A Link With Old Tahiti

Another factor is the montan wax being produced in Germany from brown coal; and CSIRO says this is equal in quality to carnauba wax and superior to cane-wax, and the price is competitive.

A small amount of cane-wax is being produced on an experimental basis in Jamaica—probably the only other British extraction plant in the world.

A spokesman for CSR Co. Ltd. said that wax extraction had been studied, but that company would not be interested unless big-scale operations were practicable. The industry was more likely to interest the small, individually-owned mills.

On the basis of these inquiries, Mr. Low’s forecast appears some what optimistic.
