Here are the inside facts in this highly important situation. The Aluminum Corporation for many years has dmported its ore from Dutch Guiana, unloaded it at | New Orleans, where it was cracked, | then shipped it to its separate plants at Messina, N. Y., Alcoa, Tenn,, St Louis and Oregon. At these plants it was made into alumina. Then it was shipped all the way across the United States to Pittsurgh to be rolled, then all over the U. S. A.! again in finished form to the air- plane factories—many of them on the West Coast. ! Thus trafisportation alone ob- viously has been an important rea- son aluminum sells for 19¢ a pound.
