article by D r ,
M o r r i s E . Garnsey, an economist at
our o w n U n i v e r s i t y of Colorado. B o t h
articles assume the U n i t e d States is
paying the silver miner more than his
product is actually w o r t h . B o t h articles imply the U n i t e d States should
dump its silver reserves on the market, and cease buying silver.
Neither
article informs
the readers that
this
has been cojmnon practice
throughout
the world whenever
selfish
interests
were desirous of artificially
breaking
the price of silver.

O n l y last summer, the price of silver i n I n d i a rose to $1.55 an ounce:
whereupon, fifteen m i l l i o n ounces of
the silver reserve of the government
of H y d e r a b a d were dumped on the
market to break the price of silver to
95c an ounce.
Mining Industry in
Desperate C o n d i t i o n
I could devote an entire evening in
answer to D r . Garnsey and M r .
Beatty, but silver is only a part of the
picture. It is high time the desperate
condition of the A m e r i c a n m i n i n g i n dustry was squarely placed before the
people of our W e s t e r n states. I n the
last ten years, 933 or 8 0 % of a l l the
producing metal mines i n Colorado
have been closed down. O n l y about
2000 of the 8200 metal mines which
were operating i n the eleven W e s t e r n
states in 1940, remain open. M a n y of
these w i l l soon be compelled to close.
T h e 1950 convention of the C o l o rado M i n i n g Association t r u l y called
the condition of the industry a national disaster. It pointed out that
metal m i n i n g w o u l d soon be finished
in this country. I n the future, i n times
of peace, we w i l l be compelled to pay
high prices f o r foreign copper, lead,
zinc and other base metals, without
which our present standard of l i v i n g
cannot be maintained. Since there ivill
he little or no covipetition
from domestic 7tietal mining, and since there
is no world-wide
anti-trust
laiu, foreign dictatorships,
cartels and
trusts
will demand high prices for the metals
required for making atitotnobiles,
radios and the host of other gadgets and
appliances we now use and enjoy. O u t (Continued

Devaluation is a lot more subtle
than coin clipping, f o r there is no
visible mutilation of a devalued currency. Devaluation is a devilishly i n genious invention of the European
planners and comparatively recent as
w e l l . I n fact, I looked through our
large office copy of F u n k & W a g n a l l s '
dictionary f o r a definition of the term,
and, to m y astonishment, could find
no trace of the w o r d "devaluation," I
noted the age of the dictionary and
found it was a 1937 edition. A p p a r ently recognition of this new banking
term occurred sometime during the
last ten years.
Devaluation & Effects
H o w is devaluation distinct f r o m
coin clipping? M a i n l y , i n that devaluation relates particularly to the external exchangeability of a currency,
rather than to its internal value. A
country on a paper standard, as most
countries are nowadays, may devalue
simply by announcing that the exchange value of its currency in relation
to the dollar, as of a certain moment,
is officially altered. T h a t is what E n g land did on September 19, 1949, when
it officially declared that the pound
N o w , w h y did E n g l a n d do i t ?
Chiefly because it wished to use the
instrumentality of currency devaluation to stimulate export trade to us and
thereby procure more dollars. T h e action was directed at us, and, as I read
press accounts, was even encouraged
by some of our government authorities.
Inasmuch as devaluation of a country's
currency cannot readily be done so
that only two countries participate,
but has to he done on a unilateral
basis whereby everyone is alSected, it
must be obvious that the reason other
European countries immediately took
action after B r i t i s h devaluation was
because they did not wish to be
flooded by B r i t i s h merchandise to the
detriment of their o w n domestic economies. T h e i r o w n devaluation was
merely self-protection so far as they
were concerned.
Devaluation
is peculiar, because its
effects cannot he clearly foreseen. N o
one can predict w i t h any certainty
that devaluation w i l l bring about the
results its proponents proclaim. T h e r e fore, we must avoid too much simplification in trying to analyze the probable results, but I think we can develop a f e w facts which w i l l indicate
that devaluation is a serious blow to
the m i n i n g and agricultural interests
of the U n i t e d States.
T h e first thing to be noted is the
fact that devaluation does not i m mediately affect the domestic purchasing power of a devalued currency.
T h e people of G r e a t B r i t a i n go about
their business the day after devaluation w i t h the same currency in their
pockets as they had before, and w i l l
probably find that the items that have
increased i n cost quite materiallj' are
only those imported f r o m countries
that have not devalued, like the U n i t e d
States. F o r example, American t^'pewriters, automobiles, and apples w i l l
cost them more. T h i s naturally dis-

courages the importation of merchandise f r o m the U n i t e d States-—^which
is exactly what devaluation is intended
to do. Inasmuch as E n g l a n d has to i m port heavily i n order to live, and some
of its r a w materials must come f r o m
areas that have not devalued, their
internal manufacturing costs must
slowly rise, and ultimately the i n tended effect of devaluation w i l l wear
off.
G a i n by Sterling A r e a Countries
I n the meantime. Great B r i t a i n and
a l l the Sterling area countries have
benefitted themselves greatly by devaluation, because any natural resource produced locally, such as agricultural commodities and minerals,
can be produced for some time to come
w i t h little or no increase i n the cost
of production, and can be sold i n the
U n i t e d States at prices which w i l l
provide a handsome return. L e t me
illustrate M'ith a simple example. C o n sider South A f r i c a , an important m i n eral producing region, {the same p r i n ciple applies to Australia, B u r m a and
to other mineral-producing areas of
the British E m p i r e ) ;
T h e old Sterling rate f o r the South
A f r i c a n pound was $4.03.
T h e new South A f r i c a n Sterling
rate is $2.80, or 3 0 . 5 % lower.
I n a 12^^ lead market, the net N e w
Y o r k price to a foreign producer is
12<^ minus the duty of 1.06f^, or
10,94^ per lb., which is equivalent to
$10.94 per hundred.
O n the old basis, $10,94 was w o r t h
£ 2 . 7 South A f r i c a n . O n the new basis,
$10.94 is equivalent to £ 3 . 9 South
African,
G a i n for Foreign Miner —
Loss for U.S. Miner
T h i s corresponds to an increase of
roughly 4 2 % i n the income of a South
A f r i c a n lead producer w h o sells his
output i n the U n i t e d States.
N o one can blame the South A f r i c a n
mineral producer for being gratified
at such a handsome increase i n his
proceeds, and, consequently, for d i recting his production this way.
N o w let us examine the manner i n
which the South A f r i c a n producer appraises the effect of devaluation upon
his o w n operations. Assume he has
the same cost of production before and
after devaluation —- a reasonable ass u m p t i o n — then he gets more of a ret u r n i n a 12?i lead market after devaluation than i n a 15^5 market before
devaluation. H e r e is the simple arithmetic i n v o l v e d :
In a 15^5 N e w Y o r k lead market:
15 — 1.06— 13.94, or .$13.94 per 100 I b s . = £ 3 . 5 at the $4.03 rate f o r Sterling
(The tarife is 1.06^)
In a 12^ N e w Y o r k lead market;
12 — 1 . 0 6 = 10.94, or $10.94 per 100 lbs. = £ 3 . 9 at the $2.80 rate f o r Sterling.
i3
T h e proceeds are therefore greater
i n a 12^ lead market than i n a 15^^
market, thanks to devaluation, and i n dicate why the favored foreign producer can mine competitively lowergrade ore than we can.
T h e r e is still another way of looking at the result, which I have not yet
seen developed in devaluation comments, but it is the fact that the B r i t ish devaluation is equivalent not only
to a complete eradication of the reduced tariff protection accorded lead
of 1.06^ per pound, but to a bonus of
roughly 2i4^ additional to the South
A f r i c a n producer. I w i l l show you
how this is brought about.
T h e difference between the proceeds f r o m the sale of 100* pounds of
lead at 12^ per pound N e w Y o r k on
the new Sterling basis, as compared
w i t h the proceeds on the old Sterling
basis is 1.2 pounds Sterling, South
A f r i c a n , which is equivalent to approximately 3-l/3f5 per pound. In
other words, 3-1/3^, less the tariff of

