MANUFACTURE OF SPELTER
ENGLANO'S BIG PROBLEM
OUTPUT Since Outbreak Of War Has
Been Less Thnn Normal in
Peace Times.

LONDON. July 24.-"Tho whole prob
lem of increasing the manufacture Of
spelter in the United Kingdom is en-
gaging the immediate attention Of His
Majcsty's government" declared Mr..
Bonar Law. in behalf of the govern
ment. in Parliament recently. More
than score of questions had been put
to him urging the necessity Of pre-
venting any further shortage or rise
in price of zinc. which has advanced
to nearly five times It's value before
the war.
Strange az IL may seem in the face
of the urgent demand for zinc in max
ing cartridge cases and other munition,
the output of the British works since
the beginning Of the war has actually
been smaller than normal Several
plants have had Il number Of furnaces
idle and the productive capacity of
the others has been only about half
what 1t was before the war. The main
reason. 1t is said. Is the withdrawal OF
skilled labor by enlistment. Al the
same time 1t is admitted that the Brit
ish plants are old-fashioned, lacking
the numerous bor-saving devices
which have been adopted in Germany
and the United States during the past
seven or eight years.
Estimates have now been prepared
for the government for the erection
OF new smelling works of the latest
type in this country, capable Of deal
ing with 20o,000,oo0 pounds Of con-
centrates a year and producing about
10000 tons of zinc. The plant could
begin to make deliveries within nine
months. The cost of erection would b"
about 100000.
A knotty question in connection Will.
the spelter situation Is provided by the
outstanding contracts entered into by
the Australian mines with German
houses AS explained By Mr.. Bonar
Law:
II am not aware that there Is any
German-owned- spelter in Australia.
Australia. however. produces large
quantities OF zinc ore and concentrates.
These were not manufactured into
spelter in Australia. but before the
war they were principally exported to
Germany for that purpose. On De-
cember IL the Australian government
drew the attention OF His Majesty's
government to the contracts with Ger
man firms by which they were con-
trolled. The question OF these con-
tracts is now being considered"
Before the war Great. Britain was
content TO procure most of her zinc
from smelling companies in Germany.
Belgium and France. which extracted
the metal from the Australian ores
A bin is being put through the Aus
tralian Parliament dealing with the
ore supply and releasing the mines
from their German agreements. but
some of the mines are owned by COM
