METALS FOR ARMAMENTS
NEW CALEDONIAN CONCESSIONS (By Telegraph—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Monday Concessions leased to Japanese and German firms to mine chromium and nickel ores in New Caledonia, a French possession, permit, these countries to export a considerable quantity of these necessary auxiliaries for re-armament. This was stressed to-day by Major F. Cushion, consulting engineer, who has been continually employed in touring the world inspecting chromium mines in the last two years. He said the Germans had taken 50,000 tons of ores and Japan 30,000 tons. u The Japanese also were exploiting the iron deposits there, and last month exported 25.000 tons. “ It seems strange that so much of these ores should go to Japan and Germany as things are to-day, but France can scarcely cancel the concessions unless there is war.”
