GOOD TO THE LAST DROP
The next thing to save is household cook-
ing fats.
During July, each housewife will be asked
to keep every drop of fat available, keep it
until she has at least a pound, and then turn
it in at a meat or food store.
The reasc.i: quantities of glycerine are
needed for explosives. Glycerine is made
from fats. Most of our fats and oils have
been imported from the Far East. But, it is
estimated, two billion pounds of cooking fats
are ordinarily thrown away each year. If
those two billion pounds can be collected, our
glycerine problems will be solved.
Every kitchen can aid in this phase of the
war program. You may even be paid a cent
a pound or so for the fats turned in, but
that’s beside the point. If fats are needed
for explosives, every woman will want to
turn in every last drop.
WASTERS.....»o-ap
Our nation is attempting to disprove the old
theory that people can’t live off of their own fat. |
Having been cut off from our source of supply j
for many of the materials vital to war production, j
we are trying to feed the hungry machines of war j
by picking up the scrap which spilled over from,
our lavish peace-time tables.
We can no longer obtain rubber from our form-
er 10,000 mile away source of supply, so we are
gathering it up from our own backyards.
We can no longer get fats and oils from the
Far East, so we are collecting them from the
kitchens of American horaei
We are unable to dig iron out of the earth fast
enough to quench war’s thirst for steel, so we are
amassing quantities of it from the scrap piles on
top of the earth.
It seems to be pro-ring fortunate that we have
been the world’s greatest nation of wasters. It it
had been otherwise—if we had been too thrifty
with materials in the past—many of our war
production machines would now be on the verge
of starvation.

BUNGLING.....re.pon.ibility
I’ll be glad to agree with anybody who says|
there has been an enormous amount of bungling!
by government officials in getting the scrap in |
and in handling rationing.
But no matter how much of a mess the officials j
make of it. that is no excuse whatsoever for us to,
relax in doing our part.
We know our country must havq rubber. We
know it can’t get rubber from foreign sources orj
through synthetic processes in time to fill war j
needs, let alone civilian needs. The only pos-
sibility of coming close to filling our war needs,
is for' us to turn in millions of tons of the rubber ,
we have in our homes.
The plan for trying to get this scrap rubber in;
between June 15 and June 30 can compete with'

V Plan For Conquut
(Editor’s Note: Mr. Hull’s ar-
ticle is unavoidably omitted this
week and the following release
was prepared by a guest column-
ist.)
According to the National Geo-
graphic society, more than a bil-
lion people and more than a quar-
ter of the earth’s surface would
be dominated by Japan if tha
nation’s dream of a reported
"Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity
Sphere” came true. It is report
: ed thut recently a map describing
this "sphere” had fallen into the
hands of the Chinese government.
A Chungking dispatch describes
the map as covering Russia’s
share of Sakhalin is-land, the Asia
mainland to and including Iran in
the south, and Siberia to the
Urals in the north; the northern
tip of Australia; and all the is-
lands of Southwest Pacific. Ha-
waii was stated to have been
specifically omitted from the pro-
posed Japanese-controlled sphere.
To bring such a chart to reality,
the Japanese would have to estab-
lish domination over practically
| all the kinds of terrain the world
offers, as well as most of the
races of the human family.
The regions concerned vary
from the vast desert stretches
from the “Dead Heart of Asia”
to the humid jungles of British
Malaya, from the Artie wastes of
the Siberian tundra and lonely
plateaus of Tibet’s "Lost Horizon”
land, to the busy oil-soaked flats
of Iran. They contain some of
the most fertile and the most des-
olate areas on earth; the highest
mountains and the deepest seas;
the wettest spots in the world,
and some of the coldest and the
hottest weather known to man.

NEW |YORK............
Rural America, all figures show, is doing a much
better job in getting in the scrap than are the peo-
ple of the cities.
One reason for that is that country people have
more scrap—hut the chief reason is that country
people are better Americans than a lot of metro-
politanites. In the cities the people do a lot of
patriotic shouting, hut in the country there is
much more patriotic acting. .
The states of New York and Pennsylvania were production! lines,
probably the most anxious to get into this war be-
fore it started. The states of Kansas and Mon-
tana were among the anti-war leaders. But now
that we are in the war and the future of our
country is at stake, it’s those isloationist states
which are really1 doing a job and the "big-talk”
cities are merely talking louder.
As I write this column, the latest scrap figures
how that the people of Kansas have turned in 20
imes as much ruhber per person as the people of
Vew York, and the people of Montana (isolation
st Wheeler’s state) have turned in 80 times as
nucih per person as the people of Pennsylvania.
If the figures were broken down further, they

Salvage Drive For Tin
Cans, Oils Is Begun
WASHINGTON, July 6.—On
the heels.of the fast-fading rub-
ber drive, Untie Sam reached in-
to the American home with two
new salvage campaigns today—
one to collect tin cans, the other
to gather household fats and oils.
In the next twelve months, the
War Production Board’s bureau
of industrial conservation hopes
to obtain 500,000 tons of tin cans
and more than 500,000,000
pounds of wasted cooking fats
from the housewife’s kitchen.
The nation-wide scrap-rubber
campaign, which brought forth
219,000 tons of rubber in the
first two weeks, closes at mid-
night, today. With considerable
improvement reported in contri-
butions from the heavily populat-
ed East Coast area, officials hope
to pass the 300,000 ton mark.
Petroleum Industry War Coun-
cil representatives announced
over the week end that the flow
of scrap rubber already has
started from collection depots
and oil company bulk plants to
the reclaiming factories and gov-
ernment warehouses.
Chairman of the council, Wil-
liam R. Boyd, Jr., appealed to the
public! to redouble its effort} and
urged a half-day holiday for
everyone except war workers, to
speed the drive.
