FRENCH ORE FOR NAZIS
“In 1938 the ore content of French iron-ore production was 10.1 million metric tons, to which may be added 1.5 million tons from Belgium and Luxemburg, and 1938 was not. a record year. Of even greater importance is the French production of bauxite, which amounted to 682,000 metric tons of crude ore in 1938, or more than seven times the German production, while the smelter production of aluminium in France amounted to 45.300 metric tons, which was two and a-half times the German import of aluminium in the same year. For German aircraft production this represents an undoubted advantage, just as for Great Britain it represents a corresponding loss. But in the long run the oil factor is of greater importance than the ability to maintain the output of aircraft.”—-Professor D. I. Jack, the English Economist.
