STATES CLAIM
GOVERNMENT RELIEF

Washington. y. C.. July 2e.-To show
the far-reachinE effect Of Attorney
General Palmer's opinion through
which se~venty-fve per cent of the
claims against the war Minerals re-
lief commission are eliminated. the
American mining ongre has ana
l-zed and hrst makes public the list of
claimants showing that thirty states
and three foreign nations are inter
ested.
The widespread development of these
minerals under war stimulus Is a
startling proof that Americans have
known very little about domestic re-
sources.
Before the war 1t was not believed
that the ferro-alloys minerals neces-
sary for high-grade steel production
could be probably produced in the
United States.
The Ming of foreign claims 10 a
result of a peculiar accident by which
the words. Produced in. the United
states" were dropped out Of the bill
as finally passed. leaving the door
open to Americans who had invested
abroad to assist the government to
file claims. The number and total
amount of claims from all states fol-
low
