Make Survey For
Strategic Minerals

BUTTE, Jan. 28-Montana's min
eral resources survey, a part OF the
state WPA national defense pro-
gram, has just completed survey
of the Potosi mining district, 10
miles from Pony, the third of its
kind to be completed during the last
few months. Previously surveyed
and to be reported upon are man.
ganese deposit south of Ennis and a
nickel deposit southeast Of Dillon.
Sponsored by Montana School of
Mines, the project is under the di-
rection Of President F. A. Thomson.
Carl Trauerman, president OF the
Montana Mining association, is state
supervisor.
The report on the Potosi mining
district will be finished within the
next few weeks complete with maps
showing mineral deposits. Reports
are to be made also on the other
two deposits and forwarded to the
Bureau of Mines and the War de-
partment in Washington, D. c.
Results OF the Potosi survey show
there are several hundred thousand
tons of tungsten (tubnerite), low
grade ore which will probably av-
erage one half Of one per cent, pres
ent in the area. Tungsten is stra-
tegic mineral used for hardening
tool steel and for radio lamp fila
ments. Since about so per cent OF
the present supply comes from
China, a supply which is being grad
ually cut off, the find is of consid-
cradle Importance.
The two survey reports soon avail
able concern the manganese deposit
is miles south of Ennis and the
nickel deposit 20 miles southeast OF
Dillon. Manganese is used in the
manufacture of high grade steel and
nickel is used extensively in almost
every kind OF war material.
The projects field work policy
is to investigate all strategic min
eral deposits brought to attention
and, upon recommendation of the
sponsor, to make a superficial field
examination, including mapping
sampling and making report or
availability of power, water, timber
and transportation.
Providing technical supervision
can be obtained, six crews Of 10 mer
each will begin additional survey:
as soon as weather permits. The
next work will be with antimon,
deposits near Thompson Falls anc
Dillon and with chrome deposits ir
Carbon and Madison counties.
In order to bring to light many
strategic deposits Of minerals previ
ously surveyed which have beer
dormant since the last war, the prof
ect is editing and bringing up to date

ing districts for both metallic ane

RooseveIt's Speech
Seen Smoothing Way
For Leahy in France
Frenchmen Could Receive
No Greater StimuIont,
Pertinux Believes
By PERTINAX.

Within few days, Admiral
William D. Leahy, the new Amer
lean Ambassador to France, will
arrive at Vichy. But another am
bassador of the United States Gov
ernment has already preceded him,
not In Vlchy but practically in every
French home-President RooSevelt's
speech, delivered Sunday night,
Which British radio stations now
keep broadcasting all the while.
1t is enough that one Frenchman
In 10000 should hear it for all the
others to know
Let us imagine the impact of
such an address on the average man
In a downtrodden country. The Presi-
dent, on the strength of the reports
and information available to him,
declares that. in the end, the Nazi
revolution will succumb and that
the material power of Great Britain
Is on the increase. He repudiates
the motto Business as usual
which. unfortunately, rang in the
ears of French and British from
September. 1899, to May, 1910, the
period when the fate Of France was
virtually settled He maintains that
there is no possibility of coming to
terms with the Nazi empire, which
means that the United States will
not recognize the new European
order of Nazi creation.
Very soon Admiral Leahy will
translate into diplomatic language
the main themes of President Roose-
welt. No greater stimulant could be
applied to the French people. All
heads will rise higher in occupied
and in unoccupied France, and at q
decisive moment.
New Phase Opened.
The dismissal of Pierre Laval by
Marshal Henri Philippe Petain on
December IA has opened a new phase
in Franco-German relations. Last
October Adolf Hitler built his mill
tary and political plans on the as
sumption that, for all essentials, the
active cooperation of France would
be enlisted in the war against Great |
Britain. He was ready to pay for it
what M. Laval himself regarded as a
handsome price-no annexation Of
French territory except Alsace, Lor-
raine and the two small areas now
under Italian occupation, Mention
and Lans lie Bourg.
Of course, Franco-Italian and
Franco German condominiums
which were to be set up in Tunis, in
Algiers and Morocco were to be
screens merely intended to conceal
the stark reality-German overlord-
ship. But, after all, that overload
ship harmonized more or less with
the conceptions NJ. Laval had always
entertained in the past, and the
major point for him was that ap-
pearances be saved.
Marshal Petain went very far
toward accepting the bargain. as
testified by his public statement of
October TO- A fortnight later. on
the interference of Gen. Maxine
Weygand, he took step backward
when he met the Fuehrer at Mon
toire and afterward he regressed
still further, the summary election
of M. Laval being the last develop
rent to date. German reaction has

