As a
suffering
of growing pains that the state’s continued all out participation in the
effort is seriously threatened,
practical steps are’ speedily
taken to relieve the situation!
Boiled down that is
what the Senaite Committee on E2onomic Planning—-composed of AttorGeneral Robert W. Kenny and
Congressman John Phillips, both former the state senate—
has reported to the legislature after
exhaustive situdy.
without any national shortages of food, labor, goods and transport, reports the committee, it would
have been extremely ~ difficult for
California to adjust its economy to
serve the needs of so many new peotwo-and one-half years. And
with rationing, priorities, price ceilings, the rubber shortage and dimouts, the job has become almost impossible.
The committee issues a_ stern
warning that California even witth a
normal farm labor supply, could not
produce enough farm products. to
take care of the 50 per cent increase
in the state’s food consumption, and

the government’s quota for lendlease and the army. And it emphasises that California farm labor has
been drained away by the military
services and by war factories and
that California farmers can’t get desperately needed equipment. The federal government;--says the committee, simply must take steps to assure farmers their essential manpower and equipment, if chaos is to be
averted.
The most ominous news on the
transportation front, reports the committee is the delay in the synthetic
rubber program of the federal government. Highway carriers, in California, it finds, handle two thirds of
the total value of intra-state freight
business—and California railroads,
with the present abnormal demands
for trains for movement of troops
and military equipment in _ interstate commerce, can’t fill the gap if
truck facilities fail for lack of tires.
This problem, too, is aggravated, the
committee reports, by the fact that

ing unknown, New Guinea is the
largest island in the world, if we
choose to consider Greenland and
Australia as continents. It is about

“As an important battle area, these
largely unsurveyed regions are destined to be developed under the
aegis of the United Nations, and their
commercial future seems assured by
virtue of vast natural resources. The
gold deposits alone have gained considerable attention.
“To think of New Guinea as a little place off the coast of Australia inhabited only by fuzzy headed cannibals is to have a poor conception of
the island. One of the next major developments by white men will be
there.”’
Here’s the Way to Get

Here’s the procedure for getting
rubber boots for farm use:
Apply for a purchase certificate

in the United States—stuff so vital
to the war that its continued absence
will directly affect production of
guns, planes, ships, and tanks—has
‘gone A.W.O.L.
This much-wanteéd metal is hiding
out in all sorts of places. Some of it
isn’t even hiding; it is standing
boldly in folks’ back yards. Wherever it is, its war value i is so great
that Washington is issuing a nationwide appeal for its round-up.
In line with the War Production
Board policy that any object that
can be used in war production should
not be strapped, all persons are
urged to be on the lookout for metal
cylinders such as those shown above.
It is by means of these cylinders,
loaded with oxygen or acetylene
gases, that oxy-acetylene welding
and cutting in war plants throughout the nation is being done. Without
them high-speed fabrication of fighting equipment would be slowed up,
and their mahufacturers cannot get
steel to replace the thousands of containers now missing.
Cylinders such as these have been
used for years by industries and
businesses — machine shops, auto

service stations, and the like. Businesses change hands, and often the
new owners have hed no use for this
type of equipment. The result is that
the cylinders have been thrown
aside, stacked up in cellars, left on
construction jobs, hauled off to town
dumps. Some of them are now in use
as fences or gate posts. Some form
borders for flower beds. Some are in
the town scrap piles.
“Compressed gases are a vital
part of the war production program,” says Donald Nelson, chairman of the War Production Board.
“This serious shortage of cylinders
will become more acute.as the war
effort increases.”
To get the cylinders back into circulation everyone is urged to be on
the alert for them and, the moment
one is spotted, to turn it over to the
nearest welding shop or manufacturing plant. The man in the shop
or plant will know what to do with it.
In the event that no welding shop or
plant is handy, finders are patriotically urged to write to the Compressed Gas Manufacturers’ Association,
11 West 42nd Street, New York,
N. Y., giving the number and location of the containers, The Association will do the rest.
