 U. S. TAKES MOST
 OF TIN PRODUCTION
 There have been many critics in Malaya of tin control. Most criticism has been based on the argument that control is designed to keep the price of tin at a level profitable to high-cost producing countries, while Malaya a com- paratively cheap producer, would prefer greater freedom even if that meant a lower world price.
 Less is heard of this point of view now because Malaya realizes her sale of tin to the U. S., which takes TO per cent of world output, helps to provide U. s. dollars with which Great Britain can buy war supplies.
 One reason Malaya holds such a strong position in the tin world is that in addition to being the leading producer, she is concerned with the smelting of tin ore.
 Smelteries at Singapore and Penang treat not only tin mined in Malaya, but also large quanti- ties produced in the Netherlands Indies and Thailand.

LEST YOU FORGET

In the intimacy surrounding Who their world speed onward in its course: There springs the rhythm of nfes mighty source. Eor all is changed and war has come again. You must find truth and speak for those unborn, And bring hfe'S knowledge to the weak of heart An endless chain where gestures depart, And borrowings are lost and precepts torn TO not forget the heroes of your land . No mountain, sea or yrant bars your way The very dust has life where breaks the days. UnStained your honor as you grasp my hand The sorrow of a world remade in haste. Whose desolaton waits for Saner years May your new vision drive away old fears , Lest you forget and traitors rob and waste. The crimson lips of wars great passion speak . You soon will know the triumph God has willed And pray no blood of brotherhood bc spilled Lest you forget . tls maSter-mnds you seek

There is no big srnelting indus try in the U. S., which must thus buy all its metal in the smelted form. This has often been called a. fundamental weakness in the in- drlstrial setup Of the country.
 With world affairs unsettled, small quantities of the metal are being smelted in the U. s. and there have been frequent reports of important developments to expand capacity. Malayan producers, how ever, do not think British predom- finance both as producers and smelters will be seriously challeng- ed.
 The tin industry of Malaya is worth about $62,OOO,0O0 to the country every year. It employs nearly 100000 men, TO per cent of whom are Chinese, Il per cent 1n- dian and only 4 per cent Malayan. PRICE FIXED DAILY
 AT NOON IN SINGAPORE
 Singapore. and Penang, the lat ter in north Malaya, are the princi- pal tin ports of the world. Tin ore is now from the mines of the Ma lay peninsula and from those of the Netherlands Indies and is treated in smelters in the Straits Settlements. Before the war the Dutch used to send ore to Arnhern, in Holland, for smelting, but these supplies now go direct to Singapore or Penang.
 The price of tin in Singapore is fixed by the Straits Trading Company at noon each day, taking into consideration the tenders re- ceived from buyers during the morning.
 American manufacturers who use tin are represented in Singa- pore and obtain their requirements by making offers to the smelteries, which have bought ore from the mines or are instructed to sell on behalf of the companies con- cerned.
 Tin is shipped from Malaya in bars or ingots.
 A sensation was recently caused in Malayan mining circles by rev. elations during a public inquiry into charges of corruption among mines department officials. Sev-

in any other part of the world.
 The United States is buying large quantities of tin from Malaya, partly to meet abnormal require ments of the defense program and partly to create strategic reserves. Consequently, the islands tin mines are enjoying unparalleled activity.
 Economic ties with Malaya are perhaps more important to Ameri- can industries than those with the Philippines. Any threat to this part of the world would also threaten the American 'motor car industry, which depends on Malayan rubber, and food sup plies, much of which is canned in containers made from Malayan tin. But tin has many uses other than for canning.
 Tin mining in Malaya is fairly equally divided between Euro pean-owned mines using up-to- date dredging machinery and Chi nese-owned concerns, many of which use old-fashioned methods. Less than 30 years ago Chinese were responsible TOT oO per cent of the country,s tin production.
 Malaga is the biggest producer of tin in the world, being assessed for the purposes of international control at a maximum capacity of more than 10000 tons year, com pared with 36,0OO tons for the Netherlands East Indies. Malaya's only other big competitor is Bolovia, where exports have rarely come up to official estimates of productive capacity.
 These three countries, with Nigeria, are parties to an interna- tional restriction scheme which controls production to insure re- munerative prices for miners, and to safeguard the resources of the industry by preventing uneco- homie overproduction. It is a gov

 Looking back over the years to an era when young men conSid- cred it their duty to serve their country during wartime, we re- call saWed-off hired man who tried every recruit depot during the SpaniSh-American War; young Kelly who reported in knee brooches; Elkins, Missouri lad, who died at Chateau Thierry be- fore his first shave, and a host of other juniors who dropped their schoolbooks and got tailhold on Glory.
 Nobody asked those kids why. Everybody knew their reason for almost immediate enlistment. They had been taught that eter- nal vigilance and exacting service is the price few people pay for their right to govern themselves. They had lived in an era when it was not the style to play down Americas past martial accom- plishments. They had seen the light in old mems eyes when the COlOrs went past. heard the stub- born thunder of the deep drums, looked longingly at the old and not -t00-clean rifles hung over the fireplaces, and fingered fabric of Army Blue.
 Back there, kids were brought up to believe that Q human male animal, afioat or ashore, had work to do when this country declared war. It was not unmanly or low brow to fight. And the old-tlmers mighty soon proved to the new rec Gruits that their mission was to learn soldering from the ground up and to become masters at their trade.

 There had been riots and blood shed as a result of disputes con corning ownership of the mines but the region was soon given law and order-a peace which has lasted for more than 60 years.
 It is not likely to be disturbed unless Japan casts covetous eyes on the peninsula's tin mines.
 To deal with that contingency is one reason why the Singapore base was built and why Malaya is now so strongly defended.

Johnny's ears are frozen, The same can be said of Billy'S, There's snow as far as the eye can see, But on Susy's hat-valley lilies. All about us is winter,
 It lowers and it glowerS, But in the millinery department It's garden of flowers.