is tariff reduction w i t h a vengeance,
and explains succinctly w h y the I n ternational M o n e t a r y F u n d was organized only a f e w years ago. It was
established mainly to discourage or
prevent the use of international currency juggling, or devaluation, as a
commercial trade weapon, and the reason must he clear to you f r o m our
own experience. Doesn't it s e e m
strange that only a f e w years after the
F u n d was founded, it openly tolerates
such international monetary manipulation?
If we were now to determine the
effect of devaluation on the domestic
zinc market, we w o u l d reach a conclusion similar to that f o r lead, i.e.,
devaluation goes f a r beyond the effect
of complete tariff elimination, and that
the recent British devaluation—as f o r
lead •—• is equivalent to a subsidy to
some foreign producers of a b o u t
2^4^ per pound, i n addition to the
elimination of the tariff of .S75(^ per
pound. A l r e a d y a sizeable tonnage of
zinc is moving to our shores f r o m a
country that has devalued to the same
extent as G r e a t B r i t a i n , hut which
normally w o u l d go to Europe.
U. S. Producers N e e d Protection
These brief analyses show you w h j '
I feel it is desirable and necessary f o r
both the lead mining and z i n c m i n i n g
industries, and others, to raise their
voices i n emphatic protest over the
u n f a i r treatment they receive under
devaluation, and to request compensatory relief.
N o w the pity of it a l l is that devaluation is simpljj- not a cure for the
disease of trade maladjustment (and
for the so-called " d o l l a r shortage"),
A good many phoney words have been
14
coined these days by very clever people, and one must penetrate below the
surface to grasp their significance. O n e
of these terms is "dollar shortage,"
N o one ever heard of such a thing as
dollar shortage a f e w years ago. It
makes us appear as mean and stingy
Americans, to be so inconsiderate as
to let any one country be short of dollars.
It used to be that currencies were
traded i n wide open or free markets,
just as lead is today. People could
judge real currency values accordingly. Nowadays, however, w i t h rigid
foreign exchange control, multiple exchange rates, blocked currencies, export quotas, import quotas, and a l l
the other paraphernalia of 20th Century economic planning, the good old
free market has been thrust aside f o r
most foreign excliange. Instead, many
foreign governments so regulate foreign exchange rates that their currencies w i l l be maintained at whatever
rates the governments dictate. T h e n ,
if other countries and merchants i n i n ternational trade won't f a l l in line and
recognize their rates, they are accused
of creating a dollar shortage or other
currency shortage.
T h e system is part of a managed
currency arrangement, developed i n
Europe i n the 20th Century, that was
alleged to be far superior to the gold
standard. All it seems to have done
is to create more confusion and to require more international conferences
in order to pass more rules and regulations to cure artificially created commercial situations such as the inability
of E n g l a n d to do a l l the exporting it
wants to do, at the price it wants to
obtain. M a n a g e d currencies might be
all right if there were any brain sufficiently wise to make the difficult decisions of management—but it is beyond human capacity. B u t , more i m portant—I don't think the vast power
of currency management should be
put i n the hands of any one person or
group. I have given you enough of m y
ideas "to indicate that I am a strong believer in a free market, f o r I think that
a great many of our national and i n ternational ailments can be cured
much quicker by a free market than
by any government regulatory commission.
D o you remember the lead shortage
a year ago? A lot of people were campaigning f o r continued suspension of
the lead tariff, and a f e w suggested
direct government intervention i n our
industry to bring about a cure. Some
of us i n the East felt this was not only
unnecessary, but objectionable, and
that a free m a r k e t alone w o u l d
bring about a cure speedier than any
expedient. T h a t is exactly what happened.
Subsidy Means Government
Regulation
One reason w h y i n m y previous appearances before you I have counselled
caution in rushing to the government
for subsidy assistance, is that I felt
subsidies w o u l d be accompanied by
severe compulsory curtailment of our
liberty of operation, m i l d at the start,
but growing steadily tighter, I am
convinced more than ever that this
is so.
O n e has only to look at what is
happening to agriculture to see the
handwriting on the w a l l . T h e farmers
may have had a fine time of it for
a f e w years through the operation of
government regulations w h i c h have
purchased their surplus production
and have kept the price of f a r m products very high. O n l y now are tbey
going to begin to pay the price the
government must exact, because the
government possesses huge, u n w i e l d l y
and embarrassing surpluses. Production curbs, m i l d to strict, are reported
certain to be slapped on seven m a j o r
crops, possibly n i n e : grain, wheat, cotton, tobacco, peanuts, rice and potatoes—crops that accounted f o r about
5 5 % of a l l f a r m and field acreage
last year. Soy beans and dry edible
beans may also get the axe. I read recently that cutbacks on the m a j o r
seven crops may add up to 32,000,000
acres, which is a vaster area of f a r m
land than was planted i n 1949 f o r
the entire national cotton crop. It is
twice as big as the total f a r m acreage
in a l l N e w E n g l a n d .
Already, four billion dollars of the
taxpayers' funds are tied up i n troublesome f a r m surpluses which nobody has
the heart to destroy, especially after
our experience w i t h the l i t t l e piggies
in W a l l a c e ' s daj^ If .the government
tries to " d u m p " them abroad, it w i l l
depress foreign markets and generate
hostility. W h a t a mess! A n d yet many
of the mining industry want subsidies
for metals. Incidentally, f o u r billion
dollars is bigger than the N a t i o n a l
Government's entire budget f o r many
years between the two w o r l d wars.
W e l l , maybe the farmers w i l l get out
of the government vise that is inexorably clamping down on them. A f t e r
all, they can plant uncontrolled crops
and create more surpluses i n other d i rections. T h e y can do more intensive
f e r t i l i z i n g on their reduced acreage.
But I notice at least two great f a r m
bureaus—also cattlemen i n T e x a s have become a bit fed up i n the direction i n which f a r m i n g is going and
have declared themselves opposed to
the present system, and w e l l they
might, f o r the end result w i l l he to
tell each farmer i n the country what
he can plant, how he shall plant it,
9
JULY,
1950
and what he shall get f o r it. Perhaps
the farmers like that sort of sj'stem.
T o me, the system is abhorrent.
Tile confusing
aspecthowever,
is
the action of the government
in subsidizing agriculture
on one hand, at
terj'ific expense io us all, while, on the
other hand, the government
is spending 7niUions of taxpayers' funds on research to increase our production
of
crops, or building
new
reclatnation
projects to create more farming
land.
It simply does not make sense.
C h a n g e in Tariff Structure N e e d e d
Ma5'be you w o u l d like to see a system whereby ultimately every one of
you are told how much to mine, where
to mine it, how to mine it, and what
price you shall get for it. I don't like
that system, for I think it is completely
unnecessarj', and that we in the m i n i n g
industrj^ can solve our problems w i t h out government intervention, by proc u r i n g government r e l i e f , when
needed, i n those two directions which
have p r o v e d traditionally sound,
namely, ( ! ) in taxation, and ( 2 ) by
a change in our tariff structure. A request for an emergency
tax or tariff
against
the unfair
competition
our
mineral
industry
is receiving
from
metal imports from countries that have
devalued currencies, is my
conception
of one thitig that should be done immediately.
M-^hen all is said and done, zuhat
we i?i the metal ?nining industry
want
is a satisfactory price for our product,
one that will keep our men. employed
and our stockholders
happy. W e realize we cannot hope to travel along
a road without any t u r n i n g — t h e r e
are bound to be ups and downs in the
market, periods i n which we shall be
prosperous, and periods during which
we w i l l suffer. B u t that is part of a
free enterprise system, much to be preferred over one i n which an omnipotent government directs all the energies of the people to give security,
as in Russia. I do not know of any
better sj'stem than the American competitive system which uses a free market to decide who can operate and w h o
cannot—do you ? It is non-discriminatory and liberty preserving. W e
ought to guard it jealously.
1 recognize, however, the legitimate
complaint which we have, as miners,
in protesting various government policies that adversely affect the market
for metals, I refer, for example, to the
subsidizing of foreign mining operations and to devaluation, which I have
already described at length.
N o w what can we as an industry
do i n a constructive manner which
w i l l preserve our free markets and
promise us some relief? F o r one thing,
as I have already intimated, we should
9
press Congress for emergency relief
to protect us against the unfair competition we are today receiving f r o m
imports of lead and zinc f r o m countries that have devalued their currency,
w i t h which we are in competition. Because of the gradual undermining of
the country's tariff structure and the
emphasis on free trade, some of j'Ou
'may feel that there is no prospect of
improvement i n that direction. I can
not agree w i t h this point of view, for
devaluation has introduced a new factor i n international trade that was not
contemplated by the T a r i f f A c t of
1930. T h a t l a w provides f o r countervailing duties, which, you may recall,
are designed to protect American i n dustries f r o m the actions of foreign
governments which subsidize local i n dustries upon the exportation of their
products. B u t 1930 was twenty j'ears
ago when the widespread practice of
currency devaluation was not foreseen,
and when nearly a l l currencies bore
a definite relationship to gold. Certainly we have every right to demand
protection against devaluation as an
international t r a d e weapon. O n e
means of doing so w o u l d be to establish a graduated tax or tariff, whereby
the tax on imports is greatest when
the domestic market price is lowest,
and disappears altogether when the
price is above a certain value. T o i l lustrate what I have in mind, suppose we had a sliding scale tax or
tariff on imports like this on lead
metal:

E v e n such a rate w o u l d not repair
the i n j u r y we lead miners have already suffered through the devaluation
of the pound Sterling. I firmly believe
that if the mining industries w i l l unite
and advance a proposal similar to this
one, they can bring about its adoption.
W h i l e I am on the subject, let us
look at the comparative tariff status
of lead today and yesterdaj^ In a 12f5
lead market, w i t h the reduced protection of 1.06^5 per lb., the duty amounts
to only 8.75 per cent. W h e n the lead
J U L Y . 1950
price ranged between 4 and 6 cents,
the tariff amounted to 2.l2$f, per lb,
— r o u g h l y 30 to 50 per cent.
W e are having it dinned into our
ears by high government officials and
economists that the U n i t e d States
must import more. M a y b e so. B u t I
submit that any industry which formerly required no imports and n o w
has to contend w i t h imports equivalent
to its entire domestic output—like the
lead mining industry—is certainly doing more than its share. It is being
imposed upon. W e are entitled to relief i n the same way it has been historically given, i.e., through a tariff,
or import tax.
I realize that, because some of you
feel it hopeless to procure tariff assistance, you have gone all out f o r subsidies and have done so just as sincerely as I have taken the traditional
approach. T h e latest result of subsidy
thinking is found in S.2105, which
passed the Senate and is now in the
House, I understand some of j'ou are
already planning a victory celebration i f it becomes a l a w . Before you
go too far i n that direction, I suggest
tempering j'our jubilation a while to
see how the bill works, because, i n m y
humble opinion, it can only lead u l timately to disillusionment. T h e most
damning criticism I have of the b i l l
is that, besides promoting inefficiency,
it zvould impair our priceless free market. I f J'OU have any doubt about this,
think a moment what the bill is i n tended to do. It provides "conservat i o n " paj'ments and wisely locks up
the metal resulting f r o m these payments so that it cannot be pressed f o r
sale i n the open market to cause a price
decline. I n that respect, it protects our
free market. B u t the bill is also designed to stimulate production -— to
bring marginal properties in operation, and even to encourage those that
are now active to greater o u t p u t ;
otherwise, it has no purpose. T h i s
means more metal production. T h e resultant output, big or little, w i l l press
for a market. W h a t happens when the
supply of a commodity is more than
the market can absorb ? T h e price
goes down. T h a t is exactly what maj^
happen here, for no provisioji is made
in the bill to prevent subsidized
production
resulting
froin
exploration
payinents, from competition
with unsubsidized.
M o r e output than a free
market can consume means l o w e r
prices, for the custom smelters can not
stockpile unless thej' wish to speculate.
It is quite conceivable that prices,
may decline so much that even the exploration or development subsidy becomes unattractive. T h e n where are
w e ? Is the answer more subsidy? O f
course not, but, doubtless, that w o u l d

Consulting Engineer, Spokane, W a s h ington
T h e Engineer devotes most of his
energies to bis profession, but should
of course, also use his trained m i n d
as a citizen whose d u t j ' it is to help
preserve our liberties and support
sound economies i n the administration
of government.
F o r years a great many people, particularly those under union domination, have been fed a diet of unsound
economics and socialistic error presented plausibly by selfish and unscrupulous leaders and politicians, but
1 am convinced that the great mass
of voters w i l l support honest government and sound policies if the truth
can be presented to them i n simple
terms and convincingly w i t h a l l the
facts and reasons therefor.
T h e Democratic p l a t f o r m of 1932
contained a good program of sound
economy and f o r w a r d looking policies,
but after the election, practically a l l
its provisions were ignored and discarded. I n their place there evolved
demagogic propaganda and extravagant waste f o r political expediency.
Socialistic experiment and bland
pronouncement that black is white,
has seemed to be successful under
Roosevelt, T r u m a n and L a b o r leaders, just as such policies are the mainstay of Russian diplomacy, but nothing is permanently successful not
founded on truth and righteousness.
The government
by minorities zvith a
ruthless and cynical disregard for the
rights of the people as a tuhole or the
preservation
of our liberty is causing
tnore and more people to discredit such
policies and look for truer
leadership.
Just now as a practical matter the
Republican party w o u l d seem to be
our main hope for a return to a relatively honest and economical administration. I am one who agrees that the
(Continued

