HOARDED SILVER

Out of Washington comes "0'0
thot we are risking power snor'o9eS'
which would slow down war ProduCuo'|
becouse we con not spare copper from
munitions for use in electricity instoI'0-
TONS ,,
The power shortages are ProO'en-
oticoI They lie somewhere in the tu-
+,,re We may get by without increased
nower facilities. But we can not ger OY
without shells for our soldiers and those
of our allies. 80
Under such circumstances teW viii
question the War Production Boord S
4 ecision TO take the shells now ana
WORRY about electricity later, if we have
to.
But what burns up the WPB, ana
most others who know the facts, IS THIS
There is no need to risk having 70
shut down vital war plants for lack or
power. We could have munitions ana
also plenty of electricity, if we put on
the pressure. 80
The Treasury now possesses wv
600 tons of silver. There is being pro-
duced in the United States 2OOO tons
Of silver each yeor. This could be used
to assure the electricity we may need
badly before long.
Silver is one Of three metals PortIc-
ulorIy suitable for use as q conductor or
electricity. One is eoPPer-which is SO
scarce we can not spare it from direct
war motereI. One is aluminium -
which is SO necessary for planes that we
have used vital steel to build plants to
multiply our aluminium output.
The third is silver, Of which no.
900 tons lie idle in Treasury vaults and
1000 more tons are added annually.
Some idle silver has been released
to replace copper in electric power BUS
bars and transformers. Donald Nelson
is trying to obtain another 81 900 tons,
on condition that after the war it shall
be returned to Treasury vaults.
Why must we go through oil this
rianoroIe in order to persuade the
Treasury to permit the use Of silver to
help win the war? Because that's the
Iow
On the open market silver is worth
IS cents q troy ounce. The Treasury is
required, however, to take oil that is
offered from domestic mines at u
cents an ounce, regardless Of the mar
ket, or . to S. 20 if, by some miracle,
the market price we're to exceed !!
cents. Naturally domestic silver goes
to the Treasury, not to industry.
The Treasury is forbidden TO sell
silver, for any purpose, for less than
81 70 for each troy ounce.
So, willy niIIy, while we risk the dis
ester q real power shortage might
bring, the Treasury hoords enough Sill
yer to relieve the danger. Nothing can
be done unless Congress is willing to
override the silver bIoc's bitter-end oP-
position.
That, briefly, is the tragedy Of sill
yer.

PSI IN PICKLE

If the Plant Site Board had
its Job to do over again, q lot
Of the war prediction factories
probably wouldn't be located
where they ore, because no one
toresow the rubber shortage
ond the resulting problem Of
transporting workers from
home to job and back again.
Ford's huge Willow Run
bomber plant outside Detroit
is the best case in point. All
brains ogreed the working
force would get itself back and
forth in private automobiles,
using O beautiful 4-Ione high
way to YpsiIonti But along
comes the rubber crisis, and
look what happens:
The Michigan Central roll
road, which runs right post the
plant can't carry workers be-
cause its too busy carrying war
freight.
The Federal Public Housing
Authority has TO rush plans for
y new projects, near the
plant, 10 shelter some 10000
families who will have to move
closer TO the Job because by
next year there simply won't
be any way to get them to
work except on foot or by
short haul busIine.
One emergency bus system
between Willow Run and De-
troit hos been running its
buses half empty because
workmen don't want to ride q
bus to work os long as there is
on ounce Of eos in the tank,
on ounce Of rubber on the rims.
What this indicates, if any,
thing, is thot the only way TO
solve the rubber problem is to
take the tires owoy from every
one and make people find other
transportation.
