arrived in America. on the invi- tatiori of U.S. defense experts to discuss the possibility of shipping Bolivian ores direct to the U. S , should the need srise. In the first press conference of his career nc recently revealed that discussions with the Defense Commission would touch on the building of a la U. S. smelter.

ere are, of course, other Bo- livian tin producers, most import- ant among whom are Hoehtchlld and Aramayo. But since Patina economics provide the main sta- bility for Bolivia's often-shaky economics, with which they are inextricably interwoven, if Patino says "no," what Bolivian interest can afford to say "yes"?

SMELTING THE TIN CREATES NEW PROBLEM

Even should Senor Pattno cori- eent to deliver his ores to America, the U S tin supply would not autnmaticially be assured. Domestic smeltierl can, of course, be built. Already the Phelps Dodge Corp. is experimentally refining Bolivian are? atIa pilot smelter at Laurel

But. there are many bugs to be worked out. For one thing, Lio- livlan ore is primarily impure. lt mist be mixed with Nigerian or Malayan ores, or subjected to a tricky, expensive electrolysis proc- ess. to produce first grade tin.

ln the second place, Bolivian production has frequently fallen short of the quotas allowed by the _tin cartel. Most observers at- tribute this to unstable Bolivian economics and high taxes rather than to depletion of tin reserves. But even working under the most favorable conditions. such as exist at prestnt, Bolivia cannot hope to produce much over 50,000 tons a year-about two-thirds of the U.S. normal needs.

‘Ihese. then, are the facts. But. the picture Ls not all black by any means, for America is. at long last, awake to her tin needs.

The longer the shipping lanes stay open, the greater the reserves America can lay up under the Defense Commission's buyiing policy. I! they m: closed, there might be s pinch.

By reclaiming scrap tin: by di- verting all supplies to essential industrial and military urptises: by building domestic sine ters and importing Bolivian ore directly, America's vital tin needs should

'Oanatlian Troops Patrol In Iceland

(By Francis Stevens)

SO Sept. dawn Canadian troops are engaged in patrols each night as they guard this sub-Arctic outpost of mirlrion against possible enemy at.- tac .

This correspondent accompani- ed a French Canadian Major as he led his men on a recent patrol over rough. rocky country while Icelanders slept.

The Major was a member of a regiment which provided a guard of honor in Montreal during the Royal Visit last year. Then no wore a brilliant dress uniform and busby. But on the night patrol his khaki brought the same dash to more astere duties.

The patrol visited where troops manned gum in the teeth of a. cold wind, meanwhile warming their feet at charcoal burners.

French Canadians call the Hoy- al Air Force here the "cocktail of Empire" as every Dominion is rep- resented in it, Canada by a fly- ing officer from Winnipeg.

Col. Paul Grenler of Montreal presided over the scene like the conductor of a symphony orches- tra. "Alouettc" and “O Canada‘ ivere sung with vigor.

Dinner was prepared by a chef formerly employed in a Montreal sea-food restaurant. The menu in- cluded bread-cakes shaped like airplanes.

while Antonescu has banned all uniforms, Iron Guardists por- aded the streets tonight in bright tunics and many women appeared in similar costume.
