Industrial Revival and War Preparations Boost World Demand. By me Associates) Press. NEW YORK. April 22.—Tin con sumption figures for leading nations of the world bear witness to the for ward surge of industry and war preparations demands. For the year ended February, per centage increases in consumption were reported as follows: United States, 16.3; Soviet Russia, 38.2; France, 23.1. Declines were: United Kingdom, 2.2; Germany, 7.8, and other countries, including Italy and Spain, 10.1. These figures, compiled by the International Tin Research and De velopment Council, are interpreted as imports of tin rather than actual use, but nevertheless throw some light on the general consumption trends. Trade circles said they reflect world improvement in trade and industry derived mainly from the expansion of motor output and heavier demand from the tin plate industry. A point stressed by trade observers is that tin is not a munitions metal. Its use by nations preparing for war, however, has been stepped up by tin plate makers producing cans and other miscellaneous products. While world consumption in the 12 months ended February totaled 160, 391 tons (of 2,240 pounds), or 7.4 per cent higher, differences in the rate of gain between some countries or actual declines are in some measure illustrative of varying conditions. For instance, Soviet Russia turned in the widest gain. This, analysts say, is attributable to strenuous efforts of the country to push to the front rank of the world’s industrial nations. The small decline registered by the United Kingdom has as its most prob able explanations, experts say, the more intensive use of stocks previously accumulated. The drop of 7.8 per cent shown for Germany emphasizes that country’s determination to take as little raw material from the outside world as possible and her program of using substitute materials. The decline in consumption by Spain and Italy is explained in trade quar ters in terms of the current struggle now taking place in Spain and the depletion of Italy’s purchasing power owing to her venture into Ethiopia.

NEW YORK, April 22.—Telephon* rates may increase if prices continue to rise, Walter 8. Gifford, president of American Telephone & Telegraph Co., told stockholders at the annual meet ing yesterday. "If prices of practically everything, including wages and taxes, continue to rise, telephone rates cannot continue contrary to the general trend," he said. "They must ultimately follow it un less the Increase in prices is so gradual and within such limits that inventions and improvements in operating tech nique can be made fast enough and productive enough to create offsetting economies,” he added. On the other hand, he said, “in the long run, other things being equal, we look to development and research to reduce the cost of furnishing telephone service." MONTREAL SILVER. MONTREAL.
