Japanese Shipping
War Materials to
German Industry

LONDON, Sept. Is. CUP)-Ger-
many is receiving vital war mate
rials from Japan via supply routes
around the Cape of Good Hope and
Cape Horn and across thousands OF
miles of Allied patroled waters, it
was disclosed today.
Reliable informantS said the traf-
fic. which started as "a trickle"
soon after the japanese captured
Singapore last Feb. Is, now was
regarded IN responsible quarters as
"a serious trickle.'
It was understood that Japan is
shipping rubber, oils, oil seeds,
tungsten, manganese and tin to
Germany. In return, she gets war
machine tools and manufactured
goods.
At the fall of Singapore, it was
known that Japan had II to 10
merchant ships capable of making
a nonstop voyage to Germany or
German dominated ports. Such
norts we're believed to be located
in West and North Africa, where
big cargoes can be dispersed into
smaller ships for a dash through
the waters where the Allied block
ade is tightest.

tour of us. positions in the Pa
cific.
DO you think we are in a posi-
ton to hold the japanese against
anything they might throw in?" he
was asked at press conference.
Yes, I think we are he replied.
But I don't think We can do it
by merely holding We've got to
keep pushing. The best defense is
a strong offense. We can't remain
static"
Does that mean that we have
turned the balance of military and
naval striking power in the Western
Pacific?"
Yes, we have for the time be-
ing. Most certainly. I'm not bold
enough to do any forecasting but
for the present the answer is yes

UNCLE SAM {
NEEDS THEIR HELP

(Christian Science MOnitor)
There is good judgment in the Gov
ernment's recent announcement that the
nations southern border is to be opened
for temporary immigration of Mexican
farm workers. Three purposes will be
fulfilled. First, it assures an important
producing area of adequate labor
to handle its many vegetable and fruit
crops in the food-for-victory campaign;
second, it will promote good will between
two sister republics of the continent;
third, it will free a certain number OF
United States citizens for war work.
The Farm Security Administration will
have general charge of the project, which
has been arranged through the State De-
partment. Mexican workers will come
only to those areas where labor is needed.
Transportation will be paid from the
MeXicanS home to the work area and re-
turn. The immigrants will not be subject
to military service in the United States
armed forces. The farmers must pay
newcomers the going wages in the COM
munity, with Il minimum of 30 cents an
hour
From all angles, the arrangements
seems likely to be helpful Farmers and
fruit growers are hard pressed, since Jap
anese labor is in concentration camps and
most of the "Okies' are in the airplane
plants.

ports.
Wilhelmshaven is one of the most
heavily defended areas in Germany,
and flying conditions were poor
throughout Europe last night. New
ertheleSS, the Raj lost only two
bombers, which competent observ-
ers said was IAN infiniteSimal per-
centage."
Last nights attack was the 68th
raid on Wilhelmshaven but most
have been daylight raids, often by
single planes. The German base last
was bombed during the night OF
July g.
1t was noteworthy that the last
two raids followed the RATS policy,
pursued almost all summer, of con-
centrating on submarine activities
and slowing German communica-
tions at the same time by attacking
railroad centers and functions.
Radio Berlin, reporting the RATS
night activities, said British bomb
ers raided a northern German
port" 1t admitted that fires were
started, and claimed, as usual, that
damage was inflicted mostly in res
idential sections. Germany claimed
that four raiders were shot down.
The Wilhelmshaven raid came on
the second anniversary of the RATS
greatest victory over Marshal Her
mann Wilhelm Goering's German
air force On Sept. Is, 1910, indom-
liable British fighters ended Ger
many's daylight efforts to "blitz'
London by knocking 1875 Nazi planes
out of the sky.
During the first two weeks of
September, the Germans sent wave
after wave of bomberS against Lon
don and other British cities driV-
ing their all-out attacks to a fur
ious crescendo. Goering personally
took command OF the attack on
Sept. 8, hoping to force Britain To
it's knees, or at least pave the way
for an invasion.

