Mexico. - Scrap steel needs-of the Mexico City plant are obtained locally, with much of the supply coming from the fabricating departments of that plant. The copper purchased for the plant originates from Mexican ore, which is refined in the United States and returned in ingot form to Mexico City duty free. Other raw materials are procured by purchase locally and from sources from within the United States. The electric furnaces in the company's Mexico City plant operate exclusively with scrap purchased locally, crop end of ingots shipped from the company's Piedras Negras plant and scrap produced in the fabricating plants of the company. In Mexico due to the low level' prevailing for many years in expenditures for capital purposes and for necessary repairs, the company believes that there is accumulated a large potential demand for -con¬ struction materials and equipment. During the war years,-when the country was to a large measui'e cut off from its European and American suppliers of industrial products, steps were taken looking toward the expansion of Mex'co's industrial,economy. As the country becomes freed from wartime inability to obtain the' necessary equipment, tech¬ nical help and caoital, the process of industrialization should be .been 7 —i ... — NOTE—All Piedras Negras, the company its open heart plant at in materially accelerated. ! * 8,219 • ..

In discussing further Wabash plans for photoflash ' production, Mr. Parker pointed to the phenomenal growth of the photoflash industry in the past ten years, stating that photoflash use had climbed from 440,000 flashbulbs in 1930 to an estimated 33,000,000 in 1941, last peacetime year. Mr. Parker predicted that sales throughout the industry during 1946 would shatter all previous records, with con¬ sumption of 60,000,000 flashbulbs easily attainable through the tre¬ mendously increased popularity of photography as a national hobby, and the impetus provided by introduction of popular-priced flashbulbs and correspondingly low-priced flash cameras for amateur home use.

Other services from Manila to Cebu, Surigao, Del Monte and Davao, and from Manila to Zamboanga, via Dumaguete and Dipolog, with a connecting service between Zamboanga and Davao, were approved but the outbreak of war prevented their being flown. Application for further service over a pro¬ posed route from Baguio along the northern coast line to Aparri has been held In abeyance pending procurement of equipment and per¬ sonnel.
