TIN SCRAP EMBARGO
NO LICENCE FOR EXPORT HEAVY LOSS TO FIRMS [ Per Presa Association.] AUCKLAND, Feb. 21. Tin scrap, previously valued at £7 a ton, is being dumped in Auckland for the reason that a licence for export cannot be obtained and nothing can be done with it. It is estimated that the loss daily is at least £3O and it is reported that as a result of the embargo one firm is losing £3OOO a year on waste products. There is a ready market in Britain, Germany, and Japan for scrap tin, which is treated and rolled into tin sheet.
