Mining | Industry
Called To Task

VICTORIA—The British
Columbia mining industry was
called to task recently for their
failure to live up to their public
relations responsibilities to the
B.C. community. Prof. Harry
Warren, Professor of Geology at
U.B.C., speaking before the 11th
Natural Resources Conference,
declared that “two companies,
one. of whom paid out over
$10,000,000, and the other over
$20,000,000 in dividends, gave
directly not one penny to
further basic research or educa-
tion.” Z|

He declared that if the mining
companies complain because
they feel provincial legislation
rules against them, it is most
likely their own fault through
their-failure to tell the story of
their contribution to B.C.’s way
of life.

“Tt is probably fair to say that
no primary industry has done 2
finer job of improving its tech-
nical efficiency than has the
mining industry. -In this respect,
B.C. can hold its head shigh
before both the rest of Canada
and the world in general. How-
ever, in the job of making known
its worth to the community and
explaining its peculiar problems,
even its best friends could hardly
claim that it had been
moderately successful in B.C.,”
Dr. Warren declared.

There were good prospects for
a lucrative future in the industry
providing the job of educating
the public as to the peculiar
characteristics of this industry
was properly done, Dr. Warren
said. The “ peculiar character-
isties "— exhaustibility, unpre-
dictability and extreme localiza-
tion—make it essential that the
industry be treated on its own
Merits and not merely as an
inexhaustible source of booty for
the tax collector, he added.
