LiaAL >-40 A Executive Ceonittaa Meeting Minutea Exhibit "B April 17,1945 STATEMENT OF THE LEAD INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION TO THE COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WASHINGTON, D. C. ON EXTENSION OF RECIPROCAL TRADE AGREEMENTS ACT H. R. 2652 The Lead Industries Association, representing practically the entire lead mining industry in the United States; also representing manufacturers of metallic products such as sheet lead, pipe, type metal, babbitt, solder, cable lead, and other lead alloys; and the manufacture of tetraethyl lead and all the lead pigments in the United States, such as white lead, red lead and litharge, respectfully requests the Congress not to delegate to the President the power to make a further cut of 50 per cent in the rates of duty prevailing on January 1, 1945, as provided for in H.R. 2652, and to limit any extension of the Act to a period of one year. Our reasons are as follows: 1. The Trade Agreement with Mexioo has reduoed the duty for the duration on lead by 50 per cent, a reduction whioh was extended to all countries, notably, Canada, Peru, Australia and Argentina under our "most-favored nation" policy. This reduction was intended for the duration as noted in the following statement of the State Department of December 25, 1942, which refers to the Mexican Trade Agreement: "The existing duties on lead are 1 l/2 cents per pound on lead content for ores, matte, and flue dust, and 2 l/8 centa per pound for lead in bullion, pigs, dross, and other forms. These rates are reduced by 50 per oent in the agree ment with Mexioo, to 5/4 cents per pound and 1 l/l6 oents per pound, respectively, for the period ending 50 days after termination of the national emergency proclaimed May 27, 1941. Thereafter the rates viy be 1 1/5 oents per pound on ores, matte, and flue dust, and 1 7/l0 oents per pound on lead in other forms*" The language of Sec. 2 of HR 2652 as now drawn oould be interpreted to make permanent the 50 per oent reduotion which now exists and whioh was N 661.02 LIA0270? z established as a temporary rate by the Stato Department itsoIf* HR 2652 would go even further and delegato to the Erocutive Branch power to make a further cut of 50 per cent of this allegedly "temporary" rate* Unless provision is made to eliminate Sec. 2, or to olarity HI 2652, the lead industry will face, after the war, and without any hearing on the subject, an established reduction of W per cent, and a possible reduction of 75 per oent, as oompared to the expectation of a rate 20 per oent be low the 1930 irate* 2* It is apparent that our Industry receives little or no protection from the existing duty ~of 1 1/16 cents per "pound, as has been clearly established by events during the past two" or three years, as follows: In the year 1944, it required an approximate average price of 8 l/4 cents per pound to bring out a production of 400,000 tons of lead in the United States* Our Government had to adopt a system of subsidising American lead mines in order to obtain the lead necessary for prosecuting the war. We estimate that less than 200,000 tons oould have been produced at the ceiling price of 6 l/2 cents per pound* At the same time the Mexican, Canadian and Australian producers were supplying large tonnages of lead to the United States or Great Britain at approximately the following prices (which are expressed on a delivered New York basis of cents per pound for ready comparison): Mexican producers 6 cents per pound - early 1944 6 l/2 oent 8 per pound - late 1944 Canadian and Australian producers 5 cents per pound, or less United States producers 8 l/4 cents per pound 3* In each oase the Government authorities concerned, whether in the United States or in the above listed oountries, after eareful investigation, have established the price necessary to bring out the needed lead. It will be noted that the price received by American mines has exceeded the price paid Mexican producers by about 2 cents per pound, and has exoeeded the Canadian and Australian prioo by over 3 oents per poind. This furnishes a reliable gage for comparing posts cf production in the Unitod Stages and in foreign oounirics* 4* It is apparently the intention of the Ubited Bations to destroy Germany *s heavy industry as one of the methods for demilitarisa tion. Should Germany*s heavy industry be destroyed, it would mean that Germany, which used 226,000 to 275,000 tons of lead yearly before the war, would only be oounted on for a small fraction of its prewar requirements* 5* The United States dollar is in suoh demand today that all foreign producers of metals are most anxious to sell for dollars and not for pounds, franos, pesetas, rubles, eto. 6* . Although the trade treaty with Mexioo has reduoed the lead tariff to only 1 l/l6 cents per pound, the differenoe between what our mines have received with the add of premium prices wnd what the Mexican IIA03703 ?5t miner is receiving, is equivalent to the old duty of 2 l/B cents per pound# so that our miners have not yet felt the depressing effeot of the 1 1/16 C cents perpund duty, Even without any further out, it is doubtful whether more than half of the miners in the United States oan be employed in competition with lead ooming from Mexico, Canada, Peru, Argentina and Australia, espeoially