Mr. Stanbury, salvage organizer of the Maritimes, in his address here on Friday night cleared up many points on which there was misunderstanding; but appar- ently therc is still much con fusion The \Vinnipeg Free Press cites, for instance, an advertisement which appeared not long agq in the newspapers of Canada. “Anny Salvage for Sale" was the heading, and the advertisement went on to say that every Military District had quantities of salvage, including scrap metal: “Address all en- quiries to the Chairman, Army Salvage and Dis- posal Board, Cartier Square, Ottawa." This, says the Free Press, appears to many people to be departmeritiilism run msd. It is easy to see the reason for it. The army knows it is spending millions of public money. It feels it has I duty therefore to get as much for its salvage as possible. To do this i special army depart- ment has been set up, organized from and cen- tralized in Ottawa, though the salvage itself is spread out over the 3,500 miles of Canada, Does this seem like an efficient way of working things out? We doubt it. How long will it take for thoie interested in buying lglvlgg gq ‘wit; g9 Ottawa, to get a reply to inspect the salvage, to put 1'11 l hid. to wait for further reply?

The milk was spillcrl as the cow “kicked tile bucket." u What we have to fear molt in the Spring Hun offensive is the risk we run of losing control of the oil fields. If you take the region of the Cau- casus, Persia and Iraq -—the Middle East with the Caucasus on its flank—you will find that the annual production of oil in that region is between 40,000,000 and 50,000,000 tom a year. If Hit- ler could only secure control of that region, he would be able to sit down, so far as oil is con- cerned, and carry on the war for an indefinite period of time. u u a a . “Take esre of the cents" says the popular pro- verb, ‘and the dollars will take care of them- selves.’ Acting on the excellent advice of this old saw, the British Civil Service authorities have dc- cided to open i Whitehall economy campaign by issuing an order that civil servants‘ pencils hence- forth must be kept blunt.

The increasing Japanese thrush in the Par East are dail menacing fresh areas where plan tlon rub- ber is grown, and, while there has already been much talk of the necessity of conserving supplies of raw rubber. rubber manufacturers have long been concerned about the less obvious (to the layman) but extremely important question of scrap. Three first elm ‘ ’ pendent i-ecislmin plants were in opera- tion in country before the war. ind the question of adequate sup- plies of scrap is of high importance o them and to others who are already or who may be operating B "independent? plants is meant pants independent of control by any rubber manufacturing com- pany, for surprisingly few users of reclaimed rubber have shown practical interest in reclaiming heir own waste. In peacetime there companies preferred to sell such waste to scrap merchants or to have it reclaimed and returned lo the-m. Such reclaim as is made by a few rubber manufacturing 00n- csriu is not of the same high qual- lt as that of the established re- caimers, because ii li productlo of first quality reels involves n. heavy expenditure on plan-t. F01’ the average manufacturer this is not ni economical proposition. A further explanation is that British manufacturers are less 11 forested in reclaim than their fellows in the United States, where consistently higher proportions of reclaimed rubber to‘ new rubber are em- ployed. Irrdeed. in certain branches of British manufacture. such as cable-making, reclaimed rubber ls bsrelv tolerated. It is inadvisable under war conditions to disclose the British output of reclaims, but it is capable of much wider ex- pansion, and steps have already been taken in this direct-ion. Re- claimed rubber. of course, has to be combined with natural rubber. whose supplies set a limit on the expansion of the reclaiming 1n- dustry. The process of reclaiming rub- ber is broadly the same in all countries urere it is carried on. Naturally enough. it ls a mass- productlon job. Were this not the case reclaimed rubber would hardly have survived the slump years of 1931 11nd 1932. Discarded tires, which easily form the bulk of the scrap used, are first sorted. They are then stripped oi’ wire fn s de- beadln machine and chopped by large ives into sections.

The rubber after this stage is trite reclaim. It ls washed, dried, passed through fine 5Cf8€Ils to re- move further impurities, and still further "refined" on tight rollers, finally being tested and bagged. The same process is applied to other types of waste rubber, with slight variations according to the nature of the scrap. 'Il-e collection of waste rubber in recent years has never been on ii properly organized footing. To- day the salvaging of all such waste is a. national necessity, and as much importance should be at- taclieel to it as to the salvaging of metal, paper, etc. By all the most effectipe means of propaganda the public shiuld be invited to collect waste tires and tubes from auto- mobiles and cycles. old rubber shOes of all types, hose, old hot- water bottles. play balls, bailllgg the vote" thus becomes clear. and this time there are no candidates to serve as rallying points, no party organizations with offices and funds and ii keen interest in the balloting. This bclnir the case. and t-lie issue being of such tremendous import- ance to the security and future oi this country. steps should. be taken in every community to iicouaint. the people with the facts and to ber- susde the people to mark their bai- lots.
