Our Mineral Wealth

From the Review of Reviews.
 The United States Is not only the worlds greatest producer of mineral wealth, but it possesses by far the great est known reserves of any nation, in most of the important minerals. This is one of the things that has made us great, and which is destined to make us far greater as measured by world standards. In some instances, such as coal anu oil. and phosphate rock. and radium ore. the United States possesses more than all the other known deposits of the world. and the onlyf essential minerals of the first rank of which the United States has no known supply at all commensurate with it's needs are nitrates, potash salts, tlns nickel and platinum. The very empha- sizing of this fact by the cutting or oI importations may result In the discovery and development of these minerals. But as 1t stands today no other nation in tho world so nearly approaches absolute in- dependence in respect to mineral re- sources, notwithstanding the vast magnf- tude of our home consumption.
 The European war may curtah the pro- duction and exportation of some Amer ican minerals, but 1t will result in de- veloping at home many others which we import and in establishing new industries on A permanent basis. When the foreign countries emerge from their struggle and seek to regain the American markets for these products they will find the markets occupied, established on a firm American footing. and they will never regain them

 Once broken, we cast them aside. And then. for time, they're forgotten

 To enter once more in the strife. But farther along toward the twilight