if shipments to Europe will be curtailed owing to Gcnnany's demise* 7. Lead is a metal of the hl&ost strategic importance in war time. In aanun.ition, storage batteries, cablos, gasoline, bearings a!n3" dozens of other applications it 1b militarily indispensable. Prom the standpoint of military security nothing should be done to impair the ability of this oountry to remain the world's prinoipal lead producing country* If the United States lead mines are forced to elose down due to forei^i competition, there is no assurance of reviving an mhealthy or dead industry at a critical hour* 8* There are undoubtedly large reserves of lead whioh await discovery in the United States but can only 'be found Ij? a healthy lead mining industry continues to exist mder the proteotion of an adequate tariff. 9. The lead mining, smelting and refining, and manufacturing industry has no reconversion problems of serious oonsequenoe* It is ready and anxious to play an important part in resuming and providing peacetime employment for returning veterans and contributing to the necessary large pool of postwar jobs. 10. Lead in peacetime has moved freely in international trade and is, therefore, sensitive in it6 movements to variations in oost of production and fluctuations in the market price. World commerce in all products will be in a disturbed condition after the dose of the war. At this time it is impossible to foresoe postwar commercial relationships among countries, especially as affected by variations in foreign exchange rates. Relationships in foreign exchange Have ihe effect of1 tariffs* Under existing conditions, therefore, it is especially desirable not to make any changes in the tariff rate* during the immediate postwar period* CONCLUSION In view of the above the lead industry has no ohoica but bo oppose the renewal of the Trade Agreements Aot in its present form, HR 2662 and respectfully requests the Committee on Ways and Means to modify it as follows: 1, To limit the renewal of the Aot to a period of one year from its expiration date of Jine 12, 1945. 2. To eliminate entirely See, 2 of HR 2652 permitting changes in duties as of January 1 194S, as it is inappropriate for the lead sohsdules by reason of the Mexican Trade Agreement, and because the tariff outs authorised would be ruinous -to the lead industry. Respectfully submitted, CLINTON h. CHANS President. l ia C270^ Note: Supplementary statistical information on the lead mining industry in support of our position follows: ' LEAD STATISTICS Supplemental statistical information about the lead mining industry will be found guzsn&rlced as follows: OCCURRENCE: Lead is found in many States and in Alaska. In detail the following States have an important interest in the tariff policy of our Government on lead by possessing commercial mineral deposits furnishing a livelihood to thousands of people and adding constantly to the wealth of the country: Arizona Idaho New Mexico Washington Kentuoky Oklahoma Tennessee California Montana Texas Arkansas Kansas Wisconsin Virginia Colorado Nevada Utah Illinois Missouri New York North Carolina In the aggregate these states produced a total amount of lead as shown in the extreme right hand column of the table be low. IMPORTS COMPARED WITH PRODUCTION: Before the war lead consumption and supply were almost in 'balance and imports comparatively light but as tho following table indicates, huge imports of lead have taken place during the war* COMPARATIVE DOMESTIC MINE PRODUCT ION AND IMPORTS OF LEAD* (In Short tons) IMPORTS PRODUCTION Year Lead in Ore and Matte Lead in Base Bullion 1955 1956 1957 1938 1939 2Q.OOO 2Q,700 34,100 45,400 3Q,*>0 2,700 500 1,800 15,300 48,900 1940 1941 1942 1945 1944 111,500 107,000 123,000 70,000 90,000 19,600 - .m m Pigs, Bars, Sheets, and Scrap 1,500 2,600 4,900 3,200 7,100 m,6oo 274,000 569,000 245,000 220,000 Total Lead Content 24,000 25,600 40,800 63,900 86,800 282,000 581,000 92,000 313,000 310,000 Domestio Mines 331,000 373,000 465,000 370,000 410,000 457,000 461,000 496,000 446,000 417,000 *Dept. of Conneroe and War Production Board. Ll&0 ^ 6m Lead imports hare 'been most welcome in wartime, but we must remember that they have also enabled foreign countries to keep their lead mines operating* In fact, more lead has been imported in the last five years into the United States than entered the Itaited States in the preceding fifteen years# These purchases have been most generous to foreign producers# COMPARATIVE WAGE RATES; The tariff Issue narrows down principally To an equalisation of competitive wage rates# The wage soale for miners today in countries south of the border is only about onefifth of what it is in the United States. Although to be sure, productivity of Aster loan labor may be higher than elsewhere in the world, it is obviously not possible for one American miner to out produce five workers south of tiie border# Our labor saving machinery Is readily available to foreign producers* CHARACTER OF IEAD ORE DEPOSITS: Another factor is, of course, Jthe difference in the character of the lead deposits that nature has plaoed in various parts of the world. The very fact that Canady, for example, can produce lead today profitably at a price which is far below our crwn is predicated in large measure upon a richer ore deposit.
