DEsPERATE TIN SCARCITY
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Washington, D. c.

DESPERATE TIN SCARCITY
1t hasn't leaked out yet, but after
years of delay, and after facing
what may be desperate tin short
age, the state department is about
to negotiate a contract with the b.
livian government for the purchase
of about half of Bolivia's tin output.
This tin ore will be shipped to the
United States for refining in newly
established tin smelters.
This is big achievement for Bo-
ivian Minister Guachalla who, for
four years, has been hammering
home at the state department the
idea that Bolivia has something
which the United States needs vi
tally
But it by no means solves the tin
problem for the United States, for
Bolivia's production meets only
about one-half of this country's nor
NAL requirements.
To tide over the present tin cri-
sis, the national defense commission
contracted to buy $4,000 tons of re-
fined tin from the Dutch and British
East Indies. This is enough to last
for one year, but the question is,
will it ever be delivered?
The answer is doubtful. Only 49,
900 tons can arrive by January 1,
and even this may be held up by
German defeat of England or JAP
aneSe blitzkrieg on the Dutch East
Indies. ~',
Most amazing feature of the deal
is that the national defense COM
mission is not attempting to buy
new tin ore from the Far East, but
only the refined, metallic tin. In
other words, the tin is to be refined
in the Far East, then. shipped here.
Reason for this is: (1) because the
British put so per cent tax on the
export of crude ore to keep us from
setting up a tin smelling business
of our own; and (2) because the
state department still is following a
policy of dealing gently with British
interests.
In other words, while we will set
up a system of temporarily smelt-
ing Bolivian tin in the United States,
the British still will attempt to hang
on to their monopoly by smelling
as much as possible themselves
and up to a point high U. S. Off
Gals seem reluctant to break away
from the British system.

WILLKIE REVAMPS CAMPAIGN
MACHINERY

In some G. O. P. quarters Will
kie's protracted western stay drew
discreet but critical protests. He
was wasting valuable time, came
the complaints, handling too much
organizational detail himself.
1t was true that the tousle-haired
Republican standard bearer did oc-
cupy himself extensively with organ
ization details. But he did not waste
time-as plenty of old-line Republi-
can politicos are privately, and very
grumpily, attesting. He was far too
busy to suit them or see much of
them.
For the big untold story behind
Wilkes long and mysterious labors
in Colorado is that he completely
revamped the traditional G.. o. P.
campaign machinery.
It's closely guarded secret but
under the new set-up, the Republi-
can national committee and it's ma
tion-wide network of state and local
units, made up largely of veteran.
professionals, have been relegated
to secondary role.
Playing first fiddle in WILKES new
organization are the 300 Willkie clubs
dotting every state, and the ''inde-
pendent Democrats organization
headed by ex-Roosevelt Office hold
ers Johnny Hanes, former under
secretary of the treasury, and Lewis
Douglas, former budget director. Di-
rectly controlled by Willkie and his
personal lieutenants, these are the
organizations on which he is depend
ing to carry him into the White
House.
He is convinced that to be elected
he must win the big floating" mass
of independent votes.