on Sept II, 1910, Prime Minister.
Winston Churchill warned Britons
that invasion was imminent, per
haps next week"
On Sept. 13, Goering launched
arecord- breaking daylight raid on
London as British bombers struck
back in force at the Ruhr The next
day London had four daylight raids.
On the 18th, 400 German planes
roared out of the bright sun over
the English channel and were met
by British fighters. Nazi planes and
pilots plunged into London's streets
throughout the day. When the score
was reckoned, Germany had lost
1875 planes-Britain 25 planes and
II pilots.
Thereafter the daylight raids less
ened, although mass night attacks
continued during the winter. Most
observers rate Sept. Is the turning
point in the battle of Britain.

out daylight air attacks on Britain,

Only two bombers were reported

40-HOUR WEEK
Nevada State JournaD


Whether the order issued by the Presi-
dent this week, removing the penalty
dOuble-time payments for work done on
Saturday, Sunday and holidays by indus
trial workers, is the prelude to another
order, or a movement on the part of the
administration to abolish the 40 J. hour
week for the duration of the war, is
question that may not be answered for
some time.
The executive order is designed to en-
courage manufacturers to operate on
Weekends and holidays and to make the
practice of foregoing dOuble-time univer-
sal, as several unions have already ban
ned double-time for holiday and Sunday
work, when those days fall within the
regular five-day work week.
There is no excuse now for maintaining
the 40-hour week in war industries. 1t is
contended by some that the 40-hour re-
StrictiOn means nothing now and is only
a measure on which to base wages, as
thousands of industrial workers are
working AZ hours, 56 hours and even
longer each week
However, there are thousands of indus
trial workers who stick to the 40-hOur
week because that is the law and they
are not interested in overtime. There's
a shortage of labor everywhere and the
40-hour limitation serves to increase that
shortage. The law was enacted to spread
work when there was a surplus of labor
in a nation at peace The picture has
changed completely and the law should
be set aside for the duration of the war.
1t would not mean reduction in hourly
wages for any worker but it would mean
increased production to the extent of
eight hours each week, multiplied by
hundreds of thousands of workers, at a
time when the armed forces of this coun-
try and its allies are crying for more
materials of war

enemy lines a few months ago
would have raised swarms of inter-

It was believed possible that the
smashing Allied raids on the chief
Japanese north coast bases might
have embarrassed the enemy's aer-
ial efforts, or that the japanese had
shifted their air strength, possibly
to support operations in the Solo
mons.
The five-day lull in the confined,
vicious battle for the Owen Stanley
range indicated that the japanese,
who started from Kokoda, on the
north slope, Sept. 7, and crossed
the range at 1000 foot altitude,
probably were regrouping for re-

GOT ANY OLD
STOVE BOLTS?

or any old stoves, for that matter! !
If you have, you'll never find better
use for them than the one offered by
Imperial Valleys scrap metal drive.
There's no need to repeat here how
many tons of scrap iron will make one
tank, or one big gun, or how many rifles
the government can get out of your old
lawnmower.
This is one case in which there's no
need for statistics to back up an argu-
ment. There's no argument.
Uncle Sam needs scrap metal, and
needs it badly This is no cry of wolf!
wolf This is the real thing. They need
scrap metal to produce new steel of
high quality, because a certain amount
of the old metal must go into every
batch of new And there isn't enough of
the old metal on hand to do the job.
Are we going to stand by and see the
Japs using the scrap metal they bought
from US before the war, while our own
country hasn't got enough scrap in the
steel mills to give Hirohito's little boys
a sound drubbing?
No matter how the Japs were allowed
to get the scrap in the first place. That
doesn't matter, now. What does matter
is that America needs 1t.
There is enough scrap iron scattered
around the country to keep the steel
mills going for a good, long time. There
is enough of it in Imperial Valley alone
to supply them with a goodly quantity.
This country's trouble is not that it has
MT the scrap metal; it is that the scrap
is not in the right place.
It's our job to see that it gets there.
It's our job to see that there's more scrap
metal sent to the steel mills than they
can use in five years.
Don't think you haven't enough scrap
metal around your place to matter. Re-
member how little the grains of sand
are, yet how vast the worlds shorelines
are? Little things make big piles, and
if every Imperial Valleyite puts one
pound of scrap metal into this drive, the
total would be respectable one when
it is all over.
None of us need be content with giving
one pound. Practically every home in
the valley can produce more than that.
Pick up your scrap metal today, throw
it into the community pot, and you'll help
cook a stew to poison the axis.