be the cry. W h e n I last spoke to you
in Denver, I tried to tell you that
metal prices are set i n a w o r l d market,
so f a r uncontrolled, and not by a f e w
people conniving i n W a l l Street, or
selfish interests gouging the public.
O n e of my friends makes the interesting suggestion that the w a y to be r i d
of the prejudice against W a l l Street
16
Republicans i n the last two campaigns
have made the mistake of bowing too
l o w to the p o w e r f u l labor unions w i t h
their selfish and unsound programs,
but even so, thej' w o u l d not have had
very f a r to go to w i n .
It is useful to consider some things
that we should advocate and w o r k f o r
in both m a j o r political parties. I n the
first place we should use every endeavor to send honest and capable men
to Congress and then see that they are
properly supported and encouraged in
constructive statesmanship and independence of pressure groups.
It is most important that the cost
of government should be reduced by
strictly l i m i t i n g the services of government and the resulting army of government employees. T h e r e is no
sense i n taxing ourselves to death to
support a bureaucracy f o r the relatively small handouts we get back.
T h e H o o v e r Commission has proposed
a reorganization to eliminate many unnecessary and overlapping administrative bureaus, commissions, etc., and
thus same money and promote efficiency. I am strongly f o r this reorganization and a similar plan w o u l d be
useful i n many of our states.
I am f o r a unified defense force
and a reasonable preparedness f o r w a r
but think present expenditures can
be reduced keeping i n mind that a
sound economy and financial stability
are essential.
W h e n the M a r s h a l l plan is completed I think I w i l l oppose further
gifts to bolster the cartels and monopolies of B r i t a i n and Europe, however,
we should continue to promote w o r l d
trade and cooperation on a democratic
and business basis and support the
U n i t e d Nations.
I am not i n favor of further generous gifts to veterans, which have
been popular f o r political reasons and
am definitely against national medical
care or federal aid for schools.
I favor the T a f t H a r t l e y L a b o r
is to change the name to " A l e x a n d e r
H a m i l t o n Street." T h e best protection we miners have is to keep our
markets completely free. W e should
understand better how they operate,
and the indispensable role played by
the custom smelter and his difficult
marketing problems.
D o you really feel that the distribution of some government funds as provided i n S.2105 is sufficient compensation f o r any impairment of your free
or competitive metal markets?
L a w and think further that nationwide unions should be forced to settle
their claims i n court and not be allowed to strike. T h e process of forcing wages higher and higher by the
too p o w e r f u l unions has raised prices
and reduced the value of the dollar
to the great detriment of a l l fixed dollar income, general business, construction and industry and the people as
a whole.
There should be a balance
between
the returns to capital, the profits of
business management,
prices for farm
products, and the wages of tuorkers, so
as to support a stable dollar value. T h i s
balance plus a large reduction in public expenditures and some reduction
in taxes are most essential f o r the reduction of our public debt and for preserving the soundness of our irnancial
system.
I favor a flexible support f o r the
prices of f a r m products, set not high
enough to produce unmanageable surpluses and f o r just so long as the labor
monopoly is i n power but hoping both
can be done away as soon as practicable.
/ think double taxation
of stock
dividends
should be done away zuith
and favor subjecting federal, state and
municipal, bond interest to inco?ne tax
levies in order to help replace
many
unfair a?id uneconomic taxes. I t might
help clear up the tax tangle if the
states should use a sales tax but no
income tax, the federal government
to retain the income tax but use no
sales tax and leave local communities
to use the property tax.
In conclusion I w o u l d advocate sufficient research on the matters discussed and many others important to
our liberty and progress, so that each
one can state his faith and the reasons
which support it on every appropriate
occasion and thus spread what we regard as the true faith and support constructive political action to preserve
our liberties and our country.

up homesteading a small Bay across

we now are getting deeper into the
fishing business every season.
W e have a nice location w i t h a
very good deep water anchorage. So
far, we have found the long period of
free time elusive, as the "off-season"
has been spent in the construction of
housing, a dock, a two story warehouse, setting up a sawmill, w o r k i n g
on boats and gear, and, at the present
time, setting up a small hand cannery.
Some of the local fishermen specialize
in one particular type of fishing. H o w ever, w i t h the
tendency
toward
shorter seasons, fewer fish, and more
new fishermen like ourselves, we find
it safest to fish f o r halibut, gill-net for
red salmon, and beach-seine for pink
salmon. A l l three take place at different times and involve different fishing
methods.

H a l i b u t fishing, for the local small
boats, has developed since a cold storage plant was set up in Seldovia two

limited to us as our local boats, w i t h

for salmon fishing and not off-shore
halibut fishing. H o w e v e r , f o r a month

season, at the respective canneries.
W h e r e we d r i f t is considered hard
fishing because Cook Inlet has the
second largest tides i n the w o r l d , lots
of w i n d , and little shelter. N o r m a l l y ,
we fish f r o m three to twenty miles off

same tide often sets two boats together
and then both have to tow their nets
apart or pick them up. U s u a l l y this
has to be done in a h u r r y as the two

M o s t of the boats fish twenty f o u r
hours a day and catch up on sleep duri n g the week-end closed period or
when it "blows." A s we have a better

nets out as a sea anchor, getting extra
fish in the process.
I^he fish travel in schools that are
hard to spot, especially when it is

T h e r e is no need f o r me to recite
the long association of D u Pont and
its home city. M a n y of you who grew
up here have experienced that intimate
relationship at first hand. M a n y of
you who knew the mills along the
B r a n d y w i n e i n your boyhood have
watched the growth and development of the D u Pont Company f r o m
a medium-size maker of explosives to
a large and diversified chemical enterprise. T h i s transformation has taken
place w i t h i n the lifetime of many of
us i n this room. P o w d e r was made in
the old mills as recently as 1916, and
many who recall it w e l l are still regarded as 3'oung men.

A l o n g w i t h this growth and progress have come problems—the peculiar
and very special problems that face a
large company in the U n i t e d States
today. T h e y are problems that affect D u Pont—they are problems that
affect the communities i n which we
Y o u w h o have watched this company g r o w to its present size and position have witnessed the growth also
of a thought-pattern w h i c h places
large enterprise in an unfavorable
light. There
are people, in
government and elsewhere,
zoho believe
that
something
is wrong with our busijiess
system, particularly
the part of it that
is conducted
by large fir?ns.
U n f o r t u n a t e l y f o r us, they are more
vocal and perhaps more articulate i n
attack than business men have been,
in defense, so we hear much of "monopolies,"
of
"concentrations
of
power," of the "heartless and selfish"
conduct of big business. It is said
that political power should be used to
restrict corporate activities, to bring
corporations under the control of the
government and, i n some cases, to
break them up.
I have no doubt that these people
are sincere i n their views. T h e problems we face today are troublesome
and it is easy to be misled. B u t no
matter how sincere those views may
be, it seems to me that they are greatly
in error, and we subject ourselves to
serious consequences if we a l l o w them
to go unchallenged.
T h e r e is a simple t r u t h that business critics seem not to recognize. A n y
business, whether it be big or little, to
be successful must serve the public
interest; and if a business grows it
does so because the quality and price
of its products or the superiority of its
services have w o n public confidence.
Its ultimate size is then dictated only
by the aggregate demand of its satisfied customers.
T h e D u P o n t Company is successf u l and it is big, and in saying that I
am merely reciting cause and effect.
Those of us who are responsible f o r
its management are thoroughly and
p a i n f u l l y aware that that success
comes about through public acceptance of the goods and services we offer. Should we ever f a i l i n maintaini n g that acceptance, we w i l l lose business and someone else w i l l gain it.
A n d that, gentlemen, w i l l bring about
a breakup of what has been called
the " D u P o n t industrial empire" f a r
more quickly and far more devastatingly than any outside attack.

Y o u have heard much i n recent
times about "monopolj'," and on occa-
J U L Y , 1950
sion you have heard this term linked
w i t h D u P o n t in unflattering connection. L e t ' s see what we mean
when we say "monopoly." U n f o r t u nately, it is a w o r d which is much
used, and much abused. T h e r e seem
to be any number of definitions and
interpretations. W e have a legal i n terpretation that says "monopoly" is
the manufacture of a large share of
any product by any one company regardless of how competitive that product may be w i t h other materials doing
the same job. T o add to the legal
confusion, the w o r d "share" appears
to mean anything between 30 per cent
and 100 per cent depending upon circumstances which are also as yet u n defined.
T h e political interpretation of "monopoly" seems to be that anyone who
is big has it, and very recently w e
have been given the concept that if as
many as three or four companies have
a m a j o r i t y of a market they are said to
be monopolists, or "oligopolists" as
the erudite call it, regardless of how
intense the competition be between
them.
A c t u a l l y monopoly means "one
seller," and the test of monopoly is
whether the buyer of any article has
freedom of choice i n f u l f i l l i n g his requirements. I f he can make his purchase f r o m only one source, then a
monopoly exists, even though that
monopoly may be a perfectly legal
one, such as the purchase of electricity
f r o m our friends at Delaware P o w e r
and L i g h t . B u t if be can select f r o m
among several materials, each of
w h i c h w i l l to a greater or less extent
relieve his need, then monopoly i n any
real sense exists. T h e choice becomes
that of the customer and he can buy
or refuse to buy without compulsion
and according to his best judgment.
T h e term "monopoly" has also been
given the implication that it is i n tended to smother or to exclude competition. T h e chemical industry is
popularly depicted as a haven of
monopoly, yet.it is i n fact one of the
most competitive industries i n the
world.
T h e r e are something like 9,000
companies engaged in the manufacture
of what the Census Bureau describes
as "chemical and allied products." A s
a corporation, the D u Pont Company
is the largest of these and has roughly
8 per cent of the trade i n this segment
of A m e r i c a n industry. Individually,
however, f e w of our products lead
their fields. I n most instances our
leading competitors are more important factors than we in many of our
markets.
19
I n the paint field, S h e r w i n - W i l liams is bigger than D u P o n t and
both of us fight for business among
nearly 1,200 a c t i v e competitors.
A m e r i c a n Viscose is larger than we i n
viscose raj'on; Celanese in acetate
rayon, and there are about 15 other
important companies in those fields.
U n i o n Carbide is bigger than we in
plastics; A l l i e d Chemical in nitrogen
products; Eastman K o d a k i n photographic film; D o w in chlorine products and also in insecticides.
I say that without shame,—because
it comes about as a matter of deliberate policy—a policy of diversification
which I believe has operated in the
interests of the consumer, of the D u
P o n t Company, and of the public at
large. W i t h limited resources f o r capital expenditure, we have no wish to
strive for a fixed percentage of any
market. T o do so w o u l d prevent us
f r o m exploiting to the f u l l the new
developments produced in our research
laboratories, and that I think is our
greatest challenge and our greatest responsibility. A n y success we might
have in excluding competition i n viscose rayon, in paint, or i n s u l f u r i c acid
might very probably make us miss a
neoprene synthetic rubber, a cellophane, or a njdon, and that w o u l d be
advantageous neither to us nor to the
public.
F o r the D u Pont Company, and I
believe this is also true for the chemical industry, I can saj' categorically
that our present size and our present
success have not come about through
a process of s t i f l i n g competition by
absorbing competitors.
It has come about through the new
products and new processes that have
been developed i n our laboratories,
and the proof of that statement is i n
our sales figures. Sixty per cent of
D u P o n t sales in 1948 consisted of
products that were not in commercial
production in 1928—just two decades
ago.
Experience i n other countries has
shown that the hand of monopoly is
a dead hand indeed. It profits no
one, least of a l l the company that attempts to practice it.
T h e D u Pont Company has existed
for nearly a hundred and fifty years
in an atmosphere of free and vigorous competition. W e have done w e l l
under that system and we like it. C o m petition is a prod that keeps us continually on our toes. W e think we are
stronger because of i t ; we think we
w o u l d be weaker without it. T h e
opportunities f o r growth and service
in our industry through the development of new things are limitless. It is
utter foolishness to think that growth
in any of its varied phases can be
20
brought about only by the elimination of other manufacturers.
Big Business Essenfial
It should be obvious to anyone that
big businesses are essential in the complex economy in which we live today.
A business is si?nply a pool of people's
resources—the
resources of a group of
employees,
of a group of investors to
accomplish
a given task. Since
there
is a limit to what any one man will
risk, the larger the task the bigger the
pool must be. I f we want low-priced
automobiles, low-priced radios, l o w priced television sets, we must have a
large team of people to w o r k and venture so that the benefits of mass production can he applied to those products.
It follows also that big business has
its o w n peculiar responsibility—f/m/
is to devote itself to those tasks that require its full resources of
manpower,
of finance, of talent.
So f a r as D u
Pont is concerned we have endeavored
over the j'ears to tackle the difficult
projects that make f u l l use of the resources we enjoj', I w o u l d like to cite
a f e w examples out of many in which
that policy has been successfully employed.
Millions Spenf +o Develop
Nevf Products
T h e U n i t e d States had no dyestuffs
industry worthy of the name prior to
the F i r s t W o r l d W a r and was dependent on G e r m a n y even f o r the dyes
w i t h which to print stamps and
money. D u P o n t was one of the pioneers in instituting dyestuffs manufacture i n this countrj'. W h a t that
venture cost like-minded chemical
manufacturers I do not know. I do
know that it used to be said here that
Deepwater P o i n t across the river was
well-named, f o r there seemed to be
no bottom to its demands for money.
Du Pont invested more than 43 million dollars there before profits o f f set losses.
I n the early twenties we built a
plant in W e s t V i r g i n i a to manufacture ammonia and other chemicals by
the application of pressures unheard
of commercially up to that time. T h a t
was another long and expensive t r i p
since it was more than ten j'ears and
many millions of dollars before that
department began to show black ink
on its profit and loss statement.
N j ' l o n , i n which I hope j'Ou i n
W i l m i n g t o n share our pride, is at
the same time one of our greatest successes and one of our greatest gambles,
Basic research leading to this development began here in W i l m i n g t o n i n
1928 but it was not u n t i l 1940
and the expenditure of about 27 m i l lions of dollars that we were able to
sell the first pound made in a commercial unit.
Some of you may have heard that
we have a new textile fiber in the
making which we have called " O r i o n "
acrylic fiber. W e are building the
first commercial unit f o r its manufacture at Camden, S. C . W e have hopes
for that new product but I must admit that we do not yet know whether
it w i l l be a sheep or a goat. Before
we find out, sometime in 1950 or
1951, we w i l l have gambled $7 m i l lion in research and $15 m i l l i o n in
plant investment.
Employees and Stockholders Share
In Benefits with Consumers
Nylon,
aiinnonia,
dyestuffs
have
been profitable
items for Du
Pont.
But don't think for a ?ninute that Du
Pont stockholders
were the only gai?iers. There were thousands of men and
women who got jobs that never existed before.
There zuerc millions of
consumers
whose standard
of living
was raised by each such success.
There
IS the country itself, stronger both in
peace and in war. JVhen these gatnbUs pay o f f , everybody
benefits.
A n d research itself is perhaps the
greatest gamble of a l l . T h e public
hears only about the successes. T h e y
hear nothing about the failures—the
brave new ideas that don't pan out. I
speak w i t h deep feeling because as a
research man I had lots of those brave
new ideas myself that ended i n the
trash can.
Statistics on failures are difficult to
come by but it is a f a i r approximation
to say that not more than one out of
five research dollars pays off. T h a t
means simply that if the direct cost of
nj'lon research is say five m i l l i o n dollars, there is perhaps twentj'-five m i l lion dollars w o r t h of research that
has to be paid f o r by that one successf u l development. W e are plaj'ing w i t h
very blue chips indeed.
A n d our success i n the future, i f
we are fortunate enough to have it,
w i l l come not because w e have taken
business f r o m someone else, but because We are able to keep that stream
of new products and improved processes continually flowing.
O n many of these developments
we have f o r seventeen years the sole
right of manufacture by virtue of
patents granted us under the laws of
the U n i t e d States. N y l o n is one of
those developments. B u t let me assure
you that while we are the only manufacturer of nylon, we have in no sense
a monopoly of the applications for that
product. N j d o n competes f o r the customer's dollar w i t h every sj'uthetic
and natural textile fiber. Y o u r wives
may have their stockings, dresses and

