The Scholarships Offered Students Fund
was born Of a strong conviction; the belief
that our free society can endure only
through the triumph Of the free mind.
Confronting us Is a society dedicated to
the destruction of the free mind; the soci.
ely of revolutionary Communism. Almost
half the worlds people have been locked
in its rigid mold.
Now that millions Of people are being
indOctrinaied with the Communist philOsO-
ply, and pose such a1terrifying threat to
our own way of life, il is up to each of us
to actively defend our own cause. The
world rings with the militant slogans Of
the Communist Manifesto. But our own
manifestOs - the Magma Carta, the Bill Of
Rights, the Declaration of Independence
- cannot have meaning,tO future genera.
tons of Americans unless we instill these
ideals in iOday's younger citizens.
OF the weapons Of Communism, prob
ably the most dangerous are the minds Of
its students. For Communism has unceas-
ingly conditioned those minds to its mar.
rOw-minded philosophy Of domination
and control. From the ranks Of these stu.
dents will come the prOpagandisis, mill.
tary leaders, scientists and cOnspiratOrs
who will jeOpardize the liberty Of our
children.
Thus in a large and tragic sense -
the silent death struggle in which we are
engaged is a struggle Of minds. We cannot
ignore this fact and survive! But il is not
enough simply TO realize this. We must acl
upon ii'with .swiftness and determination.
OF course we must produce more scien.
lists, more maihemalicians, more engi.
neers. But most Of all, we must produce
leaders in every field Of endeavor: men
and women of knowledge and sound judg.
menI, filled with the love Of freedom, the
desire to strengthen il, and the ability to
preserve ii.
If we fail, we fail the noblest aspirations
of man.
The Scholarships Offered Students Fund
has been formed so that the millions of
people with faith in freedom may make q
positive, tangible contribution to this
cause!

The more this man thought, the more he
realized there should be such a fund. He
talked to average citizens in other communi-
ties. They, too, were concerned over the
lowering of our educational standards, the
tragic lack of opportunity for so many boys
and girls. Wherever he asked, people were
genuinely worried over the current crisis
in education, and the implicit danger to our
country's very survival. They, too, wanted
to help. But Where, and hOrV?
Thus the SOS. Fund was created.
Hundreds Of radio stations and newspa.
pers were invited to give free time and
space to publicizing this unusual, new non.
profit fund. They have responded to the
SOS. appeal gladly and generously, with
round.the o'clock announcements on the

some Of the country's leading educators,
based on these things as well as academic
records and the extent of the students par.
ticipation in the community's activities. The
amount of aid is based on the students
need. Last year over 100000 high school
seniors were tested by N.M.S.C. Around
5000 of these were found worthy Of aid, but
there were enough funds to support only

the SOS. Fund equally.

WILLIAMS REELECTED; DEMOCRATS

Delaware reelected John J. Williams to
the United States Senate, and Jan Bove
soundly trounced his Democratic opponent for
Attorney General at Tuesdays elections. The
Auditor of Accounts, the State Treasurer
and the Insurance Commissioner were elected
by the Democrats. Harris Mcdowell, Demo-
crat, defeated Hal Haskell for Congress.
Cal Boggs will continue to rule over the office
of Governor. So far as Delaware is concern

of the ripper legislation of two years ago,
went Democratic, but not by as large a ma

SCHOLARSHIP LETTERS
The news that high school in California
: intends to give letters for scholastic achieve
ment as well as athletic prowess has occa-
stoned good deal of comment intended to be
humorous The situation does have its hui
morour potential Yet when the jokes have
been chortled over, the fact remains that
the experiment is close 90 Ghe heart of what
is wrong in many American high schools.
The common over-emphasis on competi-
tive sports has been noted too often to war
rant more than passing mention here. The
situation can be improved-and has been
improved in some high schools-by reducing
this emphasis on inter-school athletic rival
ries. This is all to the good, but it is not
enough. In most high schools, there is need
for a greater positive emphasis on scolarship,
on the joys and solid values of learning.
Awards for intellectal accomplishment are
one way of bringing about this positive en-
phasis. No one doubts that there is great
prestige value, among the student body, in
winning a school letter. A boy who wins such
letter for intellectual ability and scholastic
diligence might thus gain at least a part of
the prestige that would come to him for deeds
of valor on the gridiron.
School letters as awards for scholastic a
bility are beginning. Other ways of show
ing such recognition, and of improving the
+ intellectual climate in high schools, suggest
themselves. Educators would do we'll to think
sabout various means of getting across the
idea that learning is at least as important
as making touchdowns or dropping ball into
a basket.

