Farmers ToHave
Important Role
In Scrap Harvest
Two and One-Half Million
Tons From 6,OOO,O 900
Farms Expected.

Minnesota farmers will play a vital
part in the national scrap iron and
steel harvest which is being launched
in this state Saturday, August Is.
Collection of at least 10000 tons of
iron and steel per month in the rural
areas between now and the end of
the year is the aim of Linus E.
Vorpahl, executive secretary of the
Minnesota general salvage committee
On nationwide scale, 100000
tons of scrap metal from the coun-
try's 100000 farms is the goal that
has been set for the national scrap
harvest. The drive is directed and
supervised by state and local salvage
committees throughout the nation.
The farm equipment industry with
$4,000 implement dealers, one of the
largest industries in the country and
the one that comes in closest contact
with farm conditions, is offering we'll
organized manpower to assist.
Depots Being Set Up.
In Minnesota, depots for the COL
lection of donated scrap are now
being set up in many communities,
Mr.. Vorpahl said. Local salvage COM
mittees are planning to contact every
farmer in the state and arrangements
will be made to move scrap too heavy
for individuals to handle alone.
practically all the allied reverses
in this war have been attributed to
too little and too late'," Mr.. Vorpahl
said.
America is determined that too
little and too late shall never again
apply to our war effort" he said
''Our steel furnaces have the capa-
city and must and will produce more
steel than the rest of the world COM
bined, but to produce steel we must
have raw material. America must
collect and ship 100000 tons of
iron and steel scrap before Deem
Der 81. Minnesota's quota is 476, 900
tons. We must get it in"
Dealers to Lend Aid.
Cooperating in the scrap harvest
in Minnesota are representatives of
the farm implement business, auto
dealers, the rubber industry and the
petroleum industry. Representatives
of these groups have been appointed
to the various local salvage COM
mittees. In each community, salvage
representative will go from farm
to farm, asking farmers to donate
or sell scrap for the war program
Smaller amounts of scrap, which
can be readily moved, can be brought
into towns and left at salvage depots
For the larger and bulkier mater
ials, such as machinery, arrangements
will be made by the salvage COM
mittees for getting these into the
scrap markets.
Through the scrap harvest it is
hoped to comb every foot of ground
in the state for all old and unused
iron and steel which might be con-
verted to the war program.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

To the intense chagrin of the United
Nations, especially the United States
and Great Britain, additional jap
anese troops last week were landed
on islands not so far from the Austria
liam continent, and the impression
grew that the enemy was at last
planning direct attack on the main
land. There was quite lot of bit
terness expressed at the thought that
the supreme command in charge OF
the southwestern Pacific ocean had
not been able to illustrate the Japan
csc plans, but it was explained that
on this part of the world front the
United Nations had neither men mol
war materials in sufficient quantity
to stop the Nipponese.
That may have been a ruSe,
for just as the democratic world
was beginning to worry serious
ly about the situation down un-
der, reports came flashing to the
navy department in Washington
that a part of the United States
Pacific fleet had met and engaged
the enemy in the region around
the Solomon islands, and that
the battle was progressing sat
isfactorily," from the American
viewpoint. BY the time these
lines are being read, it is likely
that the United States naval
forces have scored a new tri-
umph, but at the moment of
writing there is only the one
brief statement that all is going
well.
The sudden burst of japanese &C
tivity on the Australian front may
have lessened the pressure on China,
for the fact is that for several days
no important news has come out OF
the Chinese front, except some bull
letins to the effect that American
aviators have been bombing several
japanese positions with good effect

It may be-but we don't know

international News Review

that Japan is thinking of an attack
on India, and in anticipation of that,
the British government several
months ago urged the people of that
colony to stand up and fight. The
Hindus said they would-if the Brit
ish government would grant them
political independence and economic
freedom Immediately; London replied
that such concessions would be made
after the war but not now.
The result was that Mohandas
Gandhi, the spiritual leader of the
majority of the people of India, be-
gan to prepare a new ''bloodless cam
paign against the British, and a few
days ago the All-India Congress Gin
dia's strongest political party en-
dorsed his plan.
He wanted independence
granted Immediately; if London
would heed that demand, India
was likely to cooperate with
Britain; if not, there would be
no desire to fight, as he said,
"England's wars" On the other
hand, he made it very plain that
he would welcome Japanese rule
as little as British; his one idea
is that India must be free to
formulate her own life, her own
policy.
London has given no sign of yield
ing to the Hindu demands; they can
not be ignored, but will be resisted,
so the British-Indian government has
forbidden the publication. of news
concerning the renewed movement,
and has made it plain that organized
national disobedience may carry with
it severe penalties; for instance, bust
ness houses which sell what are
known as the necessities of life, must
remain open. And, to show that the
British meant business, they put
Gandhi in prison.
