that only a few hundred men were
employed in producing less than 10
per cent of the Nations manganese

basis for the original manganese
tariff" Adkerson declared. "and the
War Department has for years given
its active support to the development
of domestic manganese deposits for
national defense purposes.

Neither the War Department nor
the Tennessee Valley Authority, he
said, took part in the negotiations or
