Germany, Iron and War.

In connection with the claim of DR.. New
ell Dwight Hills, in his lecture at the
Chautauqua in Payette recently, that the
war in Europe was contest to control the
output of iron ore in Europe, some figures
compiled in an editorial by the New York
Times are interesting.
According to the Times the pig iron pro-
duction ofEurope was 44,274, 900 tons in
1913, the last full year of uninterrupted
industry. OF that amount Germany pro-
duced 100000 tons, Great Britain pro-
duced 1O,50O,OOO, France 5,225,O00 and
Belgium, 2,319,00O
Germany has conquered practically all of
Belgium and holds possession of very
large proportion Of the coal and irCn re-
sources of France. About 80 per cent Of
Frances coal deposits are in the depart
ments of Nord and Pas re Calais, and fully
80 per cent of her iron mines are in the de-
partment of Meurthe ct Moselle. Germany
has occupied only about 81 per cent of
French territory, but that 81 per cent in
cludes these three provinces.
The Times to be conservative, estimates
that only one-half of the total pig iron cap
acity of France is in German hands, and
arrives at the following figures showing
Teutonic control of pig iron in tons:
Germany ."..... ....... ..........,. l9, ,O00, 600
Austria Hungary ...... g 1886 900
belgium ...,,..Z ,olJ,UUO
France go per cent? .. ...,.,,,.2, 900
Total ct, ,,.......,,.......".,26,2 266, 900
The allies control of pig iron is only
18,007, 900 tons, divided as follows:
Great Britain n,,...,...,,..,o.",,.."lO, DOC, 600
France go per cent? .... .,......,. 2,612,000
Russia 4(0,OUU
ilil ''''''t''''''''''''' fIO,OOo
The United States is the only great non
European source of iron. In 1913 this
country produced more pig iron than Ger
many and Great Britain together. That is
why the allies are looking to the United
States to offset Germany's control of iron,
for iron wins modern war.
