“THE TRUTH WILL
Buy Bonds!
Oregon leads the nation in the sale of important E
bonds and it is hoped that the defense pledge campaign
now being conducted will reach a high degree of suc­
cess, setting a goal for the rest of the states to aim at
in their pledge campaigns soon to be launched.
Henry Morgenthau Jr. emphasized the importance
of this drive in his recent address to the people of
Oregon,
. Its success in Oregon and in the whole
United States is indispensable to our victory in the
battle to preserve, protect and defend our democratic
way of life. America must not only enlist men and
machines, but immense sums of money to win.”
The purchase of bonds and savings stamps is doub­
ly important, for the money not only provides funds to
finance the war and hasten victory, but it also is an TALENT NEWS

Declaration of war quickly brought an end to the
49th state agitation and rightly so. However, the prob­
lem of undeveloped resources which led to that wild
scheme cannot be so easily dismissed.
In spite of the government’s need for chrome, a
strategic mineral which is largely imported from the
Philippines, New Caledonia, Turkey and Rhodesia,
there seems to have been no move towards the devel­
opment of chrome deposits in southern Oregon and
northern California.
The Oregon Journal tells of one Curry county own­
er who has informed them of the presence of 100,000
tons of chrome ore on his place testing from 46 to 53