C o l o r a d o School of Mines
Period December 1949 to A p r i l !950
T h e museum was f a i r l y busy during the w i n t e r and spring. G r a d u a l l y
it is assuming its intended place as a
useful adjunct to the geology department. It furnishes illustrative material f o r many of the courses taught i n
the department, stimulates student i n terest, and furnishes exhibits of interest to the visitor.
New Exhibits
D u r i n g the period two new exhibition cases were acquired and several
new exhibits were placed on display.
These include:
1. Recent publications of the Colorado School of M i n e s of interest to the
geologist,
2. A large suite of spectacular crystallized minerals f r o m E n g l a n d .
3. Professor M a t e e r has completed
w o r k on a large exhibit to illustrate
features and types of sedimentary
rocks.
4. Fossils to illustrate the marine
invertebrates of the Jurassic Period.
5. Fossils illustrating the marine
invertebrates o f
the
Cretaceous
Period.
Non-Exhibifion Reference and
Research Collections
lectioH. T h i s collection is designed to
f o r m a sort of reference " l i b r a r y " of
minerals, including specimens of as
many minerals as possible f r o m as
many different localities as can be obtained. It is designed to answer the
needs of visitors w h o wish to see a
particular mineral f r o m some specific
localitj'. I n time it w i l l f o r m the bases
for graduate studies of minerals or
groups of minerals f r o m a wide range
of localities. Additions to the type

These collections are f o r the use of
graduate students and as reference material. T h e y are not on exhibition but
are kept i n drawer cases in special
rooms where they may be studied. A t
present they include ( 1) the type mineral collection which is designed to
contain specimens of every mineral
f r o m as many different localities as
possible; ( 2 ) paleontological collections, and ( 3 ) limestones and carbonate sediments. D u r i n g 1948 a new
collection of ores was commenced.
D u r i n g 1949 there was an increase
in the number of graduate students
w o r k i n g in the Geology Department.
E i g h t of these worked on problems
based on museum collections.
D u r i n g the year 816 specimens
were added to the T y p e M i n e r a l C o l -
T h e C u r a t o r continued his personal
studies on limestones, especially those

formed by reef-building organisms and
was assisted by several graduate students. Several projects on T e r t i a r y
coralline algae were completed and a
number are in progress.
Museum Needs
T h e basic museum needs are:
1. M o r e display cases. T h e main exhibition hall is only about 9 0 % f u r nished. T w o more of the tall cases
and three table cases are needed to
complete it. These represent basic
permanent equipment. O n c e the
museum is furnished w i t h cases,
only a small annual outlay w i l l be
needed f o r equipment.
T w e n t y similar table cases are
also needed f o r the paleontological
collections on the basement floor.
2. A case and fixtures to complete a
fluorescent exhibit on the main floor
and to equip a small testing laboratory i n the M u s e u m Basement. T h e
laboratory to be used f o r testing
minerals, ores, and petroleum, and
for graduate work.
3. Specimens—minerals and fossils. I n
the past these have been obtained
(a) by gift, (b) collected by the
C u r a t o r and by students on inspection trips, (c) by purchase, and ( d )
by exchange, i n the future, gifts
w i l l probably f o r m the main source,
but it is hoped that funds w i l l be
available for purchasing specimens
and to permit some collecting trips.
4. Specimen m a t e r i a l particularly
needed includes;
(a) Cambrian, Silurian, Triassic,
Jurassic f r o m any localities.
(b) Graptolites, stromatopora, and
ostracods f r o m anj' locality.
(c) Oligocene fossils f r o m the G u l f
Coast or C a l i f o r n i a ,
( d ) T e l l u r i u m minerals,
(e) M i n e r a l s f r o m Alaska, Nevada,

G i f t s Received
We
welcome this opportunity to
acknowledge publicly these gifts and
to thank the donors.
Such gifts
greatly assist the school as they not
only keep building up the M u s e u m ,
but also supply material f o r class use
in the Geology Department.

No
one can do the thinking f o r
others on safety matters. Consider f o r
example the case of the native railroad
agent i n India. H e was told never to
take any action without w i r i n g headquarters f o r instructions. O n e day he
sent a telegram reading: " A tiger is
eating the conductor on the station
platform. Please wire instructions."
O r the case of the Chinese foreman
who
asked f o r instructions after an
accident. H e was told first to make
sure the victim was dead and then
bury him. H e reported: "I make very
sure he is dead, I hit him over the
head w i t h a shovel."
But
speaking more seriously; I believe that in one of the great historical
dramas there are lines that read: " O u t
of this nettle, danger, we pluck this
flower safety." It seems to me they
are particularly appropriate to the
progress that has been made in coal
mine safety in U t a h during the past
f i f t y years. F r o m study of a mine explosion that took place nearly f i f t y
years ago and how to prevent similar
disasters there was developed an electrical shot firing system of blasting

checked out of the mine; also the practice of wetting down coal mine dust

lack of interest i n the preservation of
l i f e and property. It is advisable therefore to consider the probable causes
for this adverse turn of affairs, and
thereby perhaps may be found some
means to provide a remedy.
W h a t possibly can account for
non-activity on the part of people
whose business and responsibility it is
to promote the good cause of safety?
Is it that the endeavor to prevent suffering f r o m accidents and damage to
property is becoming a virtue that
everyone preaches and a l l are content
to hear, but which no one takes seriously u n t i l he himself is affected ? O r ,
is it merely a sign of the times—a

