...Lord Rothermere retired as chairman of Associated Newspapers, Ltd., turned the management of his properties over to young Esmond. Three years ago he gave up business completely. Last spring the man who took Northcliffe's place as Britain's Press Peer No. 1-gnomelike little Baron Beaverbrook, publisher of the mammoth London Daily Express, Minister of Aircraft Production-took Rothermere out of retirement, sent him to Canada and the U.

S. last winter, contracted with Phelps Dodge Corp. to supply tin for its new experimental smelter (TIME, Dec. 11). Meanwhile American Metal Co. Ltd. and American Smelting and Refining Co. also built pilot plants, and learned how to process Bolivian ore (which is high-cost, low-grade) with no admixture of Malayan. By last week it was pretty clear that, besides accumulating a 75,000-ton stockpile of smelted tin, the U. S. must be prepared...
