EDITORIAL PAGE
COPPER INDUSTRY TO SUFFER
That the copper industry will ba
one of th® chief sufferers of the
American metal industries is fully
appreciated at this early date. Dur
ing the last 5 years, according to
Geo, Otis Smith, director of the U. S.
Geological Survey, approximately
50 per cent of the copper turned out
by American refiners has been ex
ported almost entirely to the coun
tries now involved lu tha European
war. Some of this copper has been
imported for metallurgical treatment
and the imports will probably be
somewhat restricted on account of
shipping conditions.
During these five years, however,
domestic consumers have taken only
about 63 to 67 per cent of the cop
per produced from mines within the
United States, so It is evident that
there must be a material curtail
ment of production wiile present
conditions prevail. Considerable
copper is of course consumed in
munitions of war and for other
military purposes, but the construc
tive arts of peace are decidedly
more favorable for the copper in
dustry than the destructive art of
war.
American producers have already
greatly curtailed their production,
and it seems almost certain that the
"Output must be materially restricted
for an indefinite period, the length
of which will depend largely on the
European conditions.
Out of the total copper exports
in 1913, valued at $143,000,000,
over $126,000,000 represented metal
In pigs, ingots, and bars, and nearly
all the remainder was exported in
plates, sheets, rods and wire. All
these exports went to European coun
tries with, tho exception of about
$7,000,000 worth, which was sent
mainly to Canada. Both the im
ports and the exports of articles
manufactured of copper and brass
were comparatively small. The ex
ports of articles made from brass
amounted to only about $5,600,000,
on almost negligible quantity com
pared with the domestic consump
tion. The value of the European
exports of articles manufactured
from copper and brass was undoubt
edly many times that of the exports
from the United States. A very
small percentage of the European
exports came to the United States,
so that the war will have little ef
fect on domestic trade.
The opportunity for the Ameri
can manufacturer lies in entering
the foreign markets that were
largely supplied by European ex
ports of manufactures goods. The
| capacity vf the domestic manufac
turing plants has not been strained
to meet consumption and the plants
have not been operated to full ca
pacity, so that as far as manufac
turing facilities are concerned they
are able Lo supply a large part of
any demand from south America,
Africa, Citina, Austrailia, and other
countries. With lack of competition
from Europe and low prices
for crude material the export trade
Bhould be profitable to the manu
facurers and result in the consump
tion of nearly all the domestic pro
duction o! copper.—Mining and En
gineering World.

Nearly All Adult Human Beings Harbor
Germs of Tuberculosis
By Dr. WILLIAM OSLER. Reaius Professor of Medicine at
Oxford University
TUBERCULOSIS may be put into three groups. All of us are in the
first group. So widespread is the bacillus that PRACTICALLY
ALL HUMANS BY THE TIME THEY BECOME ADULTS
HARBOR THE GERM OF THE DISEASE.
WHY DONT WE DIET BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GUINEA PIGS OR
RABBITS. WE HAVE OBTAINEB A CERTAIN IMMUNITY. BUT THE
GERM IS IN US, ALTHOUGH NEGATIVE, AND WITH ALL OF US THERE
IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SLIPPING INTO THE TWO OTHER GROUPS.
The second group comprises those in whom the disease is active
enough to produce symptoms, but in whom there is the possibility of
arrest or cure with restoration to working health. THOSE IX THE
THIRD GROUP ARE DOOMED. The disease progresses week by
week, month bv month, year by year, and from ONE YEAR TO FIVE
SEES THE END.
WHEN WORKERS HAVE LIVING WAGES, WHEN THE HOUSE BE
COMES THE HOME, WHEN THE NATION SPENDS ON FOOD WHAT 11
NOW SPENDS ON DRINK, THEN, INSTEAD OF HUNDREDS OF THOU
SANDS, THERE WILL BE MILLIONS IN THE FIRST GROUP, WiTH
PRACTICALLY CONTINUED IMMUNITY. THE ENEMY HAS BEEN
TRACKED TO ITS VERY STRONGHOLD. WHICH IS DEFENDED BY THE
THREE ALLIES—POVERTY, BAD HOUSING AND DRINK.
