 GERMAN pOTASH
Industry to Supply Needs of Nation Is Set Up
 in California

For the first time in it's histofy, the United States will be able hto meet all present domestic demands for potash without the need of i'm portations from Germany and other War-torn countries, as the result of plans for leasing 6,340 acres of pub lie land in California for the pro- duction of this valuable fertilizer ingredient, Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes has been advised by Commissioner Fred w. Johnson of the General Land Office. H
 With arrangements made fofaeas- ing of the land at public auction to be held in the District Land Office at Sacramento, California, October l9, six units of potash-bear- ing areas of the public domain in Searles Lake, near Truno, San Bernardino County, will be offered for development under the program of the Department of the Interior for prudent use of the nations natural resources
 Million Dollar Enterprise
 Under the terms of the sale, the successful bidders will be required to devote at least $750,000 to the development and production of the potash supply on the California pub lie land tracts, expending $50,000 on each of three units and $200,O00 on each of the other three portions offered for lease.
 Government experts estimate that these new operations supplementing the present output from the public lands, will produce supply of pot ash sufficient to meet all present domestic demands, B per cent of which formerly was taken care of by importations from Germany, Spain and other countries.
 Development of potash production in the United States to the point where, in 1888, it amounted to 534,- 945 short tons constitutes a signifi- cant advancement in scientific re- search and experimentation during the period following the last World War
 German Supply Originally
 Prior to 1917, practically all pot ash used in the United States came from Germany, which contained the only known commercial deposits of the fertilizer ingredient. With the curtailment of this supply during the World War. research was under taken to discover and develop ade- quate supplies of the mineral in the United States, with efforts at first centered around the manufacture of the product from kelp form of sea weed, on the Pacific Coast.n,,s st Subsequently, it was found ithat

 Force of habit will explain why people heard to say that if we wish to know what Hitler is going to do next need only read his book.
 But if the study of "Mein Kampf" is indispensable for judging the of Naz policy, it fairly obvious that Hitler himself has not read his book very carefully That his main objective is the aggrandze ment of Germany goes without saying That he would like to grab all of Europe he could and outside too is obvious Beyond that it is hard to say Even the larger outlines of his strategy have wavered In the earlier "Men Kampf" the great enemy was France. In the later versons the enemy became Russia. That little Moscow arrangement came as a shock to most people. It must have been particularly unexpected to a reader fresh from "AIein Kampf"

potash could be made commercially available from deposits contained in the ancient bed of Searles Lake, in California, and large deposits were discovered at Carlsbad, New Mexico, through oil well drilling experimentation. Commercial devel- opment of these areas by private companies was undertaken with the result that, last year, 67 per cent of the nations supply of potash was furnished from these sources.
 With European war conditions again threatening to curtail impor- tation of the product, lease of the potash-bearing public land in Cali fornia was decided upon by Secre- tary 1ckes not only to insure ade- quate stocks for the nations agri- cultural and chemical needs, but also as a means to protect the gov ernment's reserves from depletion through drainage by' private opera tions.
