TaMe of Zinc.

ZINC, once considered by the Romans to be an
impurity in coins, has risen in respect in
the world until now it ranks almost with cop
per in quantity production. During the reign OF
Augustus Caesar zinc first reached good stand
ing. It was discovered that by melting guam
tity Of calamine, the natural zinc carbonate,
with copper, a yellow alloy Of q much brighter
shade than bronze, and hence much more at
tractive as coin metal, could be produced. This
alloy later became known as calamine brass.
Production Of zinc in Europe for the manu-
facture of this brass attained fair proportions,
and during the sixteenth and seventeenth CEN
turtles small amounts were imported from China.
To an alchemist named Paracelsus born in
1493, goes the credit for first isolating zinc as
O true metal. Agricola later discovered metallic
zinc in the cracks Of lead-copper furnace in
the Hartz Mountain area, and in 1856 he was
able to describe it and give its chemical and
physical properties.
The manufacture of brass was given consid-
cradle impetus during the fifteenth century in
Belgium, at Goslar, in the Hartz, and in
Beuthen, Silesia. Later, in the sixteenth cen.
tury. 1t became an industry Of Surrey. England.
It remained for the chemist of 1740, however.
TO smelt out the pure metallic zinc on q COM
mercial scale. Prior to that the manufacture
Of brass was accomplished with the use of the
calamine ore.
Starting with the nineteenth century, the
increase in the use Of zinc was decidedly
CELEBRATED. During the first decade the produce
ton was estimated at 5000 tons. In the NTH
decade the output had jumped to $4,000 tons,
and for the half century the total was 635 900
TONS The output of the second half century
reached the amazing total Of IL, 100000 tons, or
an increase Of 1900 per cent. The accelera-
ton has continued, and in the last year for
which the census has been taken, 1927, the out
put was 1,444 900 tons, total equal to tho
production of the first 60 years of the nine
teenth century.
Nearly one-third of the entire worlds output
of zinc has been produced in the United States.

A LII is not sugar for the sweet potato grower.
for of all raisers of vegetables he suffers
about the heaviest loss. An average Of fully
40 per cent Of his crop is lost each year

The losses occur either In the field, in trans

tato Is easily wounded. In fact, when it Is

any one of the lurking organisms is thus en-

BY WILLIAM ii. FORT.

NEW YORK, September 20 (N.A.N.Ao
1t is the opinion of some American
economists that the bank for inter-
national settlements in its operation
as an agency for the exchange Of world
credits and as it grows in power and
influence in world affairs may direct
those operations into channels that will
affect disadvantageously the credit OF
the United States.
In both Europe and the United States
scare opinions to that effect have been
published.
The international bank is to be sit
by directors of whom all but two or
three will be European flnanciers.
Therefore, some critics insist, 1t Is more
than likely that the bank will work for
Europe'S interests to the serious harm
of the United States.
: Fear U. S. Desires Will BE Lost.
1.-THE requirements of the United
States for credit" to quote one criti-
cism, may be lost sight of in the desire
Of these bank directors to carry out
some policy in the interest OF foreign
governments and peoples"
To other American economists close
" in touch with the situation this dam
ger appears so remote as to be neg
ligible.
TT must not be forgotten" said one
OF these, that the world bank was for
mulated in the first instance as neces-
sity. Germany never would have as
sumed such heavy obligations without
It, There has been and will continue
to be much criticism of 1t as plan
: But it must not be lost sight of that
flaws can be picked in any plan. 1t Il
not contended that this scheme Is
flawlesS.
Rather it was considered as the
most expedient agency that coulc
be desired at the time to perform
what has to be performed. namely
to guarantee to both Germany anc
her creditor nations that the deb
payments will be collected and paid II
as simple a manner as possible and II
a manner which would guarantee thu
least interference Of politics.

