Worlds Nitrate Supply
Is Obtained From Chile

Chile has population of 1900, 900,
or approximately that Of Massachu-
sets, on an area more than "a times
that Of Massachusetts. It supplies
all the worlds natural nitrate, as
well as 80 per cent of the iodine,
almost half the borax and Is per
cent of the worlds copper.
It borders the southern Pacific
coast of South America running al
most north and south for 2,627 miles,
and varies in width from 105 to 223
miles. Inland it is bounded by the
lofty crest of the Andes, the back
ground of all Chilean panoramas and
possessed of vast waterpower.
If Chile occupied the same latitude
in the northern hemisphere it would
extend from the latitude Of Jamaica
through Cuba, Florida, the rest Of
the United States and Canada to
the southern shores Of Hudson bay,
says the National Geographic soci-
ETY.. With the varied climate thus
afforded, Chile has widely diversi-
fed scenery and economic interests.
Frequent dust storms, mirages
and often frost at night feature the
hot, arid section of northern Chile,
which for many years has furnished
most of the country's revenue.
The nitrate fields stretch for sew
eral hundreds of miles along the
western rim of the upland plains,
the deposits being not more than
20 to 80 feet below the surface.
Chile's mineral exports account for
more than rs per cent Of the total.
the United States taking one-fourth,
including practically all the iron
ore.

the high speed life lived by most
Americans today is the underlying
cause. The modern tempo may be
too fast for a large number of the

Tactic Acid Into Rubber

Many forward strides in the utili-
cation of waste products include
some of promise to the lacquer and
varnish industry. One in particu-
lar deals with converting the Tactic
acid in dairy products into sub
stance known as polymethylacryl-
ate, rubberlike material, which,
in addition to being very tough and
elastic-is not subject to discolora-
ton by sunlight or ultraviolet rays.
This method will probably prove OF
significance in the formulation OF
lacquers, varnishes and impregnat-
ing compounds. If it proves COM
mercially practicable, source OF
low-cost lacquer and varnish ingre-
dients will have been found.

Time to Be Choosey.
Now Is experts SIT on the Army
induction boards. This accounts for
the rejection Of as high as Is per
cent in some sections, which is no
indication that our youth have de-
teriorated since the World War.
The Army has the time and per-
sonnel to be more choosey.
Four of the IS on the induction
board are psychiatrists. They are
able to judge, in science which has
much advanced in the last Is years,
whether the youth. who may go
along all right in his home groove
and occupation, may not suffer
handicapping mental affliction in
the change to barrack life and drill
and under battle test
And we shall have infantry that
can march. The German command
made sure of this, which was neg
lected by the French through last
fall and winter. Our inductees will
be early accustomed to periods in
which they will bear full equipment
before they are in for route marches
under its weight. The infantry may
ride in trucks to the front where
practicable. but they fight on their
feet, and they may have to go up
hillsides where tanks and trucks
cannot go and be agile in taking
cover as tiny, unseen targets. just
as the Greek soldiers are doing.

tributes for our young Reserve off,
GERS from Regular officers-tributes
which go so far as saying that some
are already better than some West
Pointers who had kept step in the
rear Of the procession.
In field and staff commands I
have noted officers who made good
in their youth in France or in Or
ganization at home in the World
War. They realize on experience
in applying the latest lessons. In
peace, we are training the COM

Such is the gratifying keynote Of
study of the supreme overhead
factor in our Army's preparations,
and good time to make that study
was just when the first lot of our
selectees were going to camp.
Centralized Direction.
The men may be drilled, the arms
forthcoming, but victory depends
largely upon centralized direction
based on sound principles, and this
can be judged at the headquarters

whence the initiative and impulse
spread down through the rank and
file.
Those of us who went through the
mill of cur pell-mell hasty prepara-
tons, after our entry into the now
so-called First World War, wondered
how many of the inevitable mis-
takes We made then would be
avoided in 1940-41. Beyond that,
how far would we profit in our own
Set-up for our own problem from
those made in this war? French
organization on the defensive failed.
German organization on the offen-

on a half-cocked offensive failed,
and the Greek offensive still con-
