A hangar was hit, four enemy aircraft set on fire and others damaged; all our aircraft returned safely.

At night our bombers made at- tacks on a chemical factory at. Hochst which was left in flames, on the Dortmund-Ems canal, on marshalling

help her overcome her shortage of copper and other needed metals.

The French Iron and steel in- dustries, the "Economist” points out, depend largely on imports of coal, manganese, etc. The German dream of controlling the Iron-ore resources, of Central Europe and North Africa and building up 'Iron and steel metal Industries to rival the United States are far from realization.

and Manganese, nickel, tungsten other metals are not available in any quantity in Europe and North Africa and are now with-held by our block- ade. Britain, on the other hand, has an ample supply and can get supplies of iron-ore from home and the Em- pire, as well from the resources of the American steel industry.

In 1938, the United States produced 73,000,000 tons of steel and between them the English-speaking countries can produce twice as much as the whole of Europe combined.---Reuter.
