a substitute consisting of cotton

placed in production. Thus instead
of using up a war material that is
rapidly becoming scarcer We will
provide an alternate manufactured
from an agricultural product of
which the Nation has a great sur
plus.
In their construction activities
the Army engineers are overlooking
no bets in the attempts to save
critical materials of all sorts. We
have reduced our copper estimates
by 80 per cent and our zinc estimates
by around "a per cent. Copper today
is far more valuable than gold, as
war metal. We all know what the

new estimates indicate a saving that
will meet the rubber requirements

BY virtue of the very size of this
program, it is evident that revisions
in design or specifications for the
saving OF essential materials for
military purposes represent immense
economies over such broad front.
What we are trying to do is to
squeeze every last possible ounce of
precious war material off the con-
struction program.
"One of the major activities on
our program is the erection of
