 U. s. Ambassador Pierre Boal cabled full details of the strike to Secretary Hull and to Jesse Jones' Metals Reserve, which was worried. He reported that the Patino mines (owned by Patino, the worlds largest tin producer) attempted to end the strike by closing all company food store to starve the workers out.
 Government labor advisers in Washington interpret Ambassador Boal's highly interesting report as meaning that he approved the ruthless methods of the tin king and was critical of the more hu- mane attitude of the Bolivian Government.
 Ambassador Boal reported, among other things, that Col. Cu- enca, the government represen- tative, Host his nerve" after one of the workers was shot on Dec. 13, and that if the government had stood firm the strike would have failed quickly.
 The Ambassador noted that the workers had stored up some food of their own and that local gro- cery stores still had food left. It would take another week, he re- ported before workers would be starved out.
 Boal asked Secretary Hull for instructions.
 The situation is delicate be- cause the United States must have tin, but at the same time Roosevelt has been the cham piOR of improved labor cOndi- tiOns throughout the world, and his env0ys are not supposed to interfere in the internal affairs of friendly nations.

RATIoNING COMPLICATIONS

Let's have one thing understood at the outset.
This is no complaint The difficulties to be mentioned
NAV be unavoidable in connection with rotonine,
and certoinly rotoning is necessary.
At any rote, Inauguration Of the point system has
erected several problems of which two important
One is the financial and monPower burden placed
upon retailers The other is new boost in the already
high cost Of food for the family.
Rotonine is going to cost the nations food re-
items are added 1t is going to require services equvo-
lent to the full time Of 100 600 men and women,
unmeosureobIe part Of which presumably can be
supplied by doubling up Of work; the rest will de-
mond additional employees.
This covers inventory and marking Of stocks on
the point system, the collection Of coupons, their
sorting, counting and other handling. 1t does not
include added duties in the general offices Of chains.
Nor does it take in sugar coffee rotionne, that

The housewife must pay more for rotioned canned
and poekoeed goods even though there is no rise in
their prices because she is going to have to buy
Of the expensive smaller sizes.
She must buy smaller cans in order to get some
variety in her fomiIys meals with the coupons ovoiI
able. The small family will be hit harder than the
large family.
She will buy smaller cans, often because in that
way she can obtain more fruits and vegetables for
the coupons given her. So long as she can pay, she
will prefer to get the utmost in quantity for her
ration points, even at the\ expense Of financial
economy.
This con be illustrated with tomato juice, on the
boss Of octuoI prices marked the stock Of large
store.
For 81 points the housewife can buy AZ ounces
for q cents in single large can. For the same 81
points she get SIS ounces in four small But
that would cost 81 CENTS II she chooses Bounce
for vorety to preserve freshness when use is limited,
and to get more juice for the same number Of points,
it will cost her almost 40 per cent more for tomato

CELEBRITIES" ARE CHEAPER

One OF the biggest gains to the
country in the increased effici-
ency in shipyards through use
Of sub-assembly and production
line methods has been in the de-
creased cost of ships themselves,
despite higher costs Of labor and
materials and better design of
the ships. Steel cargo vessels at
the beginning of the defense eff
fort wre costing around sos a
ton to build. Today, that figure
is down to Sl82 ton and, as
$40 of that is armament, the net
cost is around Sl72. Maritime
Commission now believes this
cost will be reduced to $3.50 a
ton.
Translating those figures into
completed ships, it means Liber-
ty ships which were costing over
ST. million at the beginning Of
the war are now being built for
around Sis million, saving of
half a milliondollars a vessel.
The new amphibious jeeps
which the Army finally got
around to announcing few
days ago have in reality been in
production for months. They did
legion service in flood rescue
work in some areas near Army
camps during the winter, and
from time to time pictures of
them have leaked out where the
tricky vehicles appeared in local
parades and reviews. But Army
en- orship clamped down
against any general publicity or
any Identification of the am
phibs until they had actually
been in combat action against
the enemy.
Details Of the construction
still can't be given, but they are
naturals in sWampy, lowland OPP
erations. Need for such a We
hicle was demonstrated in the
Louisiana maneuvers. Army has
no intention to replace the STAN
dard jeep with the new more
specialized and more expensive