Shifting Responsibilities
•

And what has a l l of that to do w i t h
lessening interest a n d activity i n
safety? O n l y this, when responsibility
is shifted f r o m the individual to the
government, further incentive f o r i n dividual accomplishment is lost and
then interest lags. It is difficult to remold human attitudes, relations and
divergent interests. Changeless forces
remain active even in changing times.
W h e n socialism in the guise of a w e l fare state takes over responsibility for
the social needs of the people and their
safety i n Industry, it w i l l be found that
the people w i l l look to the government
to solve the problems of safety, w e l fare, production and trade. A n d if the
experience of the British may be taken
as an example, t h o s e responsible
for the conduct of government w i l l
develop many a headache and not a
few ulcers i n trying to w o r k out these
problems. Consider f o r a moment
what is happening in the British nationalized industries, particularly the
coal mines and railroads and to the
purchasing power of the pound sterling.
C o m i n g back home again, the cause
of safety may be said to rest upon the
self-evident truth stated at the time
this countrj' had its beginning as a nation of free men. " A l l men are endowed by their Creator w i t h certain
unalienable rights; that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." I n order to enjoy these rights
there must be due regard f o r the
health and safety of the people i n the
places where they w o r k and live.
Russia has l i t t l e respect f o r the i n dividual i n the Soviet U n i o n and the
countries which it dominates. Asiatic
Russian Communism holds no belief
that a Creator endowed men w i t h the
rights of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. T h e individual exists
23
for
the state. U n d e r such circumstances safety laclfs humanitarian aspects and is purely materialistic. T h e
worker is w o r t h only whatever value
he is to the state.
It is said that the practice of safety
arose w i t h the Romans at a time when
the people were becoming soft f r o m
dependence upon the state and the empire was commencing to weaken. Captives in warfare were condemned to
w o r k as slaves i n the mines somewhat
after the current Russian fashion.
W h e n the R o m a n legions no longer
were able to bring back people of the
conquered races to do their w o r k it
became necessary to take better care
of the f e w that remained. A n d so the
shortage of manpower led to development of safety practices.
Safety by Federal Legislation
Illustrating the trend of the times,
legislation has b e e n introduced i n
Congress to impose additional government controls over the operation of
railroads through power "to establish
rules, regulations, and practices w i t h
respect to operation of trains intended
to promote safety." Some people in
the government want to r u n the railroads as w e l l as many other industries
from Washington. T h e American railroads f r o m their record are the safest
and the most efficient transportation
system k n o w n to man. W i l l bureaucratic controls and government regulations do more to promote further
progress than the combined efforts of
experienced managements, s k i l l e d
workers and the reasonable earning
power required to maintain a safe
plant and equipment?
Legislation also is under consideration in Congress to give the U n i t e d
States Bureau of M i n e s police power
over the enforcement of safety in the
nation's coal mines. T h e Bureau of
M i n e s has a record of successful accomplishment for its activities i n
safety that extends back through the
years to its beginning. T h e Bureau
has brought about great improvements
by means of research and education.
Progress is made to free men through
cooperation, not dictation and force.
T h e r e is no final solution to safety
problems that can be brought about
bj' police enforcement. If it were so
the U n i t e d States of A m e r i c a w o u l d
soon be surpassed i n safety and industrial progress by the police states and
dictatorships.
Safety tn C o m p e t i t i v e Enterprise
Ignorance is the cause of most of
our troubles including accidents. T h e
remedy in a free country is education. Disapproval expressed through
public opinion is a strong force w o r k ing to correct unhealthy and danger24
ous conditions. A n d competition is another, because safety and efficiency go
hand i n hand, and efficiency Is essential to earning power.
Management of industry is becoming less personal in character. H e a v y
individual income and estate taxes are
bringing an end to family and individual ownerships. T o d a y management i n large as w e l l as smaller companies usually represents groups of i n dividuals who have become owners of
industry through the investment of
their savings in company securities.
O f t e n the number of individuals i n
the ownership group Is larger than
the number of workers on the company payroll. W i t h passing of the
owner-manager the immediate supervisor has to assume more responsibilities as a representative of the company
In the eyes of the w o r k i n g force and
the public generally. A n d i n most respects when be is w o r k i n g i n the right
kind of an organization and has proper
support f r o m the management he is
turning i n a pretty good score f o r
safety.
Labor Union Responsibilities
T h e labor union Is not free f r o m
responsibility. Accident prevention
and property protection require cooperative effort, not class warfare and
Industrial strife. L a b o r is an essential
part of industry and must cooperate
for the common good. It Is the business
of labor unions to see that the individual worker receives a fair day's pay
for an honest day's w o r k under good
w o r k i n g conditions w i t h proper consideration f o r health and safety. L a b o r
unions have gained great power and
w i t h power comes responsibility to the
public. L a b o r must promote safety
and efficiency i n industry if the country Is to remain prosperous in a competitive w o r l d . If free enterprise is
lost for lack of cooperation f r o m those
who
depend on it f o r their living,
labor w i l l not retain its freedom very
long. L a b o r unions under Socialism or
C o m m u n i s m apparently have no Important voice i n industry. T h e i r business is to carry out orders f r o m the
government planners.
Responsibility of fhe Individual
O v e r the years many companies
have done much to make the w o r k of
their employees safer, easier and more
pleasant. A s a result the worker has
come to look to the company to take
care of him to an extraordinary degree. E v e n when he is Injured through
his o w n carelessness, or disregard for
safety he takes the attitude that the
company Is responsible. H e should
realize, however, that the prevention
of accidents Is an important part of
the business of every man. T h e ecoTHE
nomic loss f r o m accidents and Injuries is carried not alone by industry,
but enters into the price of goods and
services offered by the company as w e l l .
And
in addition a portion of it falls
on
the dependents of injured employees and various social welfare
agencies.
T h e responsibility f o r a safe and
healthful plant, safe machinery and
equipment, and safe methods of operation rests w i t h management. R e sponsibility to cooperate rests w i t h the
worker. It w o u l d be w e l l if each one
of us gave some thought to the other
man's problems more often. E x p e r i ence teaches that the price of w o r k i n g
dangerously is more than any industry
or individual can afford to pay. A c c i dents nearly always can be attributed
to disregard of the rules, or of good
practice. A n d nature is ruthless to
those who disregard the rules.
Safety is merely operating in the
proper manner — the application of
common sense to the w o r k at band.
G o o d practice requires the maintenance of equipment and machinery in
good condition, employees competent
to handle their w o r k In the proper
way,
good tools, adequate supervision,
progressive management and cooperation. A great statesman once observed :
" E x a m p l e is the school of mankind,
and they w i l l learn at no other."
W h e r e managements hy their efforts
for
safer conditions have convinced
the worker they are interested sincerely i n his welfare, remarkable accomplishments have resulted through
cooperation. W h e n progress is being
made what once was exceptional after
awhile becomes the regular order of
things.

Safety today has an essential place

side of the U n i t e d States, It Is common
practice to stifle competition, parcel
out markets, create artificial shortages,
and charge the highest possible prices.
U n t i l the birth of our synthetic rubber and chemical industries, we had
no means of competition w i t h foreign
rubber and chemical cartels, which
controlled the production and marketing of these commodities and exacted
a tribute on every auto tire or chemical we purchased.
We
a l l realize how vital an ample
supply of lead, zinc, copper and other
base metals is i n time of war. W e a l l
remember the huge shipping losses of
the last w a r and the dangers i n transporting supplies f r o m overseas. Y e t ,
even now, we are destroying our domestic metal m i n i n g industry. W e are
putting our dependence both i n w a r
and i n peace, solely upon foreign
sources of supply. T h e American
metal miner is the victim of w o r l d
politics, sectional politics and economic politics. These politics transcend party lines.
T h e A m e r i c a n M a g a z i n e article
presents a current example of sectional
or economic politics by which Eastern
silverware manufacturers are attempting to have Congress repeal the Silver
Purchase A c t so they may buy silver
more cheaply. I n this they are supported by Republican and Democratic
congressmen
f r o m Eastern states,
while most W e s t e r n congressmen,
both Democrats and Republicans, oppose them. Obviously, a decrease i n
the price of silver w o u l d bring f u r ther hardships to an already crippled
mining industry since most ore bodies
contain silver along w i t h other metals.
As
an example of adverse w o r l d
politics, we see the huge shipments of
mining michinery, loans and grants
our nation has made to foreign countries i n recent years. It Is true these
loans and shipments were made to
bolster the economies of foreign countries, but, tbey aided in w r e c k i n g our
own mining Industry.
M a n a g e d Currency Causes
G r e a t Damage to M e t a l Mines
T h e brand of w o r l d politics which
has caused the most damage to our
metal mines is the sj'stem of managed
currency, or paper money, which has
been adopted by many nations, including our own. M a n a g e d currency deprives the people of gold or silver, or
both, it forces them to use paper or
token money, which has no value of
itself. M a n a g e d currency can be, and
frequently is, manipulated by the naTHE
•
tion which prints it. W h e n this country places a tariff on foreign metals to
protect our domestic mining, foreign
nations which produce these metals,
can
and have devalued their paper
money so as to n u l l i f y the effects of
that t a r i f f . A s a result, A m e r i c a n
metal miners have been forced to compete w i t h cheap foreign mines a l l over
the w o r l d . M o s t American miners
earn as much In a day as a foreign
miner does i n a week. Cheap m i n i n g
costs and devalued paper money enable
the foreign mine owner to undersell
his A m e r i c a n competitor right here i n
the U n i t e d States. T o make matters
still worse, our national government
has deliberately kept down the price
of metals—often below their cost of
production, and at the same time, has
increased the cost of metal mining.
M o s t metallic veins contain gold
and silver. F o r m e r l y the price the
miner received f o r this gold and silver helped to pay the cost of m i n i n g
and treating the lead, zinc, copper and
other metals i n his ore. Since 1935,
federal and state governments have
greatly increased taxes, new forms of
taxation have been imposed, and wages
and supplies have increased. The costs
of metal mining have doubled in the
last fifteen years. At the same
time,
silver has been increased only
twenty
or thirty cents an ounce, wliile the national government
has forbidden
any
increase in the price of gold.
T h e A m e r i c a n metal miner is confronted w i t h ruinous competition f r o m
foreign producers of lead, zinc, copper
and other base metals. H e is compelled to sell gold to the U n i t e d States
M i n t , at a price fixed by the M i n t
fifteen j'ears ago. H e is faced w i t h an
uncertain f u t u r e f o r the price of silver because of the selfish demands of
silverware manufacturers and silver
price manipulations by foreign governments. O n e after another of our
Colorado metal mines has been forced
to close d o w n . T h e price these mines
received f o r metals was far below their
cost of production. Prosperous towns
have become ghost towns, millions of
invested capital have been lost. M i n e
employees have moved away; their
know-how and practical experience
have been dissipated.

roughly fifty thousand people in Colorado directly interested in or dependent

Safety of Country Rests
On Mining Industry
In the event of a sudden emergency,
such as war, demanding huge tonnages
of lead, copper and other metals for
bullets, shells, planes and tanks, we
w o u l d not have the metals to w i n that
war. W e w o u l d not have the time to
re-open closed mines, or search f o r
new ones. W e w o u l d be dependent
upon foreign supplies and ships. W e
w o u l d be sunk along w i t h those ships.
N o words can adequately describe our
present stupidity or foolishness. It is
of the utmost importance that we remedy this condition, and pray we be
given the time i n which to do It. L e t
us have no illusions about the task
ahead of us. W e in Colorado can do
very little here. T h e solution lies i n
W a s h i n g t o n but no one of us can
longer remain silent. T h i s is not a
party political matter. A l l of us, not
only i n Colorado, but throughout the
W e s t , must join in the demand that
the federal government stop the discrimination against domestic metal
m i n i n g and take the positive actions so
necessary f o r its restoration. Superficial measures w i l l not be sufficient.
Subsidies w i l l give temporary relief
but they w i l l not provide a lasting
remedy. Subsidies mean increased taxation and government regulations. N o
miner wants a subsidy as a permanent
cure.
Tariffs Useless W i t h o u t
W o r l d Monetary Standard
Increased tariffs are useless. T h e y
simply invite more foreign currency
devaluation. T h e solution lies i n a
secure domestic economy and a stable
w o r l d trade and commerce based upon
a u n i f o r m and objective standard of
value over which no nation has absolute control.
I have referred to our policy of
managed paper money. I now say
that, In my opinion, it is the cause of
much of the turmoil and unrest that
afflicts the w o r l d .
W h e t h e r it be the money of France,
E n g l a n d , Germany, China, or the
U n i t e d States, paper money provides
no stability nor security. Show me
one single nation which has adopted
managed paper currency and has successfully maintained the value of that
money. I remember when the F r e n c h
f r a n c and the Italian l i r a were each
w o r t h around twenty cents. T o d a y
they are w o r t h only a fraction of one
cent. T h e British pound is now w o r t h
about one-half of what It was only
twenty years ago. I n the twenties,
G e r m a n y adopted a paper currency.
T h i s was followed by w i l d inflation
and nazi domination. In the thirties,
C h i n a abolished its silver money.
25
which was followed hy a terrible i n flation and communist conquest. E v e n
our o w n dollar is now a sixty cent
dollar.
G o l d Standard N e e d e d fo
Protect Investments
T o d a y millions of Americans i n vest i n bonds, social security and i n surance to sustain them i n times of
need or old age. Paper vioney can
render
these investments
worthless.
T h e dollar you invest today buys
about ten loaves of bread. T o m o r r o w ,
that paper dollar may not buy even a
slice of bread. W e cannot expect labor
to stop striking for higher wages and
more security i n the face of m o u n t i n g
costs of l i v i n g . N o government can
balance its budget or reduce taxes; no
business can plan a stable future in
the face of constantly increasing costs
of operation. Prices never stop rising
in an economy based on p r i n t i n g press
money.
O u r federal constitution
grants Congress the power to coin
money and regulate its value. It f o r bids the states to make anything but
gold and silver coin a legal tender.
/ am not a lawyer, bnt I leave it to
you whether we are obeying the plain
provisions
of the Constitutioti
of the
United States. We must return to the
American
people their natural
and
constitutional
right, to buy, own and
sell gold.
W e must find the true price of gold
in relation to other commodities. W e
should remonetize gold at that price
and return to the G o l d Standard. I
k n o w the G o l d Standard has not been
perfect, but it is far superior to paper
money. It provides a relatively stable
and permanent measure of value. U n der the G o l d Standard, our money
w i l l keep its value, just as the gold
coins of ancient Rome and Greece
have kept their value. W i t h the G o l d
Standard, the money we use to buy
bonds, social security and insurance
w i l l buy as much when we cash those
bonds or need that security or insurance.
Finally, we must insist the other nations of the world also return to the
Gold or Silver Standard, or both. We
must end the fiction of pegged
exchanges whereby the paper monies of
the world are given an artificial
value
in relation to each other. Surely
we
can insist upon this as part of our foreign aid
program.
I t is only through these means that
A m e r i c a n metal miners can receive an
equitable price f o r their gold and silver. W h e n w o r l d currencies are stabilized and valued i n terms of gold or
silver, then A m e r i c a n producers of
lead, zinc, copper and other base
metals can be given the t a r i f f protection necessary to preserve their opera26
tions and the high standards of l i v i n g
in this country.
We citizens
of Colorado
have a
huge stake in metal mining.
O n my
last trip East, a prominent o f f i c i a l of
a nationally k n o w n m i n i n g company
told me Colorado was sitting on top
of the biggest m i n i n g boom i n the history of the State. W e must use every
means to remove the unfavorable conditions which now prevent the realization of that boom.
In
conclusion, I wish to again

