The recovery is indicated in metals according merce New declined in the 1926 figures the larger than made up for the York bank, writing in the Commerce May, “the of Europe sumer of metals has become a dominant factor new high record in the metal world.” It continues: A number of new records were tablished last year in the world produc- tion and consumption of iron, steel, and the nonferrous metals. Aside from the fact that these advances indicate general industrial progress, situation of more immediate significance has become evi- dent. For several years expansion of industry in the United States made this country the dominant factor in establish- ing successive records in world con- sumption of metals. Low consumption in Burope and in other continents has been regularly more than offset by greater demands in the United States. However, in 1 the reverse of this situation occurred, and it expanding consumption abroad to which the gain in the aggregate is due. Assuming that production of ‘steel is a fair measure of requirements, European countries forged ahead with an increase of ten million tons, while in the United States consumption fell off some four million tons from the 1926 level. A gimilar increase occurred in European consumption of pig iron. The recovery of the European iron and steel industrie is a reflection of improved trade condi- tions and the establishing of better relations among the various producers, The absorption of copper by Europe in 1927 is another forcible example of the restoration of consuming power abroad. Although the aggregate con- sumption of this metal in' the United States was slightly lower last year than in 6, the demand in Europe was strong enough to offset the decline in this country and to establish a new- high world record. Substantial ex- ports of copper from the United States so far in 1928 indicate a continuation of the upward trend started last year, Slightly lower tin consumption in the United States in 1927 w offset by larger consumption in European coun- tries. New records have » been made in zine and lead because of increased demand abroad. Since the armistice there several minor starts to d dustrial recovery in Europe. The im- provement indicated by incre d re- quirements for metals in 1927 which has been accomplished in the face of a re- cession in the United States is of more than ordinary significance because it reflects the restoration of a general world demand for metal products as well as the rehabilitation of the Euro- pean metal industrie industrial activity consumption of Bank of Com- use of metals 1927 from the in Europe more The New Monthly for a con- in of Eur the d to the ational While the States in n of York United demand American loss. says recovery as establishing industries of the a es- has been general in- The Electrolux Company d¢f America sometime g0 offered a prize of §12,500 for the first flight the Atlantic from ecast to west.

Mr. Sterling, since his in the North with the Riggs Canada aska Boundary Survey, has been perm- anently identified with the Territory, both in private and public enterprise. During the five early construction years of the Alaska Railroad he served that project with great competence as an engineer. He was stationed on the northern division under his boundary survey chief, then member of the original Alaskan En- gineering Commission, and also under successive heads until construction was completed. Private | enterprise, including mining, claimed his atten- tion for a brief interval until he was called to a superintendency of the Alaska Road Commis- sion. During seven years in road building, years noted for accomplishment; he has indicated his faith in the Territory through investment. And now comes a call from a later chief, General J. G. Steese, who needs him on a major engineering project in the South American Re- public of Colombia.
