Scope and Contents

The letter from George B. Schwabe to Mr. Henry E. Sapotas addresses the issue of premium payments for copper, lead, and zinc mining operations in the Tri-State District. Schwabe discusses his efforts to have the Reconstruction Finance Corporation make these payments, as well as the potential impact of shutting down mines in the area. He expresses concerns about the payment of subsidies and inflation, and criticizes the idea of reviving the OPA to facilitate these payments. Schwabe suggests alternative solutions and emphasizes the need for transparency in the situation. He concludes by offering his assistance in resolving the issue without supporting the revival of the OPA.