good friends i n Canada, w h o have
been operating under an Emergency
G o l d M i n i n g Assistance A c t , w h i c h
furnished them w i t h a gold m i n i n g
subsidy. H e r e is what T h e N o r t h e r n
M i n e r of January 19, 1950 says about
the operation of this A c t .
"We
think that most people w i l l agree
that the A c t has been f a i r l y enforced w i t h
a m i n i m u m of interference to the private
affairs of the recipients. Nevertheless,
there Is not one of them, w i t h the possible
exception of those f e w who were destined
to suffer considerable financial loss, w h o
did not rejoice when last f a l l ' s d e v a l u a tion prompted the government to suspend
assistance payments to the extent of the
increase in the price of gold. A c t u a l l y ,
the inconvenience w h i c h these m i n i n g companies had been made to suffer was not
too g r e a t T h e y had had to accept a bigger
than usual dose of paper work. T h e y had
had to open their books to government
auditors and, i n some cases, had to set up
duplicate or revised accounting systems
to conform w i t h the requirements of
E G M A . But, a i l i n a l l , those extras were
no more than might reasonably have been
expected.
"For
a l l the tact and consideration displayed by the Federal Investigators, the
operators got an unpleasant taste of w h a t
business w o u l d be like under a socialistic
regime. Freedom is a precious thing and
it is cheap at almost any price. A n y o n e
in management knows that the people who
are putting up the money have a right
to say how the business should be r u n
and, furthermore, they are i n a position
to enforce that right should it be i n any'
way
disputed. W e can understand the
plight of the m a r g i n a l operator but we
feel that any who might be blinded by the
sparkle of government gold should not
forget that it comes at a price—and the
price is mighty h i g h . "
E v e n if you don't accept m y argument, I hope you w i l l ask yourself this
question. H a v e you honestly sought
THE
the best advice and leadership possible
in determining what kind of assistance
you need f r o m government? I n d i v i d uals, corporations and nations pay
terrific penalties f o r poor leadership,
or poor management, and I think it
w i l l always repay the m i n i n g industry
handsomely to seek out and f o l l o w
the best.
T h e sound advice that we should
not use government compulsion to lick
our problems was noted even i n
George Washington's time, f o r he
said: "Government is not reason, it is
not eloquence—it is a force! L i k e fire,
it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
Must H a v e United Effort and
Constructive Program
In conclusion, I w o u l d like to see
the m i n i n g industry united on those
constructive programs which are undeniably f o r the benefit of a l l the people.
If our energies are diverted to
programs on which there is wide difference of opinion, such as subsidies,
we shall be at the mercy of those w h o
w o u l d do us injury, intentionally or
unintentionally. D i v i d e and conquer
applies to us, as w e l l as to others.

A u t o m a t i c Controls for Pd.V.
Speed Drives Announced
by Linlc-Belt (735)
Variable
A new line of A u t o m a t i c Speed Controls
for the L i n k - B e l t P . I . V . V a r i a b l e Speed
D r i v e is announced by L i n k - B e l t C o m pany, to meet the g r o w i n g demand f o r
positive, quick-acting, automatic control
of rotary motion throughout the industries.
These new controls are job-engineered
.for automatically controlling the output
speed range of the P . I . V . and are a v a i l able i n f o u r basic types—Electronic, H y draulic, Pneumatic, M e c h a n i c a l .
T h e uses f o r these automatic controls
are many, such as the f o l l o w i n g examples:
(A)
Separate machines must be kept in
accurate
synchronization, often
over a wide range of operating
speeds.
{B)
So I say to J ' O U , let us press home to
our friends i n Congress two subjects
which afford prompt and sound relief
to us a l l :
Beams, feed rolls, take-up and
pay-off reels must be d r i v e n at
ever - changing, infinitely v a r i able speeds to keep tension constant i n d r a w i n g , coating, impregnating, extruding and l a m i n a t i n g
materials of many sizes and kinds.
(1) Emergency taxes or tariffs,
preferably
on a graduated
scale, on lead, and
zinc imports from countries that have
devalued
their currencies—call
it an
emergency tariff if you like; and
(2) Changes in our tax laias to stimulate
mining investment,
yes, and
speculation, to make the long shots
attractive.
T h e National Minerals Advisory
C o u n c i l , an ofiicially appointed committee of the Department of the I n terior, has done much painstaking
w o r k in the tax field, and I think i f
all of us support its conclusions and
educate our representatives i n C o n gress to the importance of mine incentives to our country, that here again
is an opportunity to bring constructive
improvement to the m i n i n g industry.
T h e r e are others on' the program f o r
this Convention to enlighten you on
taxes. I don't want to trespass on
their time.
Such a program w o u l d mean much
to Colorado and the W e s t and our
N a t i o n . W e w o u l d like to help put
it across.

New Microscope Speeds Examination
O f O r e Specimens (742)
Super D Tournadozer
Available (738)
A new microscope designed to enable
m i n i n g engineers and geologists to make
accurate, on-the-spot quantitative analj'sis of ore samples as thej' are taken f r o m
the mine has been developed by Bausch
& Lomb Optical Company, Rochester 2,
N. Y.
T o meet the need f o r a speedy, robbertired, f o u r wheeled tractor dozer to
handle jobs w h i c h do not demand the use
of the larger, standard size T o u r n a d o z e r ,
R, G . L e T o u r n e a u , Inc., Peoria, Illinois,
manufacturer of earthmoving and construction equipment, has introduced the
smaller size M o d e l Super D T o u r n a d o z e r .
Opaque specimens measuring up to f o u r
inches square may be examined with
polarized or non-polarized vertical i l l u m i nation w i t h the microscope which utilizes
the phenomena resulting f r o m the action
of polarized light vertically projected on
the polished surface of an ore sample.
Some 3500 pounds lighter and equipped
w i t h a smaller capacity bowl than the
Super C Tournadozer, the Super D is
powered by a 122 h.p. Diesel engine.
Capacity of She Super D's b o w l is 1.8
yds. . . . the Super C's capacity is 2.5
yds. T h e smaller model T o u r n a d o z e r retains the advantage of high speed, h a v i n g
f o u r speeds f o r w a r d up to 19 m.p.h., w i t h
two reverse speeds.
!
Other features of the Ore Microscope
are its strain-free coated objectives that
provide m a x i m u m light transmission, and
its extra w i d e tube that houses and protects the rotatable analyzer f r o m dust and
dirt, even when it is w i t h d r a w n f r o m
the optical path.

mine service. One of these engines has been r u n n i n g In the O n a n factory f o r 2+ hours
a day f o r one year, and nine months without stopping.
T h e T w i n D i s c balanced impeller fluid coupling transmits the f u l l torque of the engine without shock. A l l gears are precision helical cut s p i r a l bevel, alloy steel, heattreated and mounted on T i m k e n bearings. A l l axles are also mounted on T i m k e n bearings. T h e side rod d r i v e insures m a x i m u m d r a w bar p u l l per pound of locomotive

Uranium Prospecting Instrument (741)
T h e Spinlab Prospectoscope is a portable, battery operated, G e i g e r tube survey
meter f o r precise measurement of low intensity gamma radiation,
T h e Prospectoscope has been specifically designed f o r the location of U r a n i u m ore
deposits. Not just another survey meter, the Prospectoscope is unique i n its ability to
detect deposits reliably at great distances.
T h e combination of an exceptionally large G M tube and a c a r e f u l l y engineered
circuit renders this precision instrument approximately 30 times as sensitive as the o r d i nary G e i g e r counter.
T h i s means that readings may be obtained to the same degree of reliability i n one
thirtieth of the normal time.
F i v e ranges (1, 2, 5, 10, and 20) allow the Prospectoscope to measure a w i d e v a r i a tion of radiation intensity w i t h easy readibllity. N o r m a l background produces a deflection of two-thirds of f u l l scale on the first range,
F o r convenience of operation a speaker is built into the case. Headphones are provided f o r use i n planes and other noisy locations.

T h i s new department was established
to handle increasing demand f o r the revolutionary industrial disc brake, adapted
in 1948 f r o m the company's airplane-type,
single-disc brake f o r industrial use.
A n experimental program w i t h a prototype of the single-disc brake on a shuttle
car in a southern Illinois mine resulted
in reduction of more than 50 per cent of
maintenance costs.
O v e r a l l mine down-time, because of
brake f a i l u r e , after installation on the

good dinner was enjoyed, f o l l o w i n g
which the meeting was called to order
and minutes of the January meeting
were read.
T h e dinner dance held at the Press
C l u b in San Francisco A p r i l 21 was
the subject of an i n f o r m a l discussion.
T h i s pleasant affair was attended by
ten Miners
and six guests, accompanied by their wives. T h e secretary
of the section was so busy enjoying
himself he forgot to take notes and
failed to write a report concerning it.
Those w h o attended enjoyed a w e l l
prepared dinner and special entertainment, and danced to excellent music.
T h e section is particularly indebted to
B i l l Briscoe f o r making arrangements
w i t h the Press C l u b f o r this dance.
T h e gaiety of the dinner dance was
tempered somewhat by the announcement that R . D . ( D i c k ) M o o d y was
being transferred to L o s Angeles by
A l l i s - C h a l m e r s . M o o d y has been the
spark-plug of the B a y Cities section.

attendance and support. H e w i l l be
missed i n this section, as w e l l as his
lovely w i f e . O u r loss w i l l be the
Southern C a l i f o r n i a section's gain.
T h e problem of attendance was discussed and the f o l l o w i n g steps have
been taken to improve the meetings:

friends invited.
T h e other social affairs w i l l he dinner dances, date and places to be announced later.
President Louis D e G o e s reported
on the activity of the A t h l e t i c Scholarship committee. L i k e l y candidates have
been observed and contacted but, so
far, none have necessary scholastic
qualifications. M o r e effort and cooperation on the part of members is
needed.
DeGoes anticipates being transferred f r o m this area and announced
his wish to resign the chairmanship of
the local A t h l e t i c Scholarship committee. H i s resignation was accepted and
Archie S. M a c A r t h u r , '27, was appointed to be chairman of this important committee. H i s appointment was
unanimously approved by those present.

