Aircraft are employed extensively to

by storms or other causes.
The size Of mines is different in diff.
ferent countries, and they are spherical
or cylindrical in shape In the United
States the average contact mine Is
about forty inches in diameter and
contains about 100 pounds Of INT,
gun cotton or other explosives. They
run from that size up to seven feet

COORDINATE THE TIN TRADE

Washington, April IA more ef-
fectiye coordinate OF allied supplies
OF raw materials Ia almost as impor-
tant as the recent coordination In the
field which, by the selection OF Foch
AZ commander-ln-chlef OF the allied
forces, Is confidently expected to de-
stroy autocracy. Those optimists
who have declared this war Is 30
changing human nature that CONNER
clal defenses will be obsolete when
peace returns must find little comfort
In the exhibition OF selnshness on the
part OF certain citizens OF our great
est associate with respect to the tin
supply.
Tin Is n raw material not found In
the United States In any appreclable
quantity, yet even In normal times
this country consumes so per cent of
the worlds production. That Is one
OF the results Of the establishment In
this country, by President McKinley's
tariff policy, of the greatest tin-plate
industry In all the world. Our two
great sources Of supply, prior to the
war, were Great Britain and the
Straits tlements-colonia possess
sions Of Great Britain. OF the 1884,
100000 pounds Of tin imported by us
during the calendar year 1913 nearly
55,0OO,OO0 came from Great Britain,
and 100000 from the Straits Set
Elements. At this time 1t was Eng
lands policy to confine the tin trade
to London, so that all shipments from
the Settlements of America went first
to London and then across the Allan
tic, instead of following the logical
route across the Pacific to San Fran
cisco, thus avoiding double risk of
loss in transit, and double insurance.
BY this control of the trade the price |
set in London set the price of tin |
the world. The trade was
in the hands Of the London Metals Ex- |
change, which set prizes on nearly all |
metals.
Shortly after the outbreak of the
war the British Government took over
the control of iron and steel, but tin
was left in the hands of the Ex-
change, which was charged to see
that none of 1t fell into enemy hands.
At this time the British Government
was ordering from us vast quantities
Of canned goods for the soldiery, and
our need for tin was pressing. con-

lowing statement in January 1912:

ton OF allotments to the United States
while the British traders even, went
30 far as to detaln tin purchased and
paid for by us until our acute short
age enabled them to sell to US their
own tin at handsome profit, When
our Government was asked to take
action, It mildly protested" Mean
while we were unearthing other
sources Of supply, some 20,000,OOO
pounds from the Dutch East Indies in
1916, and 100000 from Hongkong
Late last year an agreement was
reached with the British officials CIV
ing the American Iron and Steel In
stitute control OF distribution OF tin
here. In December England stopped
speculation In tin, an arrangement
having been previously made provid-
Ing for direct shipment to the United
States, from the Straits, over the Paci-
fc, subject to permit. These permits
have become so difficult to obtain that
Straits tin is disappearing from our
market. Our dispute with Holland
over her vessels, resulted in her EN-
bargoing Dutch vessels sailing to
America, so our East Indies supply
has fallen off tremendously, while
Japan, now in control of Pacific ship
ping, has the Hongkong supply under
control, and she is putting on the
screws for all the situation permits.
All this goes to show how human
nature will take advantage of an oc-
casion, no matter how grave it may
be, to fatten its bank account. I'm
we must get together and
arrange for a steady and adequate
supply of tin for the great commits
