...technologically out of date. In sheet and tin-plate capacity, there is only one modern, high-speed, continuous mill installed in all Britain. But that mill is reported to be operating at only two-thirds of capacity, while its rivals are busy as can be. Since the cartel is identified with the oldfashioned, high-cost mills, the question before Mr. Morrison was: is the Steel Federation sabotaging the one modern mill for fear of what its efficient methods may do to the price structure of the cartel...
...consumed 70,265 of the 183,700 long tons produced in 1939. No. 1 producer is Britain's Malaya with 1939 exports of 55,945 tons, No. 2 The Netherlands East Indies with 31,281. Like rubber, tin is also controlled in production by a British dominated international cartel. British...
...husband, Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma (Xavier's younger brother), Luxembourg prospered again, until at the outbreak of World War II it was a thriving little country of rich peasants, rich merchants, rich industrialists. It banks for much of Europe, is headquarters of Orbed, big European steel cartel, ranks as tenth steel-producing country of the world. It manufactures also leather and beer. Were it not for its fear of both friends and foes-which can hardly be told apart-Luxembourg would be a perfect Ruritania...
Eighty-five percent of the world's productive veins of quicksilver ore (cinnabar) lie in Spain and Italy. The great Spanish mine of Almaden, worked at least since Hannibal's time, was a prime pawn in the late Spanish war. A European cartel, pioneered by the Rothschilds, controls the world price. No. 1 world consumer, the U. S. uses 25,000 to 35,000 flasks * a year, normally buys half its quicksilver from the cartel, produces nearly all the rest itself...
Western U. S. quicksilver mines were sizable producers in the last century. But they exhausted their best ore, and of 90 or so mines in the U. S. today, most are marginal producers, their rate of production highly responsive to the cartel's price. Newest U. S. mine in commercial production is the Idaho Almaden near Weiser, Idaho, discovered by a sheepherder in 1936, leased and run by Lawrence Kendall Requa, son of Herbert Hoover's late friend and booster, Mark Requa. Vice presidents of Idaho Almaden are Sons Allan and Herbert Hoover Jr. Producing around...
