By Edward Trice Bell
SpecUl CabM to The Journal and Chicago
'' Daily Newt,
London, Dec H.(By Mall) Britain
has been vaaUy strengthened In many '
way by the war mentally, morally,
militarily, navally and especially Indus
trially. - At the start of the great strug
gle una country's Industrial poeltlon had
degenerated dancerously. Key " Indus
tries had passed into the hands of for
eigners mainly Germans and Britlwh
business activities were tending mure
and more to concentrate in the commer
clal domain. '
How different the situation now Is has
been made plain by F. G. Kellaway, par
liamentary secretary to the ministry of
munitions.
War deals pitilessly with Industrial
defects," said Mr. Kellaway. "We had
many, but most of them have been over
come, and the United Kingdom, while
maintaining Its position in departments
of industry where it has always held
first place, is now first in the world In
almost every sphere of industrial ef- ,
forf , , . "
Were Loaing Mica Market
Deallnv ftrxt with -n w mntjrfa1a Mr
Kellaway said that . as regards mica,
which Is essential to the electrical indus
try, the position of the British empire
was and is by far the strongest of any
country in the world. India produced
50 per cent of the world's supplies and
Canada 15 per cent, while 10 per cent
came front German East Africa. Yet the
mica market of the -world was on tne
point of being transferred from London
to Hamburg, wlng to the skill with
which Germany had obtained a large
measure of controj over the Indian
mines and the success with which she
bad captured the electrical Industry.
But. thanks to the measures that were
taken, Indian mica can now be exported
to London only, the mica In ' German
East Africa . Is being obtained by the
ministry of munitions, and the British
electrical Industry, taking the place pre
viously held by Germany and Austria,
is now the first in the world.
To her capture-of the tungsten indus
try Germany, owed her great superiority
In munitions production in the earlier
stages of the war. . Now we can produce
all the high speed Bteel needed for our
sonable' price to our allies, ' Britlnh
manufacturers are in a position to deal
with all the British empire production of t
ore and, if necessary, could convert the 4
whole world's output into metallic tung
sten or ferro-tungsten. ; -
"., Waste Gate Pat to Tte
-n. a. . ...
production of ferro-chrome, essenUal to
the manufacture of certain classes of
steel, was practically negligible. Now
there is at Newcastle-on-Tyne a plant
the power for which is obtained from
the waste gases from-coke ovens suf
ficient to meet requirements for many
years to come. - t -
Of the 240.000 tons of spelter in var
ious forms we used annually before the -war,
77 per cent was imported, practical
ly all from Germany, Belgium and Hol
land. Now the flow of Australian con
centrates has been diverted from -Germany
to this country and arrangements
have been made to double and in some
cases triple the plants of zlno smelters .
In this country.-
Before the war England depended for
our supplies of potash, 30,000 tons a
year, on the 8 trass fur t mines. It was
found, however, that 50,000 tons of pot
ash were going to waste every year in
the dust or fumes from blast furnace
gases, and planta in hand or in course of
erection should produce 18,000 tons per
annum from' this source, while the min
istry, has also initiated an entirely new
method of collecting the potash-bearing
dust. It is too soon to say definitely
that we shall become entirely independ
ent oi outsrae supplies, out we are a
long way on the road. "
' "Vast Improvement is Machinery '
One of. the greatest advances has been
the vast improvement in machinery, in
accurate work and in efficiency as a re
sult of the necessity of organizing for
the producUon of interchangeable repe-
uuu wort., jnecnamcai conveyors nave
been utUlzed in shop transport to an ex
tent never dreamed of. ami of other
means' that are employed two are now of
universal application. One Is the electric
truck, with or without trailers, and the
other Is the small platform, or skid, hav
ing what appears to he runners like a
sledge, between which. very low truck
on wheels can be Inserted, r
The old idea that scientific knowledge
Is very useful In the laboratory but Im
practical 'In the shop has been swept
away, and it is now realized more than
It ever was before or would .have been
for many years to come,- but for the
necessities of the war, that science is the
handmaid of production.
After a reference to the advanern
made in the production of magnetos and
Ignition plugs, Mr. Kellaway said that
this country very nearly lost' the war
owing to the fact that it was almont
entirely dependent on Germany, and Aus
tria for sclenUflo and optical glass.' At
the outbreak of war a considerable part
of British artillery was equipped with
gun sights exclusively manufactured in
Germany, and the optical and scientific
Instrument Industry In this country had
practically degenerated into a collection
ef middlemen, who mainly sold Instru
ments completely manufactured In for
eign countries, or cougni . xorcign parts
and assembled them.
Now Kngland'e output has Increased
at least 20 times and she Is self-supporting.
Much more, however, remains to
be done by the provision of more effi
cient works and furnaces, the install a-,
tion of the most modern machinery, the
development of potash production, the -training
of labor, scientific research and
government organization. .
