Hits Double Price
System for Copper
BY LEWIS HANEY

be done TO increase production. oil
as the Washington boys put II
Ito stimulate new production.
They propose TO do this by dis
tinguishing between "old produc'
ton" and new production" The
former would continue to receive
II cents; the latter would get Ii
cents.
OF course, the refined copper
would all be the same and high.
cost copper can't be told from the
low-cost product. What they pro.
pose is 10 take the 1910 rate OF
production and establish a fixed
basic tonnage for each present
producer, TO be paid IL cents q
pound. Anything over this. and>the
product of new companies, would
get the accent figure.
In my opinion. this scheme Is
undesirable in every way.
II is extremely complex n d
difficult TO enforce.
Above all, il will certainly fail
TO give the maximum stimulus &c
production, and will be slower in
getting results than TO allow a
fiat rise in price TO IA cents for
all copper.
II would increase the tendency
TO destroy individual initiative
and strengthen the thrift into
socialistic experiments.
The simplest and most effec-
tive way is the way of experience
and economic science. This is "a
fix one price for all copper OF
the same grade. allowing figure
high enough 10 cover the cost OF
highest-cost production that may
be required. Then any profits
in excess of a reasonable return
on enterprise may easily be taken
by taxation.
! went through this thing in the
first World War. IL the young
men now in Washington will take
the trouble 10 learn by experience
they will quit worrying about the
small high-cost mines which nor
mally can't produce. They will
stimulate production by the more
efficient producers.
The chief sources of new copper
should be from the low grade ores
OF the large producers who are
already at work. All that is
needed is a higher price 10 make
the recovery Of copper from such
ores profitable and 10 enlarge
plant capacities for that purpose
Just let the active copper in
dustry do the job. and pay II well
for It's efficiency.

As they approach economic de-
cisions, business men and politl-
clans tend 10 differ over their
respect for the concept Of cost.
The political view has been
articulated by Leon Henderson.
head of the OPACS. In dealing
with expanding industries. such
as steel, Henderson takes the view
that per unit cost savings result
ing from operating nearer 10 full
capacity can absorb increased
wages without corresponding price
increases. II that view is sound,
then il would logically follow that
the converse is also true.
But apparently Henderson does
not accept the proposition that
