FUTURE OF COPPER
The copper industry in all sections
of Alaska is due for a long period of
expansion and activity if we are to j
believe a writer in the North Anieri-j
can Review. He says:
"The end of the war will find areas
in Europe and Asia, inhabited by one
hundred and fifty million people, prac
tically without a pound of copper, and
w hen to these we add the territories j
that Germany has overrun and tie
spoiled we will have a population of
not less than two million who will be
in a state of copper famine."
It may be that he is exaggerating!
slightly, hut there is much truth in J
what he says. We know that there!
will be a great scarcity, and that al
though substitutes may be used in !
spine of the industries, in many it is
practically indispensable, and the de
mand will be enormous.
We have* only to look at the copper
resources oi the world to see where
the great amount is coming from. The
copper in the countries which are now
dominated ip insufficient tor Us needs
in peace, to say nothing of war times.
The conclusion will see it without
the areas from which It gets Us do
fliestic supply at present. There are!
mines in Serbia and Turkey. Those j
in Serbia are not very extensive and j
"ere partly demolished as the conn '
try "as captured by the Huns, the
loyal Serbs preferring to ruin their
mines rather than to let the Hun use!
them In Turkey the copper area is,
very extensive and hard to get at. and j
the ores arc ol a very poor grade
The wastage among the allies as
well as among the Huns has been |
very great, and even though after the!
war their supply may not be com
pletely exhausted it will be very short
and thev will have to look for new
Helds lor their own copper as well j
as tor copper to see the rest of the|
world
The allies at the present time have
till of the big copper regions of the
world open to them. The one great
undeveloped copper region is in
northwest North America. Other re
pious are being developed to the limit j
and can not supply enough The timei
element stands in the wav of Alaska's
development and men are short When
the war pressure Is relieved they will
have time to go after the copper of
the Northwest, and then we will see
the great development The promi
nence of the Alaskan Helds which are
accessible gives proof of the good
times that are coming

ARE YOU FILLING THE SHIPS?
Ships! Ships! More food ships!
This is the cry of the allies.
We have had to treble our original
program of shipping troops and ac
coutrements in order to meet this
omergeney and at the same time keep
up our enormous shipments of food to
the allies we have had to meet one
of the greatest crises that a nation
ever had to meet.
Our problem was Intensified lie
cause of our lack of ships. Before
the war we had sixty-eight shipyards
in this country, against England's
•too. Now, however, we exceed all tha
allies in the number of ships we can
turn ouL Our average is'one and a
half ships a day The shipping board
hopes soon to raise this output to two
ships floated daily, or an increase of
300,000 tons of ships a month.
This Is the way the shipbuilders of
this country have responded to that
insistent cry across the water, “More
ships of food!”
Have you answered it? Have you
don** your part to save the wheat to
till these ships?
Recently the Reiman ration was
auitn in: <I >■ :i so that now a tnan
or • . ; an ets less than a loaf of
bread a day. aliont a fourth ol a slice
: I.. and less than one and a
half teaspoons ot rice or dried peas or
hacon
] it too much to ash that we. com
putable. well red and safe in America,
should to the best ol our endeavors
save wheat and the other foods needed
for these people?

Contentment May Be Attained by True
Simplicity and Devotion
By NORMAN HAPGOOD U> U*l».
—» — — suM1*»mawflt* —a* «u m. - - —•
Why is it few people cun act on truths put forth by great thinkers;
for example, that the unselfish are happier than the selfish? In discussing
the progress of fellowship in industry, people constantly speak to me
as if granting benefits to labor were a “sacrifice.” So, as we are consti
tuted, I suppose it is. Why is it not rather a privilege? Do we not
know in our hearts that simplicity and devotion give a contentment no
accumulation of muterial things can rival? Is it not mere lack of cour
age that keeps us from trying in our own lives just a little of the New
Testament? Indeed, is there anything more tragic than to die without
aver having given the great spiritual truths a chance in practice?
I have been looking carefully into the early stages of co-operation in
n small manufacturing plant. The plnn started about h year ago. All
questions concerning factory employment go first to a committee in which
most of the members are factory' employees. The head of the concern
has differed with the committee but once, and then lie was right, as when
he stated his view the committee voluntarily reversed its previous decision
by something like ten to one. This concern last year paid exactly the
same dividends on wages that it paid on capital. The president of the
company intends to carry the plan further-, as far as control goes, as rap
idly as the education of the employees makes it possible. Ffe has no desire
to pile up such a fortune that neither he nor his descendants for gs»
eratious will know the necessity of doing their share in order to live
He is without fear and without indolence. I know him and I know also
many of the other type of capitalists, who cling to all the power and all
the profits.
Train Women in Poise and Judgment
\ for Better Government of World

1 would not have woman usurp man’s place in world affairs, bat 1
would have her reach an equal footing with him. I do- not believe She
rig’.it. to govern should be entrusted solely to man or entirely to wonowr.
I would have them divide the right. And by dividing the right they would
arrive at the balanced view {mint which would be a benefit to humankind.
It would efface from government many, if not all, of the rviis that pre
vail. Some man-made laws are- perfectly ridiculous, but s-> would soma
woman-made laws lie, if she were allowed to build them alone.
Woman’s entrance into publn- life is not so objectionable as it once
was because what she is doing isr commendable work. She- has become
accustomed to seeing herself in the public eye. It has been her club
training that has fitted her to go out into civic life and which has quali
fied her for the part she is playing. While 1 regret woman-’* entrance
into business affairs, while I am sorry she must go out from, her home,
conditions today decree she must,, amt there remains nothing; lor her to
do hut to go on.
But before she makes her move into public life 1 believe-a woma:
should have some sort of training to fit lier for those trials and'responsi
bilities with which she intends to burden herself. There should be a
school for the study of government, and to this institution I would not
only send woman hut man as well.
1 would first be sure she was fitted for her work in whatever apher >
she enters, and 1 would he snre of her integrity and honesty and truth
fulness. 1 do not believe women should be appointed to office through
social influence, and those seeking positions should be the last to be rec
ognized.