into the boat. T h e fish are pursed i n
one end and then arc brailed into the
boat w i t h a large dip net, w i t h a time
lapse of f r o m ten minutes to over an
hour. T h e boats are beamy, about
twenty six to thirty feet i n length,
and shallow d r a f t in order to get i n
close to the beaches and flats. Some
fishermen prefer illegal "creek-fishi n g " but plane patrols are discouraging this fast. W i t h anywhere f r o m
two to thirty boats i n an area, it is
always a race to get there first when a
school shows. O u r average is about
one hundred fish to the set, at twenty
cents a piece, although we have caught
up to three thousand fish i n a haul.
T h i s sounds like more than it actually
is f o r the equipment involved is expensive and too specialized to be used
except f o r these two weeks each year.
However, everj'one is alwaj's optimistic about a big r u n and anyway, w h y
be an average boat.
Because of the uncertainty of the
salmon fishing f o r buyers, along w i t h
increased fleets, we have been w o r k i n g towards supplementing it w i t h an
off-season sea food business. T h i s

T h e first part of the book is devoted to
a discussion of environmental factors, a
classification of environments, origin of
inorganic sediments, interrelation of organisms and sediments,
transportation
and deposition of sediments and finally, a
classification of sediments, sedimentary
rocks and minerals of sediments on a basis
of whether the deposition agents were
physical or chemical, or both.
A moderate amount of space is g i v e n to
the discussion of clastic sediments, the
result of both physical and chemical rock
destruction, while some 200 pages are devoted to the subject of sediments of chemical deposition i n c l u d i n g carbonate sediments, siliceous, ferruginous, and manganese sediments, carbonaceous sediments,
evaporites and phosphatic sediments.
T h e last 100 pages cover structural
features of sedimentary origin, i n c l u d i n g
color and textures. E a c h subject discussed
throughout the book is followed by an extensive list of references. A n index of 30
pages enables one to turn r a p i d l y to the
subject sought and also to references i n cluded.
A Roman Book on Precious Stones
By Sydney H . Ball, Gernological Institute of America, Los Angeles 5, Calif.
1950. 338 pages. $6.75.
This book represents a lifetime of research by the author who, by reason of
his education and years experience in connection with a study of geology and mineral deposits, is well qualified to produce
this most outstanding book on precious
stones, The book is divided into two
parts, the first part of which is devoted to
Pliny and a discussion covering the gems
which were in use at that time together
with their resources and the modern
equivalent of the minerals from which
these gems were produced. A n extensive
table of identification makes it easy for
the reader to make present day comparisons. Also in this chapter are discussed
the production and mining of these gemstones in the time of PHny and a historical summary of ancient commerce in
precious stones.
Part II of the hook contains Dr. Bail's
modernization of Philomen Holland's
translation of the 37th Book of the History
of the World by Pliny the Elder printed
in 1601, Throughout the 77 chapters of
Engineers

In this new edition of an outstanding
text on the subject of sedimentation, the
author has maintained the same o r g a n i z a tion as in the first edition but has added
to the material and revised it to conform
w i t h i n f o r m a t i o n brought out by studies
and recent years of marine sediments and
sedimentary processes in the sea which
have been made possible by many cores
and bottom samples of sediments collected

Rapid Traverse Tables
B y Leo Jean G o l d s m i t h , W m . C . B r o w n
Co., Dubuque, I o w a . 1950. 540 pages.
$5,00.
T h i s book of traverse tables embodies
many of the best features of previously
published tables w i t h additional, c a r e f u l l y
thought out improvements. T h e book is
arranged f o r the convenience of the computer. E a c h page contains sines, cosines,
and multiples thereof f o r five minutes of
angle. T h i s arrangement makes it possible to find values f o r any angle i n a
m i n i m u m of time. T h e tables are printed
in large type, w i t h numbers spaced f o r
ease i n reading and to enable one to keep
track of his place in the tables. Just as
the decimal point is omitted f r o m the
ordinary logarithmic slide rule, so it is
omitted f r o m these tables. H o w e v e r , the
position of the decimal point Is always
between the two lefthand digits f o r a l l
values in the tables.
T h e numerical values in these tables
were set f r o m the twenty-first revised and
corrected edition of Boileau's traverse
tables f o r the f o l l o w i n g reasons. (1)
Boileau's tables in their twenty-one editions were c a r e f u l l y checked and a l !
known errors were found and corrected.
(2} Boileau's tables were calculated f r o m
seven place trigonometric f u n c t i o n s ,
rounded off tn five places. C a r e f u l proof
reading of a l l values in R a p i d T r a v e r s e
T a b l e s means that they should be nearly
as free f r o m errors as their source.
T h e preface contains a complete description of the tables and instructions f o r
their use, A sample problem is solved in
detail to illustrate f o u r different ways of
using the tables; (1) by itself, the way
any other traverse table can be used; (2)
w i t h an adding machine; (3) w i t h an
electric or manually operated calculating
machine; (4} w i t h a device called the
R a p i d Calculator w h i c h is supplied w i t h
and designed to be used w i t h the tables.
T h e preface also contains a discussion of
possible uses of the book and the problems
it is p a r t i c u l a r l y adapted to solving, such
as arise i n trigonometry applied to surveying, applied mechanics and other fields
such as calculating latitudes, departures,
coordinates, areas by double m e r i d i a n

meeting the competitive requirements
of the market place we may continue

that is cold comfort indeed.
Lov/ C o s t s Essential to

market,
at the loivest
price that
yields
a reasonable
return
on our
investment,
is a policy
zuhich
serves
tnany
ends.
It is beneficial to the public in m a k i n g
available to them an ever-increasing
f l o w of the goods and services thej^
desire. I t is beneficial also i n creating
new opportunities f o r emploj'ment,
and, f i n a l l y , it is profitable to us as a
corporation and so provides our 100,000 stockholders w i t h a return o n
their capital.
W i t h our new products it is essential that we strive for the largest
market, not f o r the highest price or
the highest profit. W e introduced
cellophane many years ago and costs
of manufacture by the methods used
then forced us to sell it at $2.65 a
pound. I t was used i n i t i a l l y only i n
w r a p p i n g l u x u r y items, such as perfumes, bath salts, and fancy candy
boxes. Some purchasers even thought
it valuable enough to keep i n their
safes. T o d a y , as a result of technological improvements and increased v o l ume, cellophane sells for around 50
cents a pound. Because of that l o w
price, cellophane n o w protects the
most commonplace articles and saves
millions of dollars annually i n eliminating waste and spoilage of food.
I have spoken about big business
and about monopoly. L e t me say a
w o r d about the laws that regulate
them. W e have had on our books f o r
many years the Sherman
Anti-Trust
Laiu.
T h e D u P o n t C o m p a n y is n o w
and has always been heartily i n f a v o r
of that l a w and the safeguards it provides f o r our sj'stem of free, competitive enterprise.
Unfortunately
that
latu states an objective
and
prescribes
no rules so that the ideology
of enforcement
is left to the shifting
winds
of political
thought.
This had led to
continuing
changes
in
interpretation
as one court decision
succeeds
another.
Unfortunately
also, no practical
statute of limitations
applies,-—so
business
frec/uently
finds itself attacked
for acts
done many years ago in all good
faith

maintenance of its position. M o r e
hundreds of millions of dollars w i l l
be required.
The
Sulphur Problem
another sector of the field of
raw
materials there is an additional
problem w h i c h is requiring attention.
It originates i n the domain of coal.
The
sulphur content of many of the
good coking coals, upon which the
steel industry' is coming to depend i n
increasing measure f o r its metallurgical coke, is higher than that of much
of its earlier supplies. I f sulphur is to
be held w i t h i n desirable limits, this
means that progressively more and
more w o r k must be done to control it
somewhere, or perhaps several somewhere along the line of integrated
steel production.
In
A l r e a d y large sums of money have
been spent f o r the washing or beneficiation
of
coal, particularly that
which comes f r o m mechanized mines,
— a n d treatment i n these early stages
on a wider scale is indicated. A s a
part of the over-all attack on the problem,
i n some instances processes have
been installed f o r the desulphurization
of coke oven gas, and methods are on
trial f o r the reduction of the sulphur
content of molten iron, and finally of
heats of steel. A l l of these processes
entail expenditures and costs, but they
are real technical problems which
have strong economic implications,
and must be resolved. T h e y are being
resolved.
Industrial W a s t e Problems
Anyone w h o has been f o l l o w i n g
closely the affairs of industry d u r i n g
the past decade or two has certainly
been impressed w i t h the variety of
problems encountered. T h e y arise i n
every corner of business, and steel is
not an exception. R i g h t now, i n the
interest of incorporating some of that
variety, w e mention the formidable
task involved i n the handling of i n dustrial wastes. T h e subject is an old
one, w o r n smooth by agitation, discussion, and legislation. B u t i t has new
aspects, both technical and economic,
and
is actively i n o u r midst. F o r
many jêars, d u r i n g which municipalities throughout the country generously polluted the inland waters w i t h
sewage, the relatively minor share of
contamination contributed bj^ industrial wastes, had it been completely
eliminated, could hardly have made a
dent i n the over-all condition.
Regulatory Measures
Moreover, the usual regulatory
measures proposed by public authoriTHE

