Despite it* wide and confusing fluctuations, it presents an en couraging picture la Moat respects with higher total and pas* capita oeasvaeption now than la tba 1920a. We have baaa stable to locate flgwee friar to 1929 hot, Judging by other laad eoaawftloa figures, wo believe that 1929 represents the larfoat or aaarly tba largest ecnsusptlcn la tba 1920a. Tbla waa a llttla trader 10,000 torn par year or abort 0.1b lb. par capita, This waa followed by a rtacp dsellm la tba depression and a ataapar laoraaao at tbo beginning of the war, probably dua to ooara and inventory biylng. Fallow lap waa a aharp daellm, probably resulting both tram tba hoary aarliar bgrlai and wer-tlw conditions and raatrlctiom. There waa soother aharp lacrosse at tbo beglmlf^ of tbo Korean war, follored a aharp daellm probably to waste off Inventories and then an all-tlw pack ooneuaptlen of orar 21,000 tom la tbo boaa year 1955, followed by onotbar daellm. Tba last fsw years show a aodarata dowward tread to loot trader 16,000 toes or 0.17 lb. par capita ostlaatad In 1963, colored with Just tndtr 10,000 torn and 0.16 lb. par oaplta In 1929.

Ibis ertiwte would bring 1963 s o msuwptloo up to marly 21,000 tone or 0.23 lb. par oaplta. Another factor oust be considered to put tba picture In Its tree light. Inports of china froa Japan aad Europe hare Increased treasedously In tbo last fsw years. Because of lower eosta abroad, sows Amriean china aanafacturars are even haring their aw patterns nods In other eotratries and ore aalllng thaa bare. Tbua tba laad contact of oareade prodaeta actually cold In tbs Balled Otatea la still higher than tba figures quoted above. This all adds up to tba fact that tbs omrmie Market Is a growing Mar ket for laad however ooe looks at It. Old products Ilka wfeltewee base Maintained tbalr use of laad aren after trying to gat along without It during tba war. The asm la true of pleas but the uee of laad-bearing glaaeao, Ilka electrloal, radiation shielding, and solder pleasee, la grew lag.

In nacy lnetancae, these new and nyitii^ appli cation* arc comparatively Mali, perhaps $00 tons of laad a jeer at tat because at tba gramt variety of oaraale products la tbs aggragrts tbap to Interesting At least two saw potenttally alaaMs aarkete rsanIn to ba developed -- low firing Mrnlc bodies ciontelKing load and low-firing lsartsd poroalala an--1 a for steel. Both of thas* objectives seen to haws a reasonable pos sibility of sttalrwant and would further swell tbs solan* at land need by tbs osranic industries by substantial tonnages.
