EFFECT ON BRITAIN
LOST MALAYAN EXPORTS RUBBER AND TIN FOR U.S. (Reed. Jan. 12, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 11. The New York Times’ correspondent in Washington says the interruption of Malayan exports of rubber and tin by Japanese hostilities is likely to seriously affect the British balance of payments with the United States, thus increasing the burden on lend-or-lease funds. Normally, the United States imported £50,000,000 worth, of rubber and tin annually from the British "’Far East sources. In 1940, because of the war, this had risen to £75,000,000. „ The use of lead in golf clubs, coffins, saddles, badges, emblems, toys and boat keels has been banned after April 4. Until then the use of lead has been restricted 50 per cent.