ties were spotty, covered only parts of
the field, and w o u l d have imposed financial burdens on some parts of i n dustry w h i l e others continued unaffected. Such discrimination was considered u n f a i r , as the penalizing of
costs i n one area, as against those i n
another, resulted i n competitive disadvantage. M o r e recently, however,
comprehensive regulations have been
promulgated, applying to cities, towns,
and
industries, so that m a j o r as w e l l
as minor sources of contamination
might be corrected. U n d e r these conditions industry is doing its share, contributing to the general clean-up in
step w i t h the others, and paying some
very large bills to cover its share of
the expense, w i t h more to f o l l o w .
Atmospheric contamination has now
forged to the f r o n t as a very lively
subject, not new, but w i t h renewed
emphasis. Industry has been taking
care of cases f a l l i n g w i t h i n this field,
however, authorities are requesting
that additional attention be devoted
to the control of gases and particulate
matter escaping into the air. Some
enthusiasts have gone to extreme
lengths i n their recommendations, so
much so that water vapor and nitrogen are about the only constituents of
off-gases which have not been the
objects of criticism. C a n you imagine
a f u l l y integrated steel plant operating
as a closed sj'stem ? Assuming that
the matter eventually w i l l be reduced
to a rational basis and held w i t h i n the
realms of reason, industry may still
be faced w i t h some formidable projects w h i c h w i l l tax severely both its
ingenuity and its funds. I n the steel
industry alone, the handling of a l l
condemned waste products, solid, l i q uid,
and gaseous, could require the
expenditure of more than a f e w hundreds of millions of dollars for equipment intalled, to which w o u l d be
added the continuing expense of operating costs.
Industrial Pensions
Economic problems other than those
which directly involve technology are
in ample supply. O n e of the most
prominent at the moment resides i n
the matter of industrial pensions and
social benefits. H e r e is an economic
problem of noteworthj'' magnitude because of the substantial expense i t entails. A large part of the steel industry, f o l l o w i n g a m a j o r labor disturbance a f e w months ago, negotiated a
settlement of the difficulty in terms by
w h i c h a greatly increased
financial
burden was assumed.
Pension plans and those relating to
social benefits were by no means newcomers to the industrial scene. M a n y
of them had been i n eifect f o r long
periods of years prior to 1949. Indus1950
try was thus not startled by the sudden advent of a noval idea nor by one
which i t had not long since practiced
and
endorsed i n priciple. T h e r e was
reason, however, to discuss the merits
of contributory and non-contributory
pensions, to weigh the respective advantages of both schemes, and to look
prudently into the prospective costs
as against the ability of industrial resources to carry the load.
A t this late date we are not pausing
to debate the broad aspects of social
security, such as the extent to which
the individual American worker, i n a
spirit of self-reliance, wishes to assume responsibility f o r his future competence and welfare, or how much of
the obligation reasonably rests w i t h
his employer, or whether additional
recourse i n such matters should be
taken to the government, i n the i n terest of enlarging measures which
bear the brand of state socialism. A
decision pertinent to the current aspects of the subject has already been
made, certain plans are i n process of
adoption, and the financial problem
has been dealt into the hands o f the
steel industrj'.
W h a t sort of complexion does it
present? T h e answers may vary f r o m
company to company, depending upon
the manner i n which the necessary
funds are provided. O n e characteristic of pensions and social benefits is
that the obligation to pay them does
not disappear simultaneously w i t h
lowered earnings or profitless operations, n o r does the need become less
in periods when business is shrinking.
Any
pension plan, to be w o r t h y of
the name it bears, must remain solvent and function i n good times and
in bad. Paj'ments must be made when
due. Hence there is the necessity of
providing some reserve funds, over
and beyond those required f o r current
disbursements under the plan, so that
it may remain operative under a l l conditions. A pension plan has liabilities
arising f r o m past, as w e l l as future,
service credits of the employes.
It is apparent that the financial
problem here posed must be handled
w i t h as much wisdom and foresight
as can be brought to bear. It is likewise understandable that the amount
of money involved, per annum, may
depend not only upon the number of
employes f o r w h i c h a company is responsible, but also upon the particular
measures adopted to assure the continuing validity of the whole scheme.
Pensions C r e a t e H e a v y Burden
As an example of the order of magnitude of the expense, we mention the
proposed method of handling the matter as developed by U n i t e d States
43
Steel. I t has been discussed recently
i n open hearings i n W a s h i n g t o n and
has been presented to a l l of the stockholders of the C o r p o r a t i o n . T h e best
estimates, based upon actuarial studies,
indicate that the annual cost of the
proposed insurance and pension plans
w i l l be $78,000,000, w h i c h is $67,500,000 more than the yearly amount
provided heretofore by U n i t e d States
Steel f o r insurance and
pensions.
Without
attempting to apply
the
$78,000,000 sum as a precise measuring stick to the steel industry in this
matter, but even by using it as a very
rough approximation, one can raise
visions of an increased total annual
expense in excess of two hundred m i l lion dollars f o r the primary steel producing group alone.
O t h e r groups
w i l l add their appropriate shares.
T h e items we have mentioned thus
far,
namely,
the
development of
w h o l l y new ore mines, the activities
involved in the treatment of taconite
ores, the beneficiation of coking coal
and the control of sulphur, measures
f o r the handling of industrial wastes
to minimize contamination of streams
and of the atmosphere, and the new
plans f o r pensions and social benefits,
add up to an impressive financial total.
T h i s is f o r expenditures w h i c h already
are under way and must continue into
the f u t u r e as the programs to w h i c h
they are related come into f u l l bloom.
N o one can say right n o w w h a t the
appropriate figure is, but a guided
guess can easily arrive somewhere between three and f o u r b i l l i o n dollars.
E v e n at that, the list of economic
problems here recounted is f a r f r o m
complete, as there are many other
items w h i c h demand attention. T h e y
too w i l l require funds.
A f e w months ago, after taking
stock of the existing situation and appraising its m a n i f o l d needs as caref u l l y as possible, various units of the
steel industry adjusted and moderately increased the prices of their
products. W h a t happened ? W i t h i n ordinate haste a political hue and cry
was raised, judgment was passed prior
to the ascertainment of facts, and a
public hearing by senatorial committee was arranged. T h e people and
the national economy, it was said,
must be protected against such unwarranted action! O f what magnitude
was the sum of money w h i c h caused
the outburst ? A s s u m i n g that the entire finished annual output of the
steelmakers carried the average increased price of approximately f o u r
dollars per ton, the
added gross
amount the trade w o u l d be asked to
pay was of the order of two hundred
and f o r t y m i l l i o n dollars. It is amazi n g that any such figure should attract

Here is practical informBtion for 4ôlojiisfs,
mining engineers, and others, that will broaden
ihetr understanding of sedimentary products and
their significance. The various methods by which
sediments are transported irom source to site iif
deposition, the products which result from sedimentary processes . . . and the structures which
arise as a result of deposition arc described in

unfavorable attention i n W a s h i n g t o n ,
where taxpayers' money by the billion
is appropriated f o r diverse purposes,
without serious qualms.
We
have been w o r k i n g up to the
point of saying we thought that the
steel industry needed some additional
money to assist in financing the p r o j ects which have been cited as examples
in this discussion. T h e r e are many
other items, omitted but of considerable significance, which have increased
expenses and added to costs. B u t there
is one more subject w h i c h should be
added to our present list because of its
many-sided importance, including that
of its economic bearing. T h e steel i n dustry, if it is to discharge its obligations to its customers, and likewise
f u n c t i o n as a major reliance of the
nation i n periods of great emergency,
must be progressive, modernly equipped, of ample size, solvent, and altogether a world-leader i n its field.
To
Provide For Indusfriai Expansion
I n many quarters, these days, there
is earnest discussion of an over expanding A m e r i c a n economy and of the
necessity for faith i n the future.
W i t h i n recent years the steel industry
has spent approximatelj'^ t w o and one
half billion dollars i n rehabilitation,
modernization, and expansion. T h e
annual ingot capacity of the country
has been brought close to a hundred
m i l l i o n tons, and additional finishing,
as w e l l as anterior facilities, designed
to meet the exacting demands of the
trade, have been installed. Such measures, assuredlj', have not sprung f r o m
a defeatist attitude nor do they indicate a lack of faith i n the future.
T h e r e is more to be done; always the
need f o r more modernization, and, to
meet the changing needs of the times
the prosecution of rationally determined programs of expansion.
T h a t money is required f o r such
projects, as w e l l as f o r the others
which have been enumerated, is readily apparent. W h e r e is the money to
be obtained ? T h e financial people tell
us that one of the logical sources, risk
capital, as usually furnished by i n d i viduals or groups who wish to invest
in industrial enterprises so that their
savings may produce a reasonable return, is r u n n i n g dry. D u r i n g f a i r l y
recent years, the investment of risk
capital through the niedium of stock
issues has declined to a relatively
small portion of its former volume.
T h e heavy burden of taxation laid by
agencies of government upon i n d i v i d uals, as w e l l as upon business concerns, has discouraged the investor be46
cause he has come to feel that the
emphasis is altogether too strongly on
the w o r d , risk.
M o r e o v e r , policies w h i c h persistently attack the idea that a business
should make a profit have dampened
the enthusiasm of those who normally
w o u l d be glad to become partners.
Advocates of socialistic systems, or the
welfare state, along w i t h others who
have their own purposes to serve, look
w i t h glassy eyes upon profits w h i c h
represent five, six, or seVen cents on
each dollar of sales. T h e y profess to
consider them, or at least to refer to
them publicly as excessive, unconscionable, and fantastic. It w o u l d seem
that, in accordance w i t h such philosophy, the stockholder, who has helped
to make industry and employment
possible, should be entirelj'^ forgotten
in the struggle f o r the pennies remaining f r o m the corporate sales d o l l a r !
U n d e r the circumstances, the business enterprise w h i c h needs funds f o r
its necessary projects may go into debt
by borrowing money, if it considers
such procedure wise, or it may use
what is l e f t of its net earnings. A s
prudence demands that debt be kept
w i t h i n safe limits, it is desirable that
recourse be taken, at least i n part, to
financing f r o m earnings. T h e important point i n this connection is that
there be some earnings w i t h w h i c h to
work, f o r otherwise industrj' has on
its hands an economic problem w h i c h
defies ready solution.
Indusfria! W e l f a r e National C o n c e r n
T h e r e is not a citizen of the U n i t e d
States who does not have a deep concern i n the prosperity and welfare of
our whole industrial organization. It
is a national asset of priceless value,
in peacetime or i n w a r . Experience
w i t h i n the memory of a l l of j'OU has
demonstrated that fact. A n .estimated
eighteen m i l l i o n stockholders should
have an interest i n every measure
which affects business, and more than
that many employes, who are integral
parts of the industrial fabric, should
be alert to the fact that the problems
of industry are likewise their problems.
T h e industrial structure of the
country is not strengthened by having
industry serve as a political whippingboy, nor is the ultimate interest of any
i n d i v i d u a l fostered hy m a k i n g private
competitive enterprise weak and i n effective. Y o u , as a select group of
employes, citizens, and perhaps stockholders, can do much to assist i n the
solution of industry's problems, technical and economic, hy providing a
deal of understanding, and an atmosphere of constructive cooperation.

and
with the best legal advice
available.
I do not want to leave the impression that business, whether large or
small, has never made mistakes. A
business is a group of people,
subject
to the same human frailties as people
in any sphere of activity.
W e must
not let the occasional error b l i n d us
to the overriding benefits our indust r i a l system has brought. T h a t system has made A m e r i c a the greatest nation on earth w i t h the highest standard of l i v i n g f o r its people. Its free
development w i l l carry us to new
heights.
Economic Progress Means
Prosperous A m e r i c a
A l l of us w a n t economic progress.
We
a l l w a n t a stronger America—â
more prosperous America-—an ever
better place i n w h i c h to live. T h e benefits of our economy are spread among
all our people, perhaps not so w i d e l y
as we w o u l d like, but nevertheless
more widely than i n any other country.
But
as a nation we are not
content
to stay put.
We are eager to push
ahead — to reach ever higher — to
spread the benefits of our
productive
genius ever
farther.
If we are to do so, we must not
deny the experience of the past. T h i s
nation has g r o w n strong by a l l o w i n g
the forces of the market place to rule
—the business laurels f a l l i n g to whoever is able enough to w i n them, the
law present to insure f a i r play. I do
not see that there is any tenable alternative. In the national
interest
no
steps must be taken that penalize
success, or that discourage
the
efficient
producer from producing. Wê dare not
hobble the willingness of a business to
venture by refusing it the fruits of
its success or by holding out the doubtful privilege of government regulation
when that success has been achieved.
W e can preserve competition only by
allowing it to operate, and so to make
effective the votes of millions of satisfied customers.
It is vital to the strength, happiness
and f u t u r e standard of l i v i n g of the
people of this country that we permit the free exercise of this simple economic function. Small
business,
as
such, must be encouraged
to
grow
larger. A?id large business, capable of
taking the great risks involved
in the
difficult
industrial
tasks,
inust
not
have its sinezus weakened
by political
attrition.
W e as a nation cannot produce if the means to do so are w i t h held f r o m us, and when we can no
longer produce, we as a nation w i l l lie
prostrate before the w o r l d .
