OUR MUNITIONS RESOURCES

[From the Providence Journal
Some public interest has been stirred
by the action of the War Department
in calling for full and exact informa-
tion of the private facilities available
for providing the army with munitions.
But there appears to be nothing sig
nificant about it, excepting that the
country's resources have grown tre-
mendously since the last returns. 1t
is the practice of the military authori-
ties to have such information at hand
at all times and to keep it up to date.
Normally, the facilities of the Govern
ment arsenals are an approximately
fixed proportion of the aggregate re-
sources for manufacturing munitions.
But the phenomenal expansion of pri-
vate industry, in response to orders
from Europe calls for special in
quiry.
1t is expressly stated in the letter
addressed by the Ordnance Bureau to
the manufacturers that the Govern
ment is not in the market, nor is there
any idea of building up reserve stores
to a war basis. At the same time, the
lesson of the European war is that
calculations, by which the military au-
thorities have heretofore arrived at
their estimates for the annual replen-
ishment of permanent supplies, must
be revised. Congress will undoubtedly
be asked for larger appropriation.

sTEEIroN,s PROGRESS

CTEELTON, despite the dull times
y in the iron industry, is making
rapid strides. When the tide of
prosperity returns to flood there will
be no buster nor happier town any
where.
The steel company is laying the
foundations of a gigantic industry
there for the manufacture of products
that have not heretofore been made at
the Steelton plants. Part of this ma
chinery is in operation. More remains
to be completed. And the borough,
too. is awake to it's interests.
Tourists ordinarily avoid towns of
Steeltons size where possible for the
reason that for the most part their
streets are not fit for automobile
travel Not so, Steelton, however.
There is no better automobiling in the
East than over the smooth wood block
paving of Front street. Another evil
dence of the progressiveness of Steel
ton people is the recent organization OF
q Board of Trade by the merchants OF
that town. In every way the iron town
to the south of us is qualifying as fit
neighbor for the capital city of the
State.

was for the purchase of potash, the
ing employed at wages which enabled
the men to be good customers of the
clothier and the food producer. and
the country was the possessor of new
industry, which would, If properly fos-
tered, render us wholly independent
of Germany.
Then came the destructive tariff leg
islation of the Democratic party, which
sneaked into the Capitol through a
crack in the protective party wall.
The duty on oxanc acid was cut 25
per cent. This was too low for pro-
lection. but it gave the foreign syndi-
cate the opportunity 1t sought to dump
oxalic acid on this market and they
lost no time in taking advantage OF
1T. The first quarter of the fiscal year
1914, under Republican law, 100000
pounds were imported; the second
quarter. when the Underwood law
took effect. 1,T20260 came in; the
third quarter. 100000; the fourth
quarter, 2,S50, 900 pounds. Then came
the war; acting as a high tariff. and
the American company is now recov-
ering from the shock. Even yet, how
ever, the importations for the ten
months ending April, 1915, amounted
to 4,300,000 pounds. If that n cent
duty remains in the law when the war
has ended, Germany will hand the
American company a side-winder
from which it will never recover, and
another skeleton will be found lying
alongside the Democratic trail.
And what is happening to the OK
alic acid industry is happening to
many others. The Telegraph merely
cites an example.

POPULAR AND PROPER

TINE River Front is to be lighted
i in time for the big celebration
in September The Telegraph's s
course in approving the plans of coun-
ell and the electric light company is
not only proper, but it has proved
popular as well. The people want this
Improvement and they approve the
efforts of both the city officials and
the corporation to give them the lights
as the finishing touch to the great city
Improvement plan so constantly sup
ported by this newspaper and the
public at large. without the lights the
celebration would be incomplete. The
Telegraph is quite ready to assume its
share of responsibility in urging that
the work be pushed to the earliest pos
sible conclusion.
fNthere is one virtue in the form of
government under which Harrisburg
is now operating it is that it permits
of prompt action in emergencies.
When the Clark bill was under con-
sideration in the legislature we were
told that as a law it would be far less
burdensome than the two council
form, that it would cut the strings of
official red tape and permit the city's
private corporation. In some re-
spects this has worked out as forecast
ed and the problem of placing the
lights in the brief time remaining for
the task was solved along that line.
Council and the electric company came
to an understanding that nobody de-
MES is exceptionally favorable to the
city and without lot of red tape the
work was begun. That's all there is
to it.
Yet those who were most insistent
for the new law and most vigorous in
their contentious for the conduct of
public business on a business basis
are the first to object. If the good
names of conscientious officials were
not involved and if the welfare of the
city were not endangered by this fond
ness for mud bathing the attack
would be worthy of a niche in the
laughing gallery.

MADE IN AMERICA"

NXALIC acid is used in tanning,
~ calico printing, wooden and silk
dyeing, and in various bleach
ing processes, especially the bleaching
of straw for hats and bonnets. The
laundries also use nearly 5000, 600
pounds year in whitening shirts and
collars. From eight to ten million
pounds are annually consumed in this
country, and prior to 1903 it all came
from Germany. England, Norway. Bel
gium and Austria, which countries had
combined to form a syndicate to con-
troll the price all over the world.
Prices to the United States at that
time ranged from to IL cents a
pound The syndicate was controlled
by Germany, from which came three
fourth Of the acid.
In 1903 the manufacture of oxaIic
acid was undertaken on a small scale.
eXperimentally, in this country, the
plant being located in this State. No
sooner did the construction of this
plant come to the attention of the syn
dicate than prices dropped, in 1903 to
Al cents; 1904, as cents; 1905, Al
cents; 1906, 81 cents. This sort of
price-cutting knocked the American
company out of the ring. and imme-
diately the oxalic syndicate raised the
price to III cents, and in 1907 to 9
cents. In 1908 the American COM
pany made another start. and the syn
dicate dropped the price to 6k cents.
The Republican revision of the tar
if was up about that time, and the
American company presented figures
which induced Congress to give a pro-
tective duty of cents a pound on
oxalic acid. This duty was based SOLE
ly on the difference in cost Of common
labor at home and abroad, per pound
of product, and did not take into ac-
count the overhead charges and SELL
ing costs. When this duty went into
effect the foreign price went to IN
cents, where it remained through
1910. 1911 and 1912. BY some pretty
close figuring the American company
was able to operate at a profit, and il
acted as a check on the foreign syn
dicate methods of price controlling. A
large share of the annual consumption
was being manufactured in the United
stateF.andthe onlymoney going abroad

PRICES For DOLLARS

LFrom the New York World1
The Generalization in the foreign
exchange market of New York is OF
extraordinary intensity. Sterling bills
fell to s4.64, which is the lowest figure
within living memory. 1t amounts to
a premium of An per cent; on the
dollar in pounds sterling. Exchange
on Paris, Berlin and Italy is at far
worse discount.
This is a situation for England and
soon demand heroic measures in the
high prices in dollars for American
miums for the dollars with which to
Sterling viii go to $425. II it Should.
that would mean a premium of 12 per
cent. for the dollars with which to pay
prices already high.
This involves an enormous addition
to the costs of prosecuting the war.
lit suggests a decided lapse from the
gold standard even in England 1t
cannot go on without serious inter-
ference with the American export
trade. Why immediate steps are not
taken TO remedy the situation, either
through exports of gold this way or
the placing here of loans. passes the
und derstanding.
England and France have gold
enough to meet this crisis and viii
then have plenty to spare. But as
matters stand. they might as well be
doing business on inconvertible paper
issues. as the United States did in the
Civil War.

and taxpayers who so generously came

are not the men to haggle over techni-

kind of citizens.
Nothing now remains but to adver-
