The status of the League as an an'ielioratc‘u' of world conditions grovs more powerful year by year. The change in international thinking since the year 1911, when for many decades the idea had been accepted , that pe must definitely remain an “armed camp” likely to burst into open conflict at any time. is phen- omenal. It is inconceivable that without such an organization as. the Leac'ue or Nations the hazard- ous experiment. of changing Europ- ean boundaries in many directions and setting up new nations. «le- t‘ideol on at. Versailles in 1919. would haw been so successful. During the past year there have. beer several crises which in other (law \\'l)llltl have provoked one. of those: war scares which were al- most monthly occurrences. but which have proved amenable to im mediate settlement without. re- ('mu'se to arms. These happy solu- tions are undoubtedly due to the influence as well as the. direct offi- reset the League. m m-ruung \Vlwtlwn' h» is justi- fiml in passing anntlwr whivlu when :1 mm: is appmat-hing. a motorist. tlcws \wll tn malm allow- ance fur the fact. that. the oncom- ing: automobilo may lw choeding the! spot-cl limit.

It is expected that, 200 tons of refined metal will be recovered annually in this way. The new Penpoll smelter, WllOSO tires have just been lighted, is the largest. in the world, and capable of treating hall“ the entire world’s output of tin ore. The new plant. is equipped with conservation processes which are unique in the smelting industry, Howeson stated. America is the greatest consum- er. Howeson said. and as it is in- ‘creasing its output of automobiles at the rate of 2,000,000 per annum and each automobile requires six pounds of tin in its production, the consumption of tin by this industry alone is increasing at the rate or 6.000 tons a year. From, every civilized country, he added, the demand for tin is rising and, pro- ducers are. finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the deâ€" mand. “In Britain, as in America, tin is ro‘ming in a practical way to the aid of agriculture. Canning is al- ready in many parts relieving the financial depression of the farmer. There are almost boundless possi- bilities for fruit, vegetable and fish cunning.” “Without tin”, said Howeson, “much of the fabric of modern civilization would be impossible. The “mid has an inststefit and ever-growing need of this. elusive metal. Only bV tireless efforts In producers can this demand be met.

A world shortage of tin was .immtnent un- less every precaution was speedily taken, he said. The American auto- mobile industry alone would .use 6,000 additional tons of tin this year, and the canning industry, to name one among many, is developâ€" ing at such a rate as to rapidly accelerate the steadily growing demand for this valuable metal.
