Japan Cot
 Half of US. Scrap Export

More than 21,500,000 net tons of iron and steel scrap have bsen exported from the United States since January 133 over half of which went to Japan. Scrap is an essential raw material in steel making and it's use permits the cons rvation of approximately double the tonnage in iron ore resources.
 The total tonnage of scrap ex ported since 1883 is more than five times as much as total scrap exports in the first 32 years of this century. Prior to 1900 ex- ports of scrap Wire negligible.
 Both tonnage of scrap exports and their destinations are likely b be affected by the embargo recently placed on scrap exports from this country to all parts of the wor d except to Great Britain and to countries in th,z Western Hemisphere.
 Japan until the middle of this year by far the largest purchas CT of American scrap is the mar ket chiefly affected by the terms of the embargo. Q
 In 1889 Wh-n about four mil los net tons of steel scrap were shipped from this country Japan took 57 per cent of the total. About IA percent went to Great Britain, 12 per cent to Italy and 5 per cent to Canada. With minor variations those nations took ap- proximately the same share of to tai scrap exports in each of the preceding six years.
 In the first five months of 1940 before the war in Europe inten- sifi d Japan still remained the leading consumer of American scrap although by a smaller mar gin.

HITLER'S WORRY

For five months now there have been no new conquestS, no new triumphs to celebrate. In stead British airplanes have dumped almost nightly death over B zrlin, Hamburg and the Ruhr. These, plus their own Straitened circumstances are the chief things the German people have had to think about. On top of them have come two other im- portant dew lopments.
 One was the reelection of Roo sevelt whom Nazi propagandists have played up as the great en- emy of the dictatorS. This pro- paganda has now had reverse ef fleets and the German people, remembering how the United States turned the tide in the last war cannot help but speculate ruefully regarding the prospect of the U s A coming into this war.
 Two has ben the unexpected Italian setback in Greece. Pro- bably not much of this has per- colated through the censor to the German people, but it has to It. ally. Unrest is spreading under ground among the Italian people plus growing resentment against both Hitler and Mussolini.

dsrwent thorough physical ex animation. But although anxious 10 undertake the mission his doc tors forbade it.
 More recently the State De partment has been working on a plan 10 have prominent Frenchman who is close to Mar shal Petain come to the United States on a goodwill mission, This may happen soon.
 However the chief probl-m is to influence not merely Petain who already has veered away from the Axis but so Marshal Weygand. The latter is now in North Africa and the French troops in that area would rise to h;s leadership overnight in any attack upon Italian Libya.
 However, Weygand bitter over his treatment during the last days of the war is sulking. He is not pro-British though not as violent abainst them as the of ficers of the French navy. R. gently certain British emissaries have had confidential talks with General Weygand but with no definite results.

AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC AIM

Al of these factors have been put under the State Department microscope to see what the Unit ed States could do-Short of war to bring greater pessimism to the German and Italian people, give greater strength to Great Britain.
 One possibility was to woo Rus sia, keep her out of the Axis. This was the chief reason for the Oumansky-Sumnsr We'les con- versations. They have partially failed due to the fact that all the United States can offer Russia is machine tools and gasoline, while Hitler can offer India, Per sia, AfghaniStan.
 Another possibility was to stiff fen U s policp against Japan, perhaps by sending ships to Sing apors thus taking over the Brit ish burden of policing the South Pacific. This would have devastat ing repercussions upon the Axis, but Roosevelt considers it risky so it is being held in abeyance.
 Third possibility and the one actively under discussion inside the Statz Department now is to bolster the French forces in North Africa, help bring them in on the side of the British.
 This has tremendous posSibil- ities. For at present General Graziani is begged down in Egg ypt where Mussoiini has b2en sending him peremtory orders to advance on Suez, to which Ora ziani has replied that he will not advance until he has sufficient supplies. So should Graziani be attacked by the French from the Tunis sid and by the British from the Egyptian side it would mean certain defeat a7d probab- v the end of Mussolini.
 Furthermore it Wou d probab- y take Italy out of the war.
 This is the main effort to which Amer.can diplomacy is now dir acted. First step was a plan to send Ger. rsl Pershing old friend of Marshal Petain as Special Ambassador to France. To this end the 80-year-old General un-

