IMPORTATION OF METALS THREAT TOU.S. MINING Diminishing the mineral resources in United States was the principal discussion at an convention of the of Mining Engineers in New York City, held according Carpenter, School of of Nevada, ed the meeting. Two of the principal addresses dealt with the need to conserve: rapidly dwindling ore supplies in this country by large importation of some metals immediately from _ foreign countries with others to be importrecently to Prodirector of the Mackay Mines at University the who attended in quantities in the near future, Carpenter said. ; Although it is undoubtedly true that ore reserves of many companies have been depleted by heavy production and lack of labor with which to continue develoument work necessary tO open up new ore bodies, Carpenter states that, in his opinion, it is not conceivable that three’ or even five years of extra heavy production would deplete the metal mines of this country. ; However, if the idea of conserving by importation of foreign metals is not opposed, there is danger that the free traders, ‘‘good will to neighbors’’ advocates, and large manufacturers who wish cheap metal suvplies may prevail upom the national legislature not to restore prewar tariffs so necessary for the continued operation of copper and zine mines such ag those located in Nevada in the Bly and Pioche districts, Carpenter believes. “The senators from the mining states are in the minority, while in the house of representatives there is an even smaller number to fight for the legislative measures vital to the states which depend on mines and mining industries for their chief sources of employment and revenue’”’ Carpenter contniued. In Washington, Carpenter interviewed several ranking OPA and WLB officials concerning the supply and price of metals andconveyed to them the point of view of the Nevada producers. Nevada’s senators, and James Scrugham, regarded as senatorial Pat McCarran are generally leaders on questions involving mining problems, Carpenter noted during. ‘his stay in Washington. “Much of the future of mining in Nevada, as well as other western states similarly organized around mining industry, will depend on the work and success of these two men in molding mining legislation he concluded.

SANE ATTITUDE SOUGHT IN RACE DIFFERENCES By LEONE BAXTER 7 The age long fight to pillory raefal, religious and other minority groups is a ‘cruelly surging battle that will not end, unfortunately, when the war ends. But in the coming years it conceivably may taper into its first real decline since men learned bigotry and intolerance. Some minorities earnestly seeking to develop better understanding and happier relations between themselves and the world are convinced the sole perpetrators of intolerance are the ‘thate mongers’’ who preach dissension with flaming animosity and fanaticism. The public, in the interests of tolerance and unity, is implored to cooperate by sealing iis ears against their vicious exhortations to give them neither nor attention. credence Now both within and without the long suffering minority circles there are those who have juggled mental-. ly with that reasoning for’ years who see the cruel fires of intolerance. still burning briskly, and who begin} to insist that a one-sided program education isn’t quite enough. Tolerance, by some. slim} chance, might eventually be won by such means; but never true under-. standing, rhonest approval. or real] friendship. 4 The inferno of bigotry, casting its wounding sparks everywhere today, offers fundamental proof that something further must be done — and unless the practical planning of a fewvearnest Men comes to naught. that inferno may burn itself to @old, ashes in the years ahead, In some groups there is a new disposition toward honest diagnosis of their own problems and of bold and unem'/barrassed alction to meet them. Some Negro leaders are advocating a down to earth program among their own people, to acquire real friends and allies, to build themselves.a place of their own in the country they call home. traits, The -correctible habits and conduct that tend to offend the majority around them whose good will they seek, are being pointed out by their own leaders, and means of meeting generally accepted seandards are frankly sought. Ambition has to be groomed, belligerence harnessed, habits of cleanliness and fair play developed even beyond that of whites. Joe Lotis, Paul Robéson and Charlotte Moton will urge their own people to work toward the day when Negroes may ask, not for sufferance but for ac‘ceptanice on a basis of esteem. No nationality, group or sect has a corner on objectionable characteristics, certainly. They are pretty well distributed. But among certain unhappy minorities a few thoughtful leaders are reappraising their qualifications in the world scene, praying for courage to correct any fault or fissures their survey may disclose. All men of honor may hope such ac‘. ion will help to hike minority stock to a point on the chart of world esteém where the fiendish flames of intolerance can’t reach, however the hate mongers search for tinder. Union Terminal Sought For San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO, March 15—A centrally located union terminal, for the convenience and necessity of travelers ‘arriving in and departing from San. Francisco, has been demanded by the central ouncil of civic clubs, the apartment house industry and the owners and lassees apartment house assocition. The three civic groups have asked the board of supervisors to take action to compel railroads and bus operators to select a site and build such a terminal as an immediate post The council has been trying for four years to secure coluntary cooperation from the carriers but. since no action has resulted, it Says it will now resort to legal means if required. The San Francisco News pointed out that it appears quite simple to establish a suitable terminal where trains from the east bay and _ the peninsula and buses from the east, north and south could deposit and pick up passengers. “. checked, TENDENCY IN WAR TIME IS TO CLIP LIBERTYBy RALPH iH. ‘TAYLOR ‘ditor’s 'Note: This is the first in a series jof two articles by Ralph H. Taylor, farm cooperative leader.and veteran legislative observer, dealinz with proposals before the state legislature to create new commissions, bureaus and departments—and with scores of measures designed: to regulate and restrict ithe individual and nearly every form of business activity. War, with its rigid regimentation, {ts temporary infringements of individual liberty (which often threaten to become permanent), and with its prodigal expenditure of all human and natural resources, almost always results in a rash of legislation in keeping with the times.

