processes for their use may not be developed without excessive cost. If so, some measure of protection would be reasonable. For instance, there are very extensive deposits of flake graphite in the United States, many of which are handicapped by a fineness of texture which is said to make them undesirable for one of their principal uses, the manufacture of crucibles. War experience indicated that the American grades could be used to a larger extent than had before been anticipated; but with the resumption of peace condi- tions, foreign supplies have again dominated the market. Without committing ourselves definitely for or against a tariff, we suggest that a case of this kind affords a reasonable field for investigation as to the possible application of a tariff. Coneclusion This statement of principle emphasizes nature’s distribution of minerals as a basic factor in determining the international move- ments of minerals, It does not attempt to cover all the qualifying economic factors in the situation. These considerations are presented from the point of view pri- marily of the broad self-interest of the mineral industry of the United States, but they are also vital to the preservation of friendly international relations. We are confident that a common under- standing of these elementary facts of geographic distribution of minerals, and of the consequent necessary mineral movements determined by nature, is an important first step in minimizing international difficulties. The interests and ambitions of the different parts of the mineral industry in foreign matters are so extremely diverse, and each of them is urged so vigorously that it is difficult to discern what, if any, are the underlying aims and principles of the industry as a whole. The industry itself is presumably better qualified to speak on these matters than others, and yet to the public its represent- ations must sound like a babel of special interests. This is perhaps an inevitable consequence of the scattered geographic development 658
