she heard it:

1t is curious how many of the necessary
but scarce metals upon which the steel indus
try is based exist in the Philippine Islands
have frequently referred to the Philippines as
the most important possession OF the United
States but at the same time, the least
esteemed. The japanese have never made this
mistake. and will not now, of Understanding
the Philippines as a source Of supply and
power.
ANOTHER element is tungsten, essential for
4 the production of high-speed tool steels.
1t has hardness that endures high tempera-
ture up TO the point Of red heat. China is the
great contributor of this metal furnishing
more than a third of the worlds supply.
The most important mines lie in the
Province of Kiangsi, an area now occupied by
Japanese armies, and less than 200 miles from
Canton.
Tin, while not of vital use in the produc-
ton of arms and munitions is a very valued
metal for containers of food and other sup
plies issued to troops, as we'll as for civilian
use.
Almost the entire former supply Of tin
certainly two-thirds-came from the Malay
Archipelago and two small Dutch islands just
south of Singapore, Banka and Billion. They
are entirely in japanese possession.
PROM the same region, now held by Japan,
came almost the entire stock of commercial
rubber, and we are all familiar with the diff
culties occasioned by its loss.
This enumeration by no means exhausts
the Far Eastern resources contributory to the
production of war materials which, by con-
quest, the Japanese military organization has
gained.
Finally, there is no doubt of the compe-
tence of Japanese engineers and technicians
to handle all these resources with ability and
success. The labor power both Japanese and
Of other Asiatic types is abundant.
Already they have been allowed year in
which to reorganize, recondition and develop
these resources. II Japan is allowed several
years time to carry this exploitation to COM
pletion, there may be amassed at her disposal
an economic strength superior to that of any
nation in the world.
Not even Russia, with the amazing mineral
wealth of Siberia, may have the essential
quantities Of these rare and curiously dis
tributed elements in as available a position
as will Japan.

IL ADDITION 20 population, trained man
power. the martial spirit, knowledge Of war,
the resources available 10 a country give II
promise Of defeat or victory. AS we have seen,
these resources are food, fuel and iron.
But Tor MODERN manufacturing, and par
ticularly the manufacture Of arms and NUM-
tons, there are essential certain other prod
ucts of the earth which are called the strategic
metals and ore.
There are about dozen of these, including
The ferrous alloys which are regarded as in
dispensabIe.
They are all now at Japans disposal, ex-
cept one. and that is nickel. The island Of
New Caledonia, French colony, is one Of the
great sources of nickel. But this island is in
our possession. however much it may be
coveted by the Japanese military engineers.
HOWEVER. Japan built up a great backlog
of this metal before she resorted to war.
We know that in 1910, her ships carried away
from New Caledonia about a quarter of the
total production. In 1911, when limitations
were imposed, there were still $4,000 tons Of
nickel allocated to Japan She may have
secured this, also, before her traffic was
interrupted.
Nickel is an essential metal for armor
plate, FOR gun torglngs, Tor recoil mechanisms.
There is also, a small. but increasing supply
of nickel obtainable from Burma, which Japan
will not overlook.
As to the other fundamental strategic
minerals the first in Importance for the manu-
facture of steel is manganese. The great
sources of supply are Russia, India, the Gold
Coast, Brazil South Africa and Egypt.
But manganese exists in the Philippines
and in other parts of MALAYSIA. In the Philip
pines. cost of its extraction did not favor its
production until recently, but it is there
The ore was tested and its extraction COM
menced in time to be ready for the enemys
use and Japan will develop it in proportion to
the time allowed to her.
A MOTHER fundamental ferrous alloy is
chromium. 1t gives strength toughness.
hardness TO steel. 1t is used for armor-plate
for armor-piercing projecties.
The greatest source in the world is South
ern Rhodesia. But again the curious fact de-
velops that the Philippines are an important
source of this rare mineral It's development
hardly began until six years ago but, by 1910.
Philippine production reached over 100000
tons.
