METALS PRODUCTION
Increase Sought From South Africa NEW YORK, March 5.

Officials hope it will be possible to induce South Africa to reduce her production of gold and employ the machinery and labour rather on obtaining vital war metals, for which Washington is reported to be prepared to pay an amount equivalent to the present purchase of gold.
