Under the methods at present employed in the different coun- tries in estimating the geological reserves or so-called inventories of mineral deposits, the technical possibilities of extraction and commercial exploitability of which vary greatly from time to time and from place to. place, comparison is not possible and these de- posits cannot therefore be included in a common total without leading to erroneous conceptions. A further defect of all economic statements up to the present date is the exclusive emphasis which is placed upon production and the far-reaching neglect of the question of consumption, ot requirements, the various possibilities of supplying them, and the market and price conditions to which they direcıly give rise. There is as yet absolutely no method of indicating requirements; in the absence of definite conceptions, words are used, but these pass as mere worn-out and effaced currency; stock expressions are adopted in discussion but with different meaning, so that an understanding is never reached. The first task of intellectual co-operation between the nations, for the purposes of economic understanding in general, must be to define and extend the fundamental scope of the economy of in- organic raw materials in its whole system. I would suggest, as a working hypothesis, that the question of the founding of an inter- national Mining Institute should be considered and that the scheme should be thoroughly worked out. The International Agricultural Institute at Rome offers a sub- ject for comparison, although the conditions were far simpler and more obvious for agriculture than is at present the case for mining. The successful results obtained by the Rome Institute should, how- ever, be borne in mind; what has been accomplished by it in the general interest can also be accomplished for the mining industry throughout the world, if there is a resolute effort and the intellec- tual and moral foundations of the work are truly laid, If, however, it is thought inexpedient for any reason at the pre- sent moment to consider mining from the point of view of intel- lectual co-operation, I would suggest that a general study from the international point of view should first be undertaken —— irre- 136