According to official ‘information received by Mrs. Curran, of 1416, Wells Street, Reno, her husband was seriously injured on February 17, while serving with General Patton’s Third Army, somewhere in Germany. Two days after receiving the official report from the army, Mrs. Curran received a leter from Curran which had been written in a hospital somewhere behind the front lines in which he. stated.he.had stopped a piece of German. lead with his side and although the injury was of a serious nature he was going along nicely and seemed to be in the best of spirits. : In -a.letter received by Ranger war psychology—for legislative cesses linger on long after the is ended, and in all too many cases . never are eliminaeed, once they have . . taken root. eXwar .

A measure to create a state delinquency coordinating council. ,This bill appropriates $50,000 to compile a directory of federal and state programs for delinquency control—a job the state library could do with little or no expense, if asked.

SANE ATTITUDE SOUGHT IN RACE DIFFERENCES By LEONE BAXTER 7 The age long fight to pillory raefal, religious and other minority groups is a ‘cruelly surging battle that will not end, unfortunately, when the war ends. But in the coming years it conceivably may taper into its first real decline since men learned bigotry and intolerance. Some minorities earnestly seeking to develop better understanding and happier relations between themselves and the world are convinced the sole perpetrators of intolerance are the ‘thate mongers’’ who preach dissension with flaming animosity and fanaticism. The public, in the interests of tolerance and unity, is implored to cooperate by sealing iis ears against their vicious exhortations to give them neither nor attention. credence Now both within and without the long suffering minority circles there are those who have juggled mental-. ly with that reasoning for’ years who see the cruel fires of intolerance. still burning briskly, and who begin} to insist that a one-sided program education isn’t quite enough. Tolerance, by some. slim} chance, might eventually be won by such means; but never true under-. standing, rhonest approval. or real] friendship. 4 The inferno of bigotry, casting its wounding sparks everywhere today, offers fundamental proof that something further must be done — and unless the practical planning of a fewvearnest Men comes to naught. that inferno may burn itself to @old, ashes in the years ahead, In some groups there is a new disposition toward honest diagnosis of their own problems and of bold and unem'/barrassed alction to meet them. Some Negro leaders are advocating a down to earth program among their own people, to acquire real friends and allies, to build themselves.a place of their own in the country they call home. traits, The -correctible habits and conduct that tend to offend the majority around them whose good will they seek, are being pointed out by their own leaders, and means of meeting generally accepted seandards are frankly sought. Ambition has to be groomed, belligerence harnessed, habits of cleanliness and fair play developed even beyond that of whites. Joe Lotis, Paul Robéson and Charlotte Moton will urge their own people to work toward the day when Negroes may ask, not for sufferance but for ac‘ceptanice on a basis of esteem. No nationality, group or sect has a corner on objectionable characteristics, certainly. They are pretty well distributed. But among certain unhappy minorities a few thoughtful leaders are reappraising their qualifications in the world scene, praying for courage to correct any fault or fissures their survey may disclose. All men of honor may hope such ac‘. ion will help to hike minority stock to a point on the chart of world esteém where the fiendish flames of intolerance can’t reach, however the hate mongers search for tinder.
