“. . . The ratio of world copper, mined or unmined, or of iron, mined or unmined, per capita, has been continually decreasing. Therefore the increase in numbers served has not been the result of the addition of more resources, but the consequences of the scientifically designed multiplication of the performance per unit of invested resource.
