Unprofitable Plan
Lead and nickel in spent bullets
were not worth recovering from rifle ranges as part of the national waste utilisation campaign, stated the Minister of Defence, Hon. F. Jones, in reply to a suggestion by the Hastings Borough Council that they be recovered from a range near Hastings. The Minister said that all previous attempts to recover metal from rifle ranges, even on larger and older ranges, such as Trentham, had proved to be profitless. Recent efforts to recover metal from Trentham did not produce sufficient revenue to pay for the meals of the men engaged. It is not alone the courage, the intelligence, the activity of the English manufacturer and merchant, which maintain the superiority of the production of their country; it is far more their wisdom, their economy, and above all, their probity.—Baron Dupin.
