PLAN TO MOBOLIZE
‘STATE’S MATERIAL
IN WAR EMERGENCY
\vlr nd rL! he . preßent organization of the
y ar .Department the Assistant Secre
tary is specially-charged with the duty
of planning in advance for rapid, eco
nomical procurement and supply of the
material necessary for the exertion of
miyor national effort in the event of
World War experience showed mat
unpreparedness in military organization,
while a serious defect in national de
fense, was greatly minimized by the
adaptability of the American to military
training. *
Unpreparedness in the matter of mu
mtious, equipment, supply and raw ma
terials was for more dangerous, and was
met only by intense effort hastily exert
ed Jn the presence of the emergency,
with a consequent large volume of
waste and popular loss and inconvenience
as the result. Had it not been for the
circumstance that the seas were in con
trol of the Allies and the enemy thus
held at arms length during the period
of frantic provision of things in connec
tion with which there should have been
a reserve as a nucleus and a definite
system of procurement, the result might
have been highly dangerous.
ruder the system now materially ad
vanced in tlie course to perfection, plans
. be made for instant application in
crisis to an industrial mobilization even
more rapid and complete than that of
persounei. Kvery manufacturing plant
will be available not only for the produc
tion of essentials, but what it can pro
ducc. how soon, and in what quantity
will be definitely known. Centers of
production, distribution, industrial and
military management and supervision,
under such a system will be elaborate
but readily aeeompfislied incidents to
preparedness as the World War served
to define the term.
Strategic and Critical Material.
Os more concern nre those war ma
terials which, in the verbiage of the
I loeurement Bureau, are 'designated as
‘strategic’ and “critical,” i. e., in the
one case materials, a supply of which
must be imported : and, in the other ma
terials produced in this country, but on
ly in limited amount.
Lacking adequate reserve of these ma-
terials, war effort might be seriously im
paired, either by interference ou the
; seas Air control of the producing coun
j tries by enemy powers, or in any event
| serious embarrassment by the dijeulties
• incident to important during hostilities
| and when the burden of war duty would
|be laid upon all shipping. In anticipa
tion of the war oflFort. a detailed
.survey of what America might do under
the necessity in the case of these strate
gic and critical materials is of the high
est importance.
i During the course of a two weeks de
tail at flit; War Department in confer
ence upon procurement plans, the Direct
jor of the Survey was impressed with
Hie possibilities of reducing the number
lof strategic materials by more exteuded
j investigation as to the occurrence and
j possibility of production of a number of
them ill the United States. Among
! these possibilities North Carolina, with
; its astonishingly high variety of resoure
■ cs, takes important rank. For instance:
| North Carolina Possibilities.
, MICA. A small amount of a particu
lar grade of mica is called for in certain
I electrical apparatus, but at the present
| time manufacturers consider that India
mica alone will-meet the test. The first
j question is whether it is the quality of
I the India 'mica or the greater ease with
| which it may be prepared for use in
• electrical contrivances that dictates its
j employment. In the latter case, there
should be small difficulty i n adapting mi
ca from known deposits in the United
! States, particularly North Carolina. In
the first case, if India mica does possess
a peculiar and distinctive physical qual
ity, if thorough investigation should be
made of all mica producing localities
to determine with positiveness whether
mica of the India quality may not be
found.
CHROMITE. All chromite is at the
present time imported, but there are in
the United States chromium ores in some
quantity, ns well as large occurrences of
I basic magnesian rocks, with which it is
associated. In North Carolina there are
large masses of these basic rocks, in sev
cral of which chromite is known to oc
cur in greater or less quantity, and this
probably is true in other states.
NICKEL. Although very little nickel
is produced in the United States, nickel
• silicate, one of the ores of nickel, are
found largely in basic magnesian rocks.
An attempt was made to produce nickel
from these rocks near Webster, Jack
son Sounty, but it was not a financial
success and probably could not be made
so in peace* time; but it should be defi
nitely determined whether or not such
ores could he produced and concentrated
so as to become a source of nickel at a
cost that would be approved in time of
war.
TIN. There has been very little sys
tematic investigation of the deposits of
tin ores to determine their quantity, cost
of mining and reduction, when consider
ed as a war measui-e. Tin deposits in
Lincoln County, North Carolina, are as
sociated with a good grade of kaolin,
which it is believed could be mined prof
itably and the nit minerals saved as a
by-product.
SODIUM-NITRATE. A supply of ni
trates would have to be obtained by fix
ation plants and from by-product coke
ovens and gas works. In tile recently
developed Deep River Coal Field the
bituminous coal contains over two per
cent, of nitrogen, and treatment of this
coal in by-product coke ovens would
give a considerable amount of nitrates.
FLAX SEED. Although lirikeed oil
is imported, in large amounts, it' is be
lieved that a sufficient quantity of flax
can be raised to supply the quantity of
raw material needed for its manufacture.
The Southern Appalachian region, it is
thought, offers many favorable localities
for flux raising. In addition to its use
for linseed oil, flax growing should be
encouraged as the foundation of a linen
industry.
Among other strategic raw materials
are platinum, produced in the United
States in small amount only, but having
its source, in association with chromite,
in the basic magnesian rock, abundant in
North Carolina, and found in places in
Oregon and California, a reserve stock
of which might be accumulated by en
couraging its use in Jewelry and in lab
oratories, or by its being treated by the
Treasury as a substitute for part of the
gold reserve; antimony, now almost en
tirely imported, but samples of which are
received from time to time by Federal
and State surveys; manganese, ill suffi
cient quantity, although many of the de
posits ure of low grade ore: potassium
salts, in large domestic supply, but not
yet thoroughly investigated us to extent,
quality aud facilities for milling and
transportation; cork, rubber, camphor, co
coanuts. quinine, tree-products, all of
which are well worth investigating on
the hypothesis of successful growth in
Florida, Texas, the Canal Zone and
Porto Rico; silk may possibly.be pro
duced in tlie raw state, and in time of
war silk goods in tlie country could be
utilized as a reserve; sugar, the sugar
beet industry should be more generally
encouraged; shellac, apparently, has but
one sonree of supply and its production
synthetically is u chemical problem.
Another preparedness v problem in
which North Carolina is peculiarly in
terested is that of highways, from the
point of view of Federal construction,
either entirely' or in co-operation with,
the states, of interconnected, hurd sur
face, interstate highways, their adapta
tion to motor transport, and an automo
bile and truck census kept up from yeur
to year by laisson with State depart
ments ; preparedness also. contemplates
complete utups of electric power lines,
showing locution and voltage, and of all
switchboards with connecting lines, aud
the encouragement, of more general in
terconnecting lines.

Farmer-Labor Senator from Minnesota,
made the, following, sMteUpnt: /’Sixtjf'
