But tin is not always available, and
after making all due allowances for
the new sources of supply and for
all economies possible in the use of
the metal, the War Industries Board
finds a deficit of some five thousand
tons in the amount required to meet
our needs. This too, after the
most careful estimate has been made
of all the needs of tin in the future
and without allowing for anything
unforseen which may occur to cut
down the world’s available supply.
Thus it will be seen that the Gov

fitting, the Red Cross is the source
from which help must come.

the Red Cross can collect tin from
