Meyer D. Rothschild, OF the jewellers
Vigilance Committee. told the conven-
ton of the Retail Jewellers Associa-
ton at the Hotel Astor yesterday that
suggestions for boycott of platinum
jewelry were inspired by chemists who
sought to force down tho price of
platinum by false appeal to patriot
ism.
Enlarging upon his address, Mr..
Rothschild. who is president Of the
American Gem and Pearl Company.
said last night there was no shortage
of platinum for munitions plants, nor
any likelihood of it. He said prices
were about so per cent higher than be-
fore the war, but that the reserves OF
platinum available in an emergency
were many times the maximum used by
munitions makers.
The platinum was available to all. he
asserted and it was simply matter of
entering a competitive market and pay
ing the market price. England had not
found it necessary to prohibit the
manufacture Of platinum jewelry. he
pointed out, even after nearly three
years of war. To do so in the United
States. he thought, would threaten the
existence of the entire jewelry bust
ness-a delicately balanced trade, that
already was reacting to the assaults of
the chemists.
Question of Competition
Certainly" he said. "the United
States Steel Corporation is as we'll
qualified to enter the market and buy
platinum at 800 or s110 an ounce as is
Tiffany e. Co. AS for the government,
it would not buy an ounce of platinum
if you offered it to it to-day"
In talking at the Astor Mr.. Roths-
child pointed out that platinum, which
is used in munitions plants in the
concentration of sulphuric and nitric
acid, is utilized again and again, the
metal after years of use showing a
loss of only | per cent. He quoted the
United States Geological Survey to
show that the maximum amount of
platinum in use at any one time in the
munitions plants of the country was
only $4,000 ounces, while the total
amount of the metal in the country was
estimated by the survey at 100000
ounces.
It was after the American Chemical
