TIN PRICE HIGH
High Canned Goods Prices
Charged to Good Will Policy
By SAM DAWSON
New York, July 12 MV-Credit part of the money you speed
for canned goodj to the dollar crisis abroad and Uncle Sam'i good ;
will policy.
Americans are spending about $85 million a year for the tini
to coat their cans of fruit, vegetables and beer. Tin might cost
considerably less, if the law of?
ciinnlv and demand were ai-
lnweA to o Derate.

Ill Children
Found in Cabin
Portland, July 12 VP- Two
youngsters were in a hospital
here today after seven brothers
and sisters, aged 10 years to 14
months, were found alone in a
12-foot square cabin east of the
city.
The sheriffs office said a two-year-old
girl had lobar pc-eumo-
nia and a 14-month-old siner
(also was fH. The others nursed
sores attributed to malnutrition.
Parents of the children were
believed in the Pendleton area,
selling berries picked east of
Gresham over the week-end. A
neighbor was supposed to be
earing for the youngsters, but
the sheriffs investigators said
the woman was employed else
where all day.
The family moved to Oregon
recently from Red Bluff, Calif,
Wolves apparently mate for
life, and the father aids in rear-
;ing the family.
Red Cross Reports
Made at Meeting
Routine reports featured the
meeting for the board of Marion
county chapter, American Red
Cross, last evening.
The home service department
reported a caseload of 160 for
the past month, with S545.95 ex
tended in loans and grants.
;Much of the caseload was as
sistance to veterans in making
lout and filing claims. The finan
cial assistance was given to vet
:erans or their dependents and
! servicemen or their dependents,
j James Wiles, first aid chair
man, stated two first aid classes
were completed recently for
state police personnel, one in
standard first aid, the other in
the advanced work. Eighteen
were in each class. He also stat-
ed the Red Cross first aid group
had been requested to set up a
: first aid booth during the Ame
rican Legion convention in ear-

plus will grow in the next few
years.
The tin that the reconstruc
tion finance corp. buys is sold
through the commerce depart
ment to American -manufac
turers of cans, solder and bear
ings. So far, the world sur
plus U no burden because we,
and others, are putting it into
strategic stockpiles
The British want to keep the
price of their Malayan tin high
for the obvious reason that
thereby they can get more dol
lars to help them balance their
dollar area trade books. They
would do the same with rubber.
probably, except that our large
production of synthetic rubber
forces down the price of natural
rubber in Mayala.
Just before the war, tin
brought 50 cents a pound. In
1932 it was only 21 cents. In
those days, American consumers
did their own buying, rather
than through their government.
but they dealt in large part with
foreign cartels that kept a firm
hand on production and prices
of tin and rubber.
Congress has just passed, and
the President signed, a renewal
of U.S. government control over
tin imports and the allocation of
tin among domestic users for an
other 12 months. The govern
ment also controls the opera
tion of the big tin smelter at
Texas City, Texas.
The British and Bolivians in
sist the price of tin Is not too
high. They say mining costs
have gone up both labor and
machinery 1 higher than pre
war. A price cut, they argue,
would mean drop In production.
The American tlnplate indus
try is no longer plagued by
shortages there Is no longer
any moaning by food packers
about tin being allocated for
beer cans.
This summer the food pack is
likely to be smaller than last.
This is due to fairly large in
ventories left over from last
year's pack. To move this sur
plus, canners have trimmed
prices. They now say they plan
to pay farmers less this year,
and to be more choosey In what
they buy, since they plan to can
less.
The weather, however, could
still play hob with their plans
In fact, the drought In the east
already has restricted eastern
cannery activity and sent Call
fomians scurrying to revise up
ward their quotas for vegetable
packs this summer.
In the meantime, the hou
wife can benefit from the lower
prices on canned goods. She
can also tell herself that part of
her food bill is a contribution
to our foreign relief program
through the maintenance of
$1.03 tin.