a piece of tactics which the Ger
mans may find it worth while to re-
sort to-. The old marshal is bound to
turn down the request. Thus. as the
outcome of his refusal, the armistice
would be thrown into the melting
pot. Germany and Italy would be
as free as they were last June to
deal with France at their own pleas
ure.
The Vichy government, whatever
it may strive to do, is under the
German heel. If its will to resist is
unshakeable, the alternative lies for
it between going to North Africa, a
course of action against which it
set its face from the outset, and
disappearing altogether.
Meanwhile, the sort of policy Gus
taVe StreSemann tfOrmer German
ChancelloD once described by the
word "finaSSiren" tfneSSe) may be
carried out, but the most it can
yield is brief respite. In such a
tight corner, confronted with such
a distressing dilemma. the Vichy
government can only be bolstered
up and prevented from Surrendering

ruinous upkeep Of the army of oc-
cupation, the following point, too
often overlooked, deserves to be
stressed.
May Ask DemObilizatiOn.
According to Article 8 in the
armistice convention with Italy, it
is open to the Fascist government
to ask at any hour for the French
troops in North Africa to be de
modified and diSarmed." 1t is said
in the same article that the italian
commission of armistice will pay
heed TO the necessity of upholding
public order and, owing to the fear
inspired by the undertakings of the
British and of the free French
men," such large use has been made
of that reserve that practically the
whole garrison in French Africa is
being retained to this day as an
active force.
But let us suppose that tomorrow
Marshal Petain be pressed to in
struct Gen. Weygand to diSband the
units under his command "a risky
game, since Great Britain would
find there a great opportunity but

Swiss Unable 10 Produce
Enough Electric Power

Although production Of electric
current in Switzerland has nnors
than tripled in the last 25 years. the
present combined capacity Of poysr
stations is not adequate to make IN
for the shortage of coal and fuel for
heating purposes. To conserve ma
tional fuel resources the govern.
ment recently established stringart
regulations.
The use Of electricity in SV1y,
households IS now practically uni.
yersal it is stated in Zurich, and ia
employment for industrial purposes
has been expanding steadily. At
the time of the World War the
country had only one hydro-eIectr.c
plant of importance. BY the end Of
1889 it's plants developed 100000
horsepower, and the combined out.
put of Swiss hydro-electric plant,
amounted to more than seven bi.-
lion kiloWatt hours annually.

come and is still on. How will he
withstand it?
The armistice and nothing but
the armistice except possibly eco
nomic cooperation" On that line
the Vichy government tries to settle
down. 1t is explained, on its behalf,
that honor forbids France even in
directly having a hand in the
struggle against her former ally. Up
till now, the Germans have been
careful to move in the secrecy of
the council room. But the advice
M. Laval gives them is easily per-
ceived, Let them stew in their own
juice. In the long run they will
have to come around, as they will
not be able to bear the crushing
burden of the armistice conventions
they only signed, last June, in the
belief that war would shortly be
ended"
That reasoning is to be taken Sc
riouSly. Let alone the division of
French territory in two parts,
challenge to anything like efficient
management; let alone the 100000
prisoners, the scarcity of food, the
