Downtown Redlands FURNITURE APPLIANCES TELEVISION WEEK-October 20-25 Mining seen as great factor in solving ills Redlands Daily Facts Monday, Oct. 20, 1969 SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)The mining and mineral industry can do more to alleviate poverty and hunger and achieve peace than any other force in the world, an Australian official said today. Charles VI. Court, minister for industrial development and the North West. Perth, Western Australia, spoke at the 1969 convention of the American Mining Congress.

To back up his claim for the vital achievements possible by exploiting natural resources, Court cited his own experience in a development program "in one of the more challenging areas of the world." "In a few short years my home state has been projected from stagnation to the fastest growing state in Australia." he said. "We arc now experiencing unprecedented expansion in every sector of the economy- farming, mining, manufacture, commerce, personal buying power growing at a rapid rate. "This is no boast, but a simple illustration of what can be achieved by a Cinderella decides to convert its dormant natural resources into something real and lively." Court pointed out that the problem of containing a world population that will double in 30 years and raising living standards to an acceptable level presents a challenge to the resourcefulness and knowledge of man. "I feci impelled, therefore, to tell the developing nations in particular, if they really arc interested in banishing can be achieved through the generation of economic growth." he said. "The 'revolution of rising expectations' has brought with it an acute awareness of what on the surface appears to be an uneven distribution of wealth among nations.

"Yet the Creator must have been a great believer in decentralized economic opportunity. "Why else would the world's mineral wealth and agricultural potential have been spread so far and wide and in such inaccessible places for all to develop if they had the will and the way?" Given the opportunity, he told the Mining Congress members, their industry "can do more to alleviate world poverty, hunger and human misery, more to close the widening gap between advanced and developing nations, and more to achieve international peace and understanding than any other single force in the world." "The miner, the industrialist, the trader, the financier and the they play their role do more to achieve world understanding and peace in a generation than the politicians and diplomats could do in a hundred years. "Why? Because they are closer to reality, closer to their opposite numbers, closer to the community in the countries where they operate. "In other words, they have to io more with real people than with institutions." Court told the assembled industrialists that present opportunities for economic growth are "something more vital and satisfying than merely earning a living and servicing capital and getting rich. "It is a great human mission.
