Two New Sources
For Chromium Found
By j. ). Scientist
Black Sonds Of Oregon
Holds War Mineral,
Scientists Told
BY the Associated Press.

SEATTLE, June 1.-two discov-
cries about chromium, an essential
war material which the United
States lacks. were reported to the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science here today.
A new source of chromium has
been found in the black sands of
Oregon and a new scientific method
Of locating chromium promises to
turn up more American deposits.
Chromium makes stainless steel.
1t comes from chromite. a mineral
usually appearing in the form of
heavy. black rocks. The country
now imports half a million tons "a
year and all the present known
American deposits. if worked to ex-
haustion, would not supply chro-
MUM needs for more than two or
three years.
The chromium reports were made
by John Eliot Allen of Portland,
State geologist of Oregon. Ore
CONS black sands are deposits where
the ocean once rolled in miles
farther than the present beaches,
from Coos Bay and Marshfield
southwark. The black sands lie in
lens-shaped formations.
More important is the new pros
pecting technique. This is based
on discovery that the earth, in
forming its crust, has laid down
the semi-precious black rocks in reg
ular formations. These may be par
allel zones, or steps or crossed for
nations somewhat like floor boards
above beams.
Most of these deposits are small
where they appear at the surface
But with the knowledge of prehis-
toric formation, geologist can take
known outcrop as his reference
and with compass point to the
places where other deposits will
likely lie. Deposits have been traced
in this way for S miles.
Mr.. Allen said that in Oregon
229 chromite bodies have been
found, AZ of them big enough to
yield more than 100 tons each and
one probably 100000 tons.
Montana and California have the
other principal known home de-
posits of chromite.

Fear Of Domination

BUENOS AIRES, June 18.-In-
formed Argentine sources declared
today that the South American ma
tions, dependent on substantial ex-
port trade balances for both finan-
cial and political stability, needed
material aid from the United States
to avert domination by totalitarian
powers in Europe.
These sources said the time had
arrived when the United States must
choose between extending far-reach-
ing financial aid to these economic
victims Of the European war" or
watching these nations fall into eco
nomic systems of Old World totan-
tartan nations.
Argentina, like Brazil, Chile,
Uruguay and other South American
republics, has seen her export mar
kets disrupted and some of them
eliminated by the spread of war in
Europe, these sources pointed out
Comments Follow Cartel Plan.
These comments came as news ar
rived from Washington Of q White
House plan for an inter American
cartel, or sales agency. to handle
Western Hemisphere exports.
(Under this plan a foreign pur-
chaser would have to deal with
this single agency rather than
shop around for bargain among
the various countries.
experts of the United States
Department of Commerce said
the plan would protect the
American republics against being
forced to accept barter deals such
as those offered by Germany and
Italy)
Argentines said this nation pro-
vides the best example of the peril
to Pan-American democratic soli-
darity in the present economic prob
lem.
Argentine is one of the strongest
democracies below the equator, they
declared. but economic instability
is an ever-present threat of her Sc
curity.
Markets Abroad Reduced.
Failure of Argentina to maintain
her economic position through
United States assistance would
mean. they said, that as soon as the
European war ends this country
would be subjected to the domina-
ton of Germany economy because of
inability to market her products
elsewhere.
Argentina. with an important out
put of wheat, corn, meat, hides and
wool in normal times, has lost 30 per
cent of her markets alb. oad-in Hol-
land, Belgium, France, Norway, Dem
mark, Poland and Czecho- -Slovakia,
as we'll as through reduction Of trade
with Germany and Italy.
Great Britain, whose buying
power has been strained by war
needs, has been Argentina's best
customer.
Argentina, of all the South Amer
ican nations, has been coolest to
the United States. these sources
asserted, but strong faction.

removed as sources Of supply be-
cause of the war.
Fruit Source Threatened.
Italy's entrance into the war
threatens the source of supply of
other important foodstuffs, includ-
ing citrus fruits, dried fruits, canned
tomatoes and onions. The Mediter-
ranean countries normally supply
Britain with three-fifths Of her i'm
ports Of citrus fruits. During 1887
and 1888, about two-f1fths OF British
imports OF onions came from Medi-
terranean countries, principally
Egypt. Another two-fifths of Brit
ish onion imports were supplied by
the Netherlands.
The wars developments mean her
increased dependence on imports of
foodstuffs from Canada, the United
States, South America and Aus
trata. BY strict rationing, 1t will
be possible for Britain to make
existing supplies last longer than
they would in peace. Reports reach
ing here indicate the British SOL
uleTS, per CAPITA, consume Twice as
much food as civilians.
The United States has ample sur
pluses Of foodstuffs of nearly every
kind. These will be available for
shipment to the United Kingdom
as long as the sea lanes are open
to shipping. Britain has acquired
large part Of the merchant fleets
of Norway, Holland and Belgium
in the aggregate q substantial addi-
ton to Britain's maritime power.
So Britain will not Immediately face
shortage of food ships. Using the
convoy system, the British Ad-
miralty is believed to have been
notably successful in maintaining
the flow of empire trade. Unless
the Nazis succeed in erecting an
impossible barrier between the
United Kingdom and its oversources
of supply, it seems unlikely that
Britain will face the threat OF
starvation
