I 1 -t ill -J , i Miners who wrest necessary metals from Mother Earth. 1 , Without them the war effort would collapse. i The miners who mine the metals ; are just as much a part of the war ; effort as the men who operate the I i machines and shoot the bullets. I i Without the unarmed underground i soldiers, the armed soldiers would be helpless against the enemy in i warfare. So, patriotism begins un- derground where the vital sinues of . warfare are wrested from Mother t Earth. ; I Within the Allied nations nature ' endowed Mother Earth with an i I abundance of raw materials. In , J fact the Allied nations control the , j greatest supply of natural resources ' in the world and the Axis nations ; are striving to wrest these from them. These natural resources there fore will be a determining factor , in the winning of the war. If the United Nation use them so as t adequately supply their soldiers at the fronts, there is little chance of the Axis capturing such resources. The United Nations have the manpower man-power to wage unlimited warfare, but until recently there has been a tendency to neglect the development develop-ment of some of our resources. During the first half year production produc-tion of lead and zinc in Utah declined de-clined 15 per cent, and the production produc-tion of the copper was not sufficient suffi-cient to meet the war needs. A number of quick adjustments are now being made with a view of remedying this situation. Mine workers who have been taken into the armed forces are being given furloughs to return to the mines. Decisions on waga adjustments and metal prices are also in the offing. |
