Stay on Fundamentals
SOME folks close at hand should take to heart what
Paul Mallon said to the man who wrote he didn't
like government policy or the British and isnt buying
war bonds, even though he has a boy in the service. Mr.
Mallon advised the complainant he had better buy bonds
to help finance the purchase of equipment which would
make his son safer.
:. Hereabouts, we hear the excuse offered that people
do not buy bonds because they don't like the Japanese
reception center at Tulslake, Thy don't tha way
the center is operated, they don't like the freedom re
portedly granted the internees, and they don't like some
other things down there, so they won't buy bonds.
If this is the real reasoning, how shallow it is!. If
they don't like the Japanese, and presumably that's why
they don't like the Jap center, they had better buy bonds!
If they think there are internees there who want to see
Japan, win the war, they had better buy bonds to help
make certain their disappointment.
: " . Don't get us wrong. Any American citizen has a right
to' object as loudly as he wishes to some government policy
which he believes unsound. If people here do not like the
way the Japanese center is
criticism as they wish. But they should not permit their
feelings on that matter to influence their support of their
government and our men in the service. There is some
thing definitely contradictory and inconsistent in that
attitude. .

Dewey has long seemed to be

The popular Lehman only beat

of nearly 4,700,000 votes cast).

Experts Review America's
No. 7 Problem: Rubber,
How Much We Have, Need
(Editor's Note: From the mo
ment of Pearl Harbor, rubber
became a No. 1 problem on the
home front Passing months have
piled up confusion with claims,
denials and accusations. Wide
World business writers James
Marlow and William Pinkerton
have waded through the evi
dence and, beginning today, de
vote some of their attention to
concise explanation of what has
happened and where we are.)
By JAMES MARLOW and
WILLIAM PINKERTON
WASHINGTON. Aug. 24
(Wide World) America's stock
of rubber is shrinking by the
minute but how long it will con
tinue to shrink is considered a
military secret.
The demands of America's mo
torized army are great, in spite
of the substitution of metal for
rubber treads on tanks, the re
duction 01 tne rubber in army
raincoats and the thinning of
rubber coating on machinery.
How much rubber has Amer
ica? Not more than 700,000 tons,
probably less. This does not in
clude scrap rubber, the junk
heap material that can be re
claimed and used again for some
purposes.
The rubber industry has esti
mated that our reclaiming plants
are capable of turning out 350,-
000 tons a year. That does not in
clude synthetic rubber but the
amount of synthetic coming from
our plants now building is hard
ly worth considering, perhaps
31,000 tons this year.
In the year before Pearl Har
bor the biggest rubber year in
history we used 766,000 tons of
basic, crude rubber for all pur
poses, including girdles, suspen
ders, overshoes, hot water bot
tles and, particularly, automo
biles. 800,000 Tons Nded
June estimates said 800.000
tons of rubber were needed to
carry the army and navy through
tne rest or 1B4Z and 1943 but
this Includes lend-lease rubber
for the military needs of our al
lies, almost entirely dependent
upon our rubber stocks.
The Japanese, who seized our
East Indian rubber sources, did
not catch us entirely off guard,
for when they struck the 700,000
tons we had on hand was a lot
more than the 90,000 tons of rub-
ular head of the party, Mr. WI1I
kie, could get the democratic
party nomination for president
today much easier than he could
get the republican nomination.
His republican organizational
support around here has almost
entirely fallen away. Only the
Dewey chances are ascending
on tne netner political horizon.

Committee Report
A senate investigating com.
mittce, wJiose chairman is Sena.
tor Truman (D.-Mo.), reported
that the, purchasing committee
was buying for the government
anu tneir own employers at the
same time and that:
During 1940, while they built
up industrial stockpiles to 176
000 tons, they were able to buy
only ,40,000 of the 150,000 tons
which the government had
planned to acquire in 1940.
When Pearl Harbor ended the
purchasing altogether they had
accumulated 277,514 tons of the
government's proposed 430,000
for 1941. From other sources the
total stockpile became around
700,000 tons.
These were reasons given by
the Truman committee for the
failure of the stockpile program:
i. yuota restrictions of the n-
tcrnatlonal rubber rcBulatlon
committee, a British-Dutch com
bine which controlled the great
rubber-producing lands of the
southwest Pacific and hesitated
to increase rubber production to
meet American needs because
they would have meant import
ing labor.
The Truman committee also
charged the combine was afraid
"if tho emergency failed to ma
terialize, excess stocks of rubber
In the United States would en
able the United States to control
market prices."
Ship Failure

advantage. Many ships brought
their rubber cargoes to New
York, which meant only three
trips a year, Instead of leaving
them on the west coast. Dutch
rubber had to wdlt for Dutch
