Steady progress in the Philippines in the development of basic metal industries has stirred worldwide Interest which has been. sharpened in recent weeks as the Sino-Japanese warfare made strategical metals of vital concern to Far Eastern and other govern- ments, writes a "Manila Bulletin" correspondent.

· Expansion in Philippine shipments of chromalte, manganese and iron ore, and exploration for high-grade copper ore has for the moment overshadowed the earlier intense interest in the gold production which the Philippines developed in the last five years.

Gold mining in the Philippines had a historical background and there was nothing extraordinary in its steady increase after depression conditions had caused the United States and other coun- tries to appreciate the price of the yellow metal.

This correspondent talked informally with various metals trade authorities here and found that the current interest in the Philippines production has not yet crystallized into..fixed ideas as to the policy of the United States toward the basic metais industries.