will do the work required Of 1t, and do
1t simply and efficiently"
Central Banks Are Cited.
One grave fear expressed several
times is that this international bank
will not remain the non-political
agency its originators planned. 1t has
been said the central banks Of Europe
are far from free from the influence
by some that the directors Of the bank,
in pointing its policies, may forget the
interests Of the United States.
Secretary OF State Stimson, speaking
for the Government of the United
States May Is, said that this Govern
ment does not desire to have any Amer
lean official, directly or indirectly, par
ticipate in the collection of German
reparations through the agency of this
bank or otherwise. And for
that reason it will not permit any off,
cial of the Federal Reserve system either
to serve themselves or to select Ameri-
can representatives as members of the
proposed international bank"
Though the directorate of the inter-
national bank is to be made up of the
governors Of the central banks of the
seven nations whose experts partici-
pated in the Paris conference and their
nominees-the United States, Great
Britain, Germany, France. Italy, Japan
and Belgium-Mr. Stimson's position
would seem to leave this country with
out oficial representation in the bank S
direction. How, then, can the United
States protect itself against possible ac-
tions by this foreign directorate which
might react to the disadvantage OF
American interests?
The answer. it is explained. is that
the United States will be adequately
represented. Not only will the United

Regarding foreign control Of the bank

economists look. at it-that Is impos-
sible.
"The United States occupies O UNIQUE
position" said one economist. "For the
first time In centuries practically all the
wealth of the world is lodged In one
country, and the United States finds it.
self the great creditor nation. 1t will
be, moreover, many years before it Is
displaced from this secure position.
1.-THE international bank Is to be con-
trolled by the central banks of the seven
principal countries. All of the rest of
these banks owe us money. They have
to come to us FOR their gold. They are
backed by American money--all OF
them. In such q condition of affairs
should think we should have our share
our full share, of influence.
what does 1t matter whether we
have two directors or ten? The result
is the same. They cannot function
without us. Not only will we be ade-
quately protected; it is hard to see how
they can possibly do anything of which
we do not approve"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-09-20

that the Federal Reserve system would
not cooperate with the international
bank, for cooperation on the part OF
the Federal Reserve system, 1t is ex-
planned, is inevitable. Therefore, the
Federal Reserve, though not of1ciany
represented on the directorate, will be
to all intents and purposes cooperating
with the international bank.
AS matter of fact, when the pro-
posed bank begins to function no exist
ing central bank can help participating
in its operation. For example, II the
international bank places millions oil
dollars to the credit of the Federal Re-
serve banks of New York and Chicago
these banks can hardly refuse to accept
it. 1t is we'll known that representatives
of the central banks long ago recog-
nized the need of consulting together In
the interests Of their own countries.
Suppose, for example, American bust
ness and agriculture required better
markets in Germany or France. To get
them the United States might have to
lend financial aid. just a. any business
man tries to make things easy for a
good customer. There always has to be
such cooperation. and the international

Before the plans for the proposed
bank for international settlements were
incorporated into the Young agree
ment the central banks OF the seven
nations involved were consulted. 1t is
significant that without exception they
expressed themselves as strongly ap-
proving the formation of such an insti-
tuition.

States be represented, IL necessarily
will almost completely control the ac-
lions and policies Of this proposed world
institution.
1t is pointed out that neither when
the Dawes plan was formulated nor at
the recent Paris conference did the
United States have an official repre-
sentative. Yet Americans headed both
commissions as chairmen and each plan
carries the name of an American.
At each conference 1t was an Ameri-
can who exerted the dominating infiu-
ence, and, aside from personal factors,
this was true for the same reason that
Americans will hold the dominating
control of the proposed international
3ank. Those Americans represented, even
though unoflcially, the most powerful
Nation, the Nation to which the rest of
the world looks for economic guidance.
When Secretary StimSon refused to
allow the Federal Reserve system 20
participate in the direction of the world
bank his refusal did not mean that the
United States was to 20 unrepresented.
That was provided for-the governors
of the European central banks will in
vite two American hnanciers to join
the directorate. Upon their acceptance
they will become the actual representa-
tives of the United States, and will be

When European nations invite Amer
