The ar ticles will appear in this column on consecutive Fridays. By. DR. WILLIAM H. MYERS Assistant Professor of Mineral Economics and Technology As the nation's No. 1 processor of mineral pro ducts, Pennsylvania is sure to occupy a key posi tion in the current rearmament program. Evi dence of this is to be seen already in the stepping up. of production of coal and steel, the fundamen tal sinews of war. Other Pennsylvania industries similarly vital in defense and sure to be affected include , petroleum, refractories, cement, alumi nUm, tinplate, electrical equipMent, and fabricated metal of alll types. • What specific roles will our mineral industries play in national defense? The answer is depend ent naturally upon the extent of the program and the speed with which it is carried out. Certainly Pennsylvania's part will not be a small one, and thousands of workers in the state will do their share to carry it to successful completion. Today's warfare is characterized above all by the use of the internal combustion motor. Both gasoline and Diesel motors are-in widespread use in autos, trucks, tanks and airplane motors. While no accurate figures are available, it is certain that the horespower per soldier engaged in the present European war is far in excess of anything known in the past. This utilization of mechanical energy-is depend- Ent primarily upon steel and mineral fuels—the very materials in which Pennsylvania leads. the nation. Electrical equipment, • manufactured in large quantities in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, is also essential in all motor transportation.. • • The blast furnaces of the United States have an annual capacity of over 50 million tons of iron. One third of this capacity is located in Pennsyl vania. Stimulation of the steel industry directly, for the production of munitions or for the neces ary mechanical equipment to use them results in growing activity in .all the services , of supply to this giant of industries. More coal for coke, more limestone for flux, more refrgctories for the fur naces, is reflected by' increasing activity in the mines and quarries of Pennsylvania:- Associated with this is the inevitable increase in the demands for skilled labor and technical men. _ Cement is another Pennsylvania product which has direct military uses, principally for airfield runways, roads, and fortifications. This state supplies one-fifth of the national production: - - Therefore, we find Pennsylvania prepared to play a dual- role. The mines, quarries and petrol eum wells of the Commonwealth will - continue to supply most of the necessary raw materials. The processing industries will reduce these crude ma terials to useful form and combine them with oth crs imported from areas outside the state to pro- duce the basic requirements of rearmament.
