BRUSSELS, Belgium, Sept. g.
Down deep in the heart Of the
African Congo, vast deposits OF
strategic ores will soon be on their
way to feed the Vests war mobil-
ization and its aims for future
world peace.
Within one year the jungle
Ifastness of the Katanga area
alone will be yielding 100000 tons
of refined copper. 1000 tons OF
cobalt and large but as yet un-
revealed amounts of zinc. tin,
manganese and uranium. The list
also includes radium, gold. palm
Oil and silver.
West Europe and the United
States already receive some of
these materials. For example,
most of the uranium used by
Uncle Sam now comes from the
Congo.
/ But the Belgian mining industry
will shortly move into high gear
Workers to Be Flown In.
Credit for sparkling this new
speedup goes to some officials of
the Marshall Plan. They arranged
a loan of $15.5 million, negotiated
through the Export Import Bank
and surveyed by the international
Bank. Cts a real loan, with a
25-year term at 3.25 per cent and
first payment due in 1860
The whole job gets under way
in a complete wilderness Of thou
sands of square milestone OF

Congo. All workers will have to
be flown in.
First move by the Belgian Min
ling Union of Upper Katanga is
the construction of another n.y.
droelectric power plant on a river
with the jungle-drum name of
Lualaba, This plant will increase
the power flow into KolWezi, CEN

kiloWatt hours per year.
The new power will permit a
meager force of 800 natives, SUI

concentrate copper by floating

600 tons a year. Here and at ia
dotville and Elizabethville, Be-
gian private investors are lining
up with the Marshall plan by put
ting SO million into new buildings
and machinery. Zinc, uranium
and cobalt are getting the same
treatment.
Railways to Be Expanded.
Next move is to find a way to
get the stuff out of the jungle.
This means expansion of the
Congo railway system which now
starts at the Katango minefields
and winds it's way a lonely 1900
miles through Western Congo,
Matadi and Portuguese Angola to
the seaport of Lobito: and also
connects up with the railways of
Rhodesia.
BY next June this railway will
be carrying more than 5 million
tons of freight.
