Use of Tin Cut.

The article focuses on the restriction on the use of tin products imposed by the Office of Production Management (OPM) in the U.S. The U.S. uses two-thirds of the world's tin production most of which is imported from war-torn East Asia. As stated, the OPM has produced a list of 29 items in which consumption of the metal is halved for the first quarter of 1942 and it is believed that the elimination of such uses of tin will result in an annual saving of 15,000 tons.
