BRITISH SCIENTISTS

PERFORM GREATEST MODERN MIRACLE

London, Yesterday. Somewhere on the shores of the Mediterranean a small band of British scientists and engineers are performing one of the greatest miracles of modern times..:

Working in secret, they are extracting magnesium oxide from the sea. It has been done before in America. But for the first time a way of doing it economically has been found. It is a miracle that will give to Britain and the Em- pire unlimited supplies of the metal most ur- gently needed in armament manufacture.

A year ago the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research called attention to the precariousness of supplies available to Britain.

SUPPLIES CUT OFF

Yet on these supplies depended the and whole success of rearmament the ability of the Empire to fight a

war.

Britain has no natural deposits of magnesium. Most of the raw mater- ial is in Russia, Austria, the United States and Manchukuo.

War and annexation have cut off supplies from Manchukue and Aus- tria. In a few months, imports of all forms of magnesium, usually about 4,000 tons

year, worth £540,000, dwindled to 2,700 tons.
