Abstract
AS a by-product of recent discussions about resources in essential raw materials, the word ‘strategic’ has acquired a specially limited significance in the United States. It refers to those materials which are not obtainable from within the national boundary in sufficient quantities to meet current industrial needs and therefore, in times of emergency, military necessities as well. The peace-time and war-time requirements of a modern State now differ quantitatively rather than qualitatively, and so the list of contraband materials has become extended very widely by all States.
