Germany is trying harder than ever to utilize her own source of low grade iron ore lo meet the new deficiency. In two or three years she should be able to add about 7,000,000 tons to her annual output through the con- struction of new Iron works designed especially for smelting low grade ore. She would still, however, be short of about 3,000.com
Scrious War Problem
Oil is one of Germany's most scrl- war problems. Tho hostilities have not greatly interfered with Germany's sources of fuel oll but they have doubted potential require- ments.
German military experts have estimated that 12,000,000 tons of oil --some estimates are higher--will be needed to supply the Reich in war time. To-day, Germany can provide Jess than 30 per cent of that amount i from her own resources.
By intensifying her efforts, Ger- many can' recover more than 3,000,- 000 tens of benzine from her vesti coal supplies this year, and next year probably will increase the amount to 4,000,000 tons. Oll well Sourcex amount to only about 600,000 tons yearly..

Neutral ex- perts have estimated that only about half of it could be brought into the Relch by way of the Danube River.