Cape Town, South Africa, Nov.
6. Let me first discuss the copper
industry of Africa, which is now
it's most stable activity. The world
copper industry is currently in the
doldrums. This fact, plus the red
hetaIs economic Importance to
the United States, impels me to
make study of the situation. Here
are the highlights.
Production Picture
The U. S. has long been the
worlds leading copper producer,
although it's percentage of the world
total has declined in recent years.
The production pattern, however,
has been quite irregular. Output
topped 100000 tons for the first
time in 1929. The depression low of
225, ,000 tons was set in 1923. A rec
ord high of 1,117,580 tons was turn
ed out in 1856; last years total was
1881, 900 tons.
World smelter production, over
long period, has trended fairly
steadily upward, and at a rapid
pace in recent years-from 3,O76, ,73O
tons in 1850 to 4,111,934 tons in
1856. Africa is the free worlds
second-largest producer, with the
bulk of output concentrated in Rho
desia and the Belgian Congo. have
great faith in the African pro-
ducers. Africa is a vast storehouse
of raw materials that will be in
valuable in the economic war we
are engaged in with Russia. Chile
ranks third in copper production:
Canada fourth.

BABSON DISCUSSES The COPPER SITUATION

was more than self-suff1cient in
copper. World War II changed that
situation. looming consumption,
which hit a high of 1,641 $50 tons
in 1941, necessitated heavy imports
to fill the deficit arising from war
time demand. Our U. S. copper
needs have held at high levels in
most of the post war years, re-
flecting pent-up consumer demand
for goods of all kinds, outbreak of
the Korean War in June 1850, and
a high level of industrial activity.
The red metal was in stringent sup
ply practically from the beginning
of World War II until early 1856
Since then, U. S. supplies from
domestic, African and other for
eign sources have exceeded require
ments
The current copper surplus re-
fleets the recent rapid expansion
in world production of the metal
and the decline in business and in
dustrial activity, particularly in the
United States. l see little at the
moment pointing to major recOv-
cry in U. S. copper demand unless
a naval war develops with China
over the Formosa situation. am
.bullish, however, about the longer
term prospects. World Industrial
ization seems destined to expand
at an accelera ting pace in the years
ahead Copper needs abroad will
follow suit AS l look into the
future. am more concerned about
too little copper than too much.
Much more could be mined here in
Africa. The following three African
coppers are listed on the New York
Stock Exchange: American Metal

however, now prefer our own
Phelps Dodge.
A Glance At Prices
Copper, like many world COM
modities, is extremely sensitive
pricewise. A depression low of sc a
pound for electrolytic copper at
New York was made in 1888. In
February, 1856, the metal hit a 90
year high of 46c pound. The aver
age yearly price in 1854 was 29.S2c;
in 1855, 37.39c; in 1856, 41.S7c; and
in 1857, 2999c. The recent U. S.
price of 29c would seem to discount
the bearish factors; especially since
the value of the dollar has been
more than halved since 1939
Although I do not expect copper
prices to go soaring soon, l do
look for them to strengthen fur
ther as the supply-demand i'm
balance undergoes additional cor
rection. This may take little more
time. The recent upping of the u.
S. import duty will act as a bull
wark, and resumption of govern
ment stockpiling cannot be entirely
ruled out. OF one. thing l am GER
TAIN. Over the next decade or so,
copper prices will be considerably
higher than they are today and
Africa will be gamer. Threats of
war should help all copper stocks;
but the African mines would be
handicapped by the costs of long
and dangerous freight transport
