Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineering, Vol. 10: 1917

When we speak of resources we usually have in mind material things, such as financial resources, mineral resources, agricultural resources, etc. It would appear, however, that this is a rather limited construction of the meaning of the word "resources," for with all of these material resources there is the presupposition that one has the ability to use them. Wealth owned by an idiot may not be to him a resource, but rather a liability. A mining deposit that no one knows how to work is hardly worth calling a resource. Wonderfully fertile fields in the center of Africa are not resources, to the extent that they are removed from the intelligent use of civilized men. In our own country it is true that wealth, mineral deposits, and fertile fields are resources, but they are such because there are resourceful men in our country who can use them. If the present war teaches us anything, it is this: In these days wars cannot be won because a nation has great material resources only, but rather because a nation has resourceful men.

Let us consider this carefully and see whether what I have said is true and what, if it is true, it implies. Mexico is a country that is wonderfully rich in possibilities. Unfortunately for Mexico, whatever the cause may be, the Mexicans have not, themselves, so far developed their possible resources to their country's full advantage. In so far as these resources have been well developed, it has been because resourceful men have gone to Mexico and endeavored to turn mineral and agricultural resources to profitable ends.
