BRITAIN SEES WAY TO STARVE UNITED STATES LAWYER THROWS OUT VEILED THREAT THAT BRITISH EMPIRE COULD PUT THE SCREWS ON THIS COUNTRY IN REGARD TO THE PRICE OF TIN—LIVE IN TIN AGE. HE SAYS

By F. A. WRAY International News Service Staff Correspondent. LONDON -“If anything happened to America's tin supplies, about 25 per cent of the American husbands would go hungry, for the simple reason that tinned food has robbed

American women of their culinary art.” In this sentence, Lord Askwith, famous British lawyer and industrialist, threw out the veiled threat that the British Empire could put the c rews on the United States in regard to the price of tin produced withirf the Empire. Lork Askwith was addressing the Royal Colonial Institute on the subjece of “The Empire’s Tin Supplies.” He did not mention rubber. He elaborated his point in regard to Amer-

ica.

"The United States is effectually sealing itself up in a tin can,” he said, “Half the food Americans eat is tinned. Americans are so busy tind so imprisoned in their tinned lives that they never stop to consider what would happen if the tin supply ran out and they had to fall hack again on ordinary fooci. Live In Tin Age

found. Nor will it ever he duplicated successfully. “The greatest amount of tin produced in a year is about 150,000 tons. Some 42'- per cent is produced m the British Empire. Thanks to Imperial Preference, more than 80 per cent of the world’s tin supply is smelted in the Empire. Fifty per cent of the world’s tin is consumed in the United States. “Demand has increased 81 per cent (since 1914). Yet supply with every price inducement ahd with all the help of heavily subsidized scientific assistance, has only increased 36 per

cent.

“In 1914. the United States imported 43,000 tons of metallic tin; in 1926 it imported 77,000 tons. “It is admitted that world supplies of tin cannot be increased appreciably Yet we are dissipating these supplies, and using nearly 150,000 tons yearly of irreplacable reserves. Canning Interests “The metallic tin consumption of the vast canning industry alone has nearly trebled in five years. That of | the automobile industry has more than doubled in the same periun. “There is a great, if not urgent, need for a method of conserving the I Empire’s tin supplies. “It may 1m? through a form of merg mg and trustification of all the existI ing British tin-producing companies, i together with the chief smelting inI terests, thereby enabling them to ob- | tain direct contact with the world’s chief consumers to the benefit of

both.

“Such a method, confronted with difficulties though it may seem at first sight, has much to recommend it from the constructive point of view. It would bring about Empire conservation automatically, while retaining the strong spirit of enterprise which is essential to this great industry. “Another method which is receiving careful examination is co-opera-tive selling. “What ever the form, some such system of the conservation of this valuable asset is highly desirable, not only from an Imperial but also from a world aspect. “I have no doubt that a method will be found in the near future which will consolidate all Empire producers and more closely align them with the major world consuming interests.’'

THIRD JAIL BREAKER TAKEN IN ILLINOIS

DALE MAN'S CATTLE

INDIANAPOLIS, lad , March 21More Indiana voters than ever before participated in the primary are expected to go to the [>olls on May 8,

1928.

A presidential primary contest, a senatorial race and the candidacies of ten aspirants for the governorship indicate an unusual turn out on the part of Republicans. The senatorial rivalry and the unusualness of eight campaigns for the governorship are expected to bring out as heavy a vote in the Democratic primaries. For several years, the Democratic primary vote has not been comparable with the election v’ote. This lack of interest has been attributed to a lack of rivalry in the ] party and prevailed until the senatorial race, two years ago, demonstrated that the Democrats would take part in the primaries whenever participation became necessary to ex-

press conviction.

In the general election two years ago, the Democrats polled 511,454 votes. One third of this total would be regarded as a high primary turnout, but there are now indications that more than 300,000 votes will be cast in the primaries, and in anticipation thereof the election officials will, this year, provide more ballots than ever before in Indiana’s history.

CHAMPAIGN, HI., March 20.— Wanted for cattle stealing in Illinois and for breaking jail in Indiana, John M. Watson of Areola, 111., was arrested here tonight. List Saturday night Watson and three others sawed through bars and escaped from the Montgomery county jail at Crawfordsville, Ind., where Watson was held on charges of stealing cattle. Watson is wanted in Tuscola, 111., for alleged cattle rustling deals aud was [

atorial nomination is expected to be keen, the greatest public interest is centering about the governorship and the possibility that there might be a nomination in the primaries. Preliminary surveys of the state,] made by political observers have re-1 vealed that there are Democrats who | believe that Frank Dailey, the first! candidate to announce, has a chancel of winning a majority in the primary in spite of the participation of seven rivals. This belief has been reflected in some early election bets which have come to the attention of politicians who meet at the capital. The theory on which these opinions have been supported is that Dailey is the only Democratic candidate who has attempted a state-wide appeal. It is recalled that while Dailey has lived for some time in .'mlianapolis, he was first an Eighth [tistrict Democrat and as such is still c laimed by “homefolks.” It is significant that calls for him to public meetings are more num erous from outside the capital than in Indianapolis where the fact that he is almost a unanimous choice is generally conceded. Dailey’s friends have been stirred to unusual activity in his behalf by the number of entrants in the race. John Frederick of Kokomo; George E. Herchman of Crown Point; Earl H. Crawford of Milton; Samuel O. Wells of Scottsburg; Olin R. Holt of Kokomo; George Dale of Muncie, and James Kirby Risk of Lafayette have not as yet made any appeal to the state as a whole. They occupy about the same position as “favorite sons” in presidential contests and while each has a strength in his own community, even their most ardent supporters recognize that Dailey is their leader in a [wpiilar, state-wide

appeal.

Friends of Dailey who have interested themselves in his behalf—he has named no managers—see in his popularity and in his appeal for general support, the means of avoiding a convention of fight for the nomination. They say that with the general increase in the public interest in the primary, a great number of Dailey supporters will get to the polls and they assert that this number is, and will be, sufficient to name him for gov ernor in the primary.
