London, August 5. Dr. Karl von Alshagen. a Ger- man journalist resident in London, addressing the Libera Summer

School at Oxford yesterday, said the idea that Germany might go to war in order to win her colonies back seemed too preposterous to any German to make it necessary for him to discuss it at all. The evidence that common sense and

ANTIMONY SUPPLY

China Still Ahead

PRODUCES 20,000 TONS YEARLY

Nanking (By Mail); Boasting of an annual export of approximately 20,000 tons of antimony, Hunan con... tinues to occupy its paramount position as centre of the. Chinese supply of the ore to the rest of the world.

Estimated at the current market price of $530 for each ton of anti- mony regulus, $430 for each ton of crude antimony and $320 for each ton of antimony oxide, the aggre- gate value of the antimony trade of Hunan would reach a staggering £gure of $10,000,000..

Latest investigation reveals that the annual world industrial cou- sumption of antimony is 24,000 tons while the world production of the ore a roughly 25,000 tons. Of this, China shares approximately 70 per cent of the world's output. Hunan, in return, oceuples 90 per cent of China's total annual production of antimony.

."

FOREIGN EXPORTS Hunan's annual antimony export to the United States is between Ave and six thousand tons; to Eng- land, between four and five thou- sand; to Germany, more than three thousand; and Ave thousand tons sach to such countries as Japan, France, Holland, and Sweden. An- timony regulus covers nine-tenths of the total export, the remaining being crude and oxide.

Besides being used in the manu facture of gunpowder, almost, 89 per cent. of the antimony is used in other industries.

But uniting with certain chemicals in forming compounds, the metal is employed mostly in making type metal be- cause It expands upon solidifica tion, makes good castings, and also

adds hardness.