U. s. SHIPS TO DAKAR

Another plan which has been considered in Army and Navy circl-S is for the United States to take cognizance of the part which Dakar might play in any attack upon South America.
 The Germans are now develop ing Dakar as a giant air base un- der the protection of the French fleet. This is of vital concern to the United Stat s, Braz:l, Argen tina and the rest of South Am erica. Therefore it has been sug- gested that the United States in stigate joint Pan-American rep resentations follow-d perhaps by a naval disp ay off Daksr in or der to persuade the French fleet to divorce itself from Germany and neutraliZe Dakar.
 This plan does not get much encouragement from the White House and State Department, where it is considered risky. How ever it is one of the many ideas which are being mulled ovcr as a means of bolstering the French singing the North African army behind the British and providing the punch which may tip the bal ance of victory in the war.

It Is Up To Officers To Win Mems Respect
By MORGAN NJ. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON The Army'S dashing into the task of train ing a citizen army with all the reckless abandon of a man walk ing on eggs.
 There's a reason,
 Regular Army officers know that success or failure will res squarely on their shoulders.
 In formal black and white hard-boiled Chief off Staff Geo. rge Marshall has told his com manding officers they're on the spot to provide the kind of lead ership the new men will under stand and follow.
 The establishment and main tenance of high morale and the creation of conditions fostering good morale" says an order from the chief "are among the first and most vital functions of com mand. Every commander is in- structed to give this matter his personal attention"
 And to be certain that's that the Army has created several ne units to prevent the buck from being passed. Among these are the 500-, 1,000- and 2,000- man reception centers curtained oc from the rest of the training camp areas.
 There'll be no sending of green horns after the key to the pow der smoke chest for a laugh.
 Men unfamiliar with military commands, customs and laws are going to get them in kindly way for a solid month. To be ab- solutely sure thy understand, the.r failures al first wi some tins be overlooked, ofter dis cussed with them in a fatherly way.
 But after that month, hard bo ed Army sergeants will get tha recruits, -xpect them to ex- ecute commands, comply with cu-.ems and obey strict Army law and no questions asked.

The Washington 
By Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen

WASHINGTON-The diplomat ic reports which President RooSe welt now has on his desk all in- dicate that the war has reached the most crucial point in it's var iegated history and that adroit even strong arm diplomacy by the United States might tip the balance to British victory.
 How this may be done is now the most vital question before the White House and State De partment.
 To understand the role which the United States may or may not play in tipping the balance one must look back on the his tory of this war.
 The attempt to invade Eng land last September stands out like the Battle of the Marne when in 1914 the Germans came within a few miles of taking Paris. Had thy penetrated Is miles further the outcome of the World War would have been diff ferent.
 But from that moment on, the World War settled down to a long draWn-out siege in which the sticking powers of the Ger man people were pitted against the immense resources of the Al lies and during which the Ger man war machine lost it's immed fate advantage of advance pre- paration.
 Twenty-six years later - in September, 1940 the Battle of Britain seems to have been al- most identical. At one time the Germans actually had barges loaded with men headed for Brit ish ports. But the alertness of th- Royal Air Force plus bad weather drove them back.
 The entire force of Hitler's mighty military machine after years of painstaking preparation was poised for this attack. Now that the attack has failed Hitler has had to settle down to a har- assing, waiting policy.
 Such a policy easily can hs dis astrous. For the key to Hitler's DO it.caI success has been his con 5tant uneorking of victories for lhe German people. Austria, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Den mark, Holland, Belgium and France all have been held up as

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

A hard fate met the youth who
Joined Prince Frederick in an
attempt to run away. BY order
Of the King. he was put to DEATH
The life of the prince was spared,
but for time he was kept under
close guard.
In the years that followed, he
was in close touch with the army.
At the age of 20 we find him writ
Ing letter which contained these
words:
Il have just drilled, and I shall
keep on drilling. I would rather
drill here from dawn to dusk than
to live as rich man in Berlin" :"
A year later came Fredericks
wedding day. Following the order
OF the King, he was married to the
niece OF the Austrian Emperor. He
did not love her, but he was afraid
to stand against his fathers will.
The years went on, and Fred
erick kept on with his army work.
At length he was given the rank
Of colonel.
AS he grew older, there came
further changes in his viewpoint
He did not give up his love for
books, but his mind became charged
with the idea of military power.
He looked forward to the time
he would become King, and dreamed
OF adding to the size of his king
dom.
Drill, drill, drill! That was the
