reasons for speedy ratification of the treaty. he
pointed out that the copper mines of Arizona,
Montana and Alaska are operating at loss
that the zinc mines of Missouri, Tennessee and
Wisconsin producing but half their nor
NAL output; that the lead Of Missouri, Idaho
and Illinois reaches only portion of its for
mer market; that the sale of cotton in the CEN
tral empires and other parts of Europe is i'm
possible and that many other commodities can
not be marketed because the channels of trade
are barred until the resumption of commercial
relations is made possible by the ratification
of the treaty. Those nations which first con-
clude peace will also be the first to enjoy pros
perity.
