In limes ol ptvii' approximately a"
per cent of the output has luen u -eil
in this country. ilie balance in Europe.
Copper might lie ealleii a "popular"
metal. because ot its adaptability and
availability when used as is the case
in large quantities in the form of wire
lor telephone, tor telegraph. Inr elec-1
lie lighting, for elei'irie transmission
ot power, because it is tile best known
conductor of electric current. Other
metals have been tried out for this
purpose without complete success
nothing has been found to take its
place and give anything like the same
results in use, and when because of
changed conditions it must be re
placed, the old wire is sold at prac
tically the price of new copper It isj1
therefore not only an essential but an j J
economical article of commerce. It)
blends with spelter, tin. aluminum and;
other metals, constituting a large and
essential part of nearly all forms of
munitions, and is used extensively in
many other lines of war work, such us j
ships, locomotives, ears, aircraft, etc.
j l or three years the allies drew the'
major part of their t cquiretiients trout j
this country, the balance emuing from
Spain, Australia, Son t li Africa and.
Japan. For the past year, and in j
gn Iter degree during recent months, |
the scarcity of ships has cut off much
ot the supply from these sources, andj
this country is expected to provide
practically the entire requirements ol
allies, the Ftiiled Slates government
and the industries. For l lie past nine
months since price bxing was inau
gurated the producers have re
sponded to ttiis demand to the utmost
ol their aidin', regardless of mst of
product ion. or of well ordered develop
ment in their properties, and with butj
oil.' thought I" get out MI.' cuppci.j
In iliis period. lulmr disputes had to
In st'iilt'il wages had to be advanced,
costs of all kinds have gone up leaps j
mid I ouiius. due in par! to tin neves-!
;iiy of maintaining maximum output j
in order to meet increasing demands.
.Many causes have contributed to tin*
dilfTulties of sustaining this needed
production at the highest level, such
as the general and universal shortage
ol , tiil'ient labor; the difficulty in se
curing supplies and fuel; and. perhaps
most of all. the embargoes placed by.
the railroads during the early months |
of the year, which caused a tie-up oil
large quantities of unrefined metal,
which, being subsequently released,
now overtaxes the capacity of the
cits tern refineries.
There Is danger in the situation in
that there are no available stocks of,
refined copper, so that any accident j
or misfortuno to any of the principal
refineries would render conditions
critical at once.
Copper Is equally Important in war
work as steel and coal; perhaps more
urgently demanded because of the rel
atively smaller supply. It ts well
known that not only now, but looking
ahead to the future, there promises
to be a ehortage of steel and coal As
to roppor, the orders now on books
of the selling agencies are far in ex
cess of supply, and the oversold posi
tion of the metal that has existed for
the past nine months is likely to con
tinue far Into the future.
(liven the two conditions (1), short
supply, (2), urgent demand, it seems
te be Imperatively neceeeary to find
i remedy that will bring them closer
together than is now the case, if such
\ thing is possible The most natural
md logical means of accomplishing
this is to not only see to it that ex
isting p.nduciiig facilities art* forced,
to their utmost limit, but that new
producing capacity should he devel

PAIS TRIBUTE IB ITALI
I’HILADKLPHIA, July 2d. Will
iam Potter, former ambassador to
Italy, and now federal fuel adminis
trator for Pennsylvania, says it Is
time to give the Italian nation credit
lor the grt»at part she has played in
the war.
"Just consider.” said Mr. Potter,
what might have been the fate of the
allies had Italy, with her army and
navy, gone with the central powers.
France at the outbreak of the war
would hate had to divide her army
to protect her Italian frontier.
"The small but brave little British
army would have been powerless to
assist France both on the western
and Italian fronts. Italy remained
neutral until her weakened army was
strengthened, cast her lot with the
allies and helped to hold the Huns un
til America came into the war.
"Let the American people show
their gratitude to Italy by placing
everywhere the Italian flag among Old
Glory, the Union Jack, the Trlcolot
of France and the flag of brave little
Belgium. “
