white American citizens toward
the negro has "some of the un
lovely and tragic characteristics
of alien imperialism."
"You have been sorely tried

Tabloid Food Is Good
"Three Squares" Better
By JOHN B.LEWIS
NEW YORK, July 20 (P) The
army's now ration "K," a tabloid
fond supply developed to feed
fighting mon In tho Hold, doesn't
ineiisuro up to stcuk and on
ions but It does tho Job.
After n day's "guinea pig" ex
periment under army auspices, I
feel certain Hint every soldier
will bo better fed, In tho emer
gencies when ho must resort to
ration "K," than most civilian
workers who snntch their meals.
' Tho day's rations consist of
threo compact packages of con
centrated fond with enough cal
ories nnd vitamins to keep a sol
dier fit.
For breakfast, I had a package
each of defansa blsculls and
compressed grahnm biscuits, one
can of vcnl, n pnekago of malted
milk dcxlroso tablets, two pack
ages of soluble coffee, three tab
lets of sugnr and a slick of chew
ing gum.
It was too much I passed up
tho incnt nnd put some of tho
biscuits In .my pockets to nibble
on on tho wny to work,
I alo lunch at my desk. Tha
biscuits wore the same as at
breakfast, and the meal was a
flat sausage. I passed up a tube
of bouillon which would have
made a pint of soup but chewed
away on dextrose tablets and a
.stick of chewing gum to cut
down thirst.
For dinner, after mowing the
lawn, I dived Into the supper
carton and cntno up with a very
dark sausage, the usual biscuits,
a largo bar of chocolate, three
lumps of sugar, a package of
lemon juice powder thnt made
excellent lemonade, and gum,
That ended the experiment
but
Passing tho Icebox about 10:30
p. m I slopped for a snack a
chicken wing, a bowl of pickled
beets, a slice of cold cooked liv
er and a dish of tapioca then
straggled off to bed wishing I
hadn't.
My reaction was that tho fond
value In ration "K" Is more than
ample it contains-3720 calorics
or 72e more than the average
man requires in a day but' that
It doesn't fill up the space like
the usual "three squares." '

How can you help? Tho answer is on this page. I hope
every American citizen will read it and act on it.
0. B. NnSON. CHAItUAN, WAI KODUCTION IOU0
A crisis exists in our war production program which can
be solved only by the patriotic cooperation of the
American people.
We are faced with a serious shortage of steel scrap,
rubber and other vital materials.
This shortage must be filled.
By "scrap" we mean the ordinary Junk which today is
lying in the barnyards and in the gullies of farms; in the
basements, attics and garages of homes and stores
throughout the country.
The steel industry operates on the basis of half-and-half
about SO per cent metal from pig iron and 50
per cent remelted scrap metal.
Therefore, about SO per cent of every tank', every
ship, every submarine and every gun is made of scrap
iron and steel.
The steel industry has been rapidly stepping up its.
production from 67,000,000 tons in 1940 to a record
breaking 83,000,000 tons in 1941. Production in 1942
is already ahead of 1941, but we need to get production
up to the industry's full capacity of 90,000,000 tons a
total equal to the output of theTest of the world combined.
This volume of production cannot be attained or in
creased unless an additional 6,000,000 tons of scrap iron
and steel is obtained promptly.
We arc faced with the fact that some steel furnaces
have been allowed to cool down and that many of them
are operating from day to day and hand to mouth, due
only to the lack of scrap.
The rubber situation is also critical. In spite of the
recent rubber drive, there is a continuing need for large
quantities of scrap rubber.
We are collecting every possible pound of scrap from
the factories, arsenals and shipyards; we are speeding up
the flow of material from automobile graveyards; we
are tearing up abandonedTailroad tracks and bridges,
but unless we dig out an additional 6,000,000 tons of
steel and great quantities of rubber, copper, brass, zinc
and tin, our boys may not get all the fighting weapons
they need in time.
Fortunately, the material exists in America's great
Vmine above the ground."
There is enough iron and steel on farms alone, if used
with other materials, to make:
Twice as many battleships as there
are in the whole world today, or -
' Enough 2000-pound bombs fo drop
three per minute from big bombers
incessantly for more than three years.
f Locating and collecting this scrap is going to require a
canvass of every house and every farm. Even one old
shovel will help make 4 hand grenades.
We have set up the machinery for this, but it is not
perfect. It is a problem that can be licked only by
American resourcefulness, American organization ability,
American muscle and American will to win. .
We now have in every state a State Salvage Committee
of volunteers working directly under the governor:
Under these state committees we have county com
mittees and local committees. We have special industrial
committees working with executives of plants in 421
industrial centers.
In rural communities we have the County War Boards.
These committees can tell you the quickest way to
get your Junk into action. ,
In behalf of the governor and the state committee
we urge every committee to organize itself , into a band
of "Salvage Commandos."
You can either sell your scrap to a Junk dealer or you
can give it to a -charity, which in turn will sell it to a
Junk dealer who performs an important function by
sorting it, .grading it, packing it and shipping it to the
right place.
We urge local charities and civic organizations
to cooperate with the Local Salvage Committee and
devise a plan of action and collection.
We urge the scrap dealer to cooperate as fast as he
can in the collection and shipment of materials.
We urge industrial executives to appoint Salvage
Managers who have both the responsibility and authority
to salvage obsolete machinery, tools and dies.
We urge every farmer and every householder in
America to act at once.
Go over your premises with a fine tooth comb. If you
have already turned in your scrap, look again you'll
probably find more.
If you do not have enough of your own to warrant
someone coming after it, form a neighborhood pool, or
take it yourself to the nearest collection point.
If there is an old heater or boiler in your basement too
heavy for you to move, get your neighbors to help you.
This is a People's job. It is something you can do with
out interfering with other war work or personal duties.
It is not enough to pile up a little stuff and expect
somebody to come and get it. Most of the work is being
done by patriotic volunteers with inadequate facilities.
They need your help in collecting scrap material in the
largest possible amounts and in getting it to the right
place.
It is a direct and personal obligation to all of our
boys on all fronts.
You may think, "My little bit" won't help, but
your "little bit" multiplied thousands and millions
of times can create a mountain of raw material which
can actually turn the tide.
The situation is serious. Your help is needed now.
HOW SCRAP IRON AND STEEL GO TO WAR
The steel used in our war machines is made by melting
together
1. Pig iron (about 50)
2. Scrap generated in the steel plant In tha
process of steelmaking (about 2S)
3. Scrap purchased from outside Junk sources
(about 25)
We have plenty of iron ore to make the pig Iron needed.
But our furnaces operate faster when there is plenty of Scrap
to mix with the pig iron.
This so-called "scrap" which goes into the furnaces to)
make the steel for tanks, ships and guns is actually refined '
steel with most impurities removed. Some of the finest
quality steels are made 100 from scrap.
The iron and steel scrap which you collect is bought by I
the steel mills from scrap dealers at established governmental
controlled prices.
