Synopsis

Excerpt from The Strategy of Minerals: A Study of the Mineral Factor in the World Position of America in War and in Peace

Commercial geology will furnish an important chapter in the story of industrial development that will write itself in the decades immediately following the Great War. The essential réle that minerals played in the great struggle between autocracy and democracy and the part they now will have in the reconstruction of the world furnish the subjects for discussion here presented by a group of geologists in the Government service. In their efiort to make the Nation's minerals count their utmost in the war crisis, these specialists have learned to see with broader ion the use that may be made of these natural resources. It is now necessary to plan the larger reorganization of industry for the years of peace that are to follow. In this strategy of a nation full use of our mineral resources is demanded, as well as the best use of our man power.

The inevitableness of industrial and commercial re construction, world-wide in scope, was declared publicly by the Secretary of the Interior five years ago at the outbreak of the Great War, and now at its close it is appropriate that in another foreword Secretary Lane should set forth the national purpose that must inspire America's use of her resources of men and material.
