afterward when the commissary was

CHANCE FOR NEW INDUSTRY
Tin Shelters Should Be Established
in United States to Handle
Brazilian Ores.

Probably one of the best illustra-
tions of Americas opportunity to
develop new industries is afforded by
tin. The benefit which the United
States may obtain from the pres
ent situation is the establishment
of a tin smelter in this country
in which to smelt Bolivian tin ores
and such small output of American
ore as is produced. The tin coneen-
trates produced last year In the
United States were all shipped to
British smelters.
At the present time between 80
900 and 10000 tons of tin concen-
trates, carrying more than 10000
tons of metallic tin, are shipped each
year from Bolivia to Europe for
smelling. The United States import
ed several times that amount of
metallic tin last year and would
easily absorb all the tin smelted from
the Bolivian ore. The smelling of
Bolivian ores presents no difficulties
that American metallurgists can not
readily overcome, and Bolivian ores
viii now be easier 10 buy. If ships
can be found TO carry the ore an OPP
portunity seems 70 be presented for
Americans 70 begin purchasing ores
that have hitherto gone 10 Europe.
