It would be cheaper in terms of national defense to mine Ameri- can tin at ten times the cost than it would be to remain dependent on a far distant supply in war- time. That tin is a wartime necessity was ect.abnshed beyond doubt when a recent survey showed the ma- erial to have 36 absolutely essential uses for the Army and 20 for the Navy. A plastic has been ieveloped which to a certain extent can take the nlace of tin in commercial containers, but for our hells and ordnance we can't get along without tin.| If our supply should be cut off, the U.
