TIHOSE who read this and do not see the

will send our publications on the subject
showing roughly, the distances over which
the war Of the Pacific is to be fOught-per-
haps a few weeks hence after the japanese

British menace in the Far East. The Japa-
nese are not going to be good sports" and
wait until I945 when the United States Is
fully prepared. Time is the essence of this
war.
Accordingly, WRITE YOUR CONGRESS-
MAN. Point out to him that the Pacific
Northwest must have an emergency supply
of petroleum. If every gallon of production
from every refinery In Montana, Wyoming,
POcateIIO and Spokane were to be moved
into Washington and Oregon, it would not
be adequate to supply the market. 1t win

coast rails and highways-tO care for Puget
Sound In case Of attack, Puget Sound MUST
have the petroleum products from nearby
oil fields.

Avoid TOO Little and Too Late"

Would it not be wonderful if history
were to record that Puget Sound was pro-
vided with motor fuel for vital defense
and civilian needs "TOO Much, Too Soon"
in spite of the japanese submarine cam
paign.
That is the prospect only providing the
people who read these lines actually fol-
low up the admOnitiOn write your con-
gresham"
1t is fact demonstrated many times
over that congressman, along with aver
age business and professional men, know
little about geography west of the Mis-
siSsippi river. To the easterner, Los An
geles to Seattle is something correspond
ing to the distance from Baltimore to
Washington. The east has no conception
of the peril of the Pacific Northwest
when total war comes with a submarine
blockade of the Pacific coast.
The East has oil fields extending up
from the Gulf Coast to New York and a
maze of pipelines, both for gasoline and
crude. Also great refineries are located
on the north Atlantic seabOard.
Not SO with the west. There is no refin-
cry in western Washington, no refinery
in Oregon and no refinery of any cOnse-
quence in northern California. There is
no oil storage of any consequence in the
entire area.
What if there were no refinery closer to
New York than Tulsa?--NO pipelines
north of Oklahoma?
Would there be alarm on the Atlantic
coast, with German submarines prOwling
the tanker lanes?
1t takes little imagination to under
stand the CONSERVATION of the East coast
under those circumstances.
Yet that is the situation on the West
coast and what is being done about it?
What should be done about it?
The government should allocate all the
steel that Montana and Wyoming oil
fields can possibly use, for storage tanks
and for drilling, pumping and refining.

Every string of tools in these two states
should be at work, day and night, drilling
wells against the day when Washington
and Oregon and Alaska will need motor
fuel. Every refinery should be operating
at utmost capacity, storing all products
in excess of normal demands.
The Dies committee recently revealed
plans taken from a Japanese agent which
showed the plan of attack on the United
States. 1t observation-disclosures the short
estrOute, by way of the AIeutian islands,
Dutch HarbOr, Alaska, thence through
British Columbia and Puget Sound.
The first Japanese step, naturally,
would be to stop cOastWise tankers to de-
prive the Northwest and Alaska of the
nations blOOd--petrOleum.
Without adequate petroleum, the great
war industries of Puget Sound would
stop; without petroleum, the situation i'm
Alaska would be hopeless.
The war of the Pacific will not be
fought at Los Angeles or at San Francis
cO--the farthest point from Tokyo. The
Japs will take the short route and attack
the Pacific cOaSt--nOt at the point where
defense has been carefully prepared, but
at places where the chances of success
are best.
That is the successful strategy of the
Axis. They took Singapore by attacking
it from the back side. The great guns of
Singapore were never put in action be-
cause they were pointing the wrong way.
1t would have been Jap suicide just as it
would have been suicide for the Germans
to try to go through the MaginOt line.
SO those persons who think that the
Japs must be "goOd sports" and fight the
war in California, on the grounds of
Uncle Sans choosing, are missing the OPP
pOrtunity to prepare to meet the probable
alternative. And there is no more serious
shortage anywhere in the United States
than of petroleum in the Pacific North
west.

Asking advice as to how best the

of America can support the war
effort, William Edwin Hall, presi-
dent of the clubs, wired President
Roosevelt pledging the loyalty and
active support of all boys in the

Mr.. Hall told the President that
the clubs are intensifYng their
physical education programs and

in such special war efforts as COL
lecting waste paper. Special atten-
ton is being given to training in
trade skills of use in time of war.
Each of the three clubs in WASH

cessful campaign to collect waste
paper. The central branch required
boys to bring waste paper for ad-
mission to dances. movies and par
ties. The boys were intrigued with
the novelty of the program and
proud to know they were doing their
part for national defense.
The basement at Eastern branch,
it was said, has been converted into
a waste paper storage room with
more supplies coming in daily. At
the Georgetown branch a new crafts
shop is being added to aid in the
development Of mechanical skills

Cut in Use
Of Lead by Civilians
Ordered by 0. P. N.
Amounts Few Essential
Products Will Receive
Sharply CurtoiIed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Sweeping new restrictions on the
civilian use of lead were ordered to-
day by Donald NJ. Nelson, priori-
ties director of o. P. NJ. to divert
a greater supply to war materials.
The order was similar to recent
copper and tin conservation edicts.
1t prohibits the use of lead in most
civilian manufacturing and sharply
curtails the amount to be used in
a few essential products.
At the same time, o. P. M.
amended its general imports order
to add lead to the list of materials
which cannot be imported except by
the Metals Reserve Corp, an r. F.
C. subsidiary.
The lead order provides that after
April l lead cannot be used in the
manufacture of automobile body
solder, as ballast or keels for pleas
ure boats, blocks for leather cut
ting, in building supplies, in caskets
and casket hardware, in foil, orna
mental glass, regalia. badges and
emblems. statuary and art goods.
toys. golf clubs, saddles, clocks and
dresses.
Until March 81 the use of lead for
these items must be restricted to so
per cent of the amount used in
either the third or fourth quarters
Of 1941.
Most other users of lead are re-
stricted, by quarters, to 80 per cent
of the amount used in either the
third or fourth periods of 1941
No restrictions were placed on
the use of lead in electroplating
processes. treatment of steel. bear
ings and washers, fighting
equipment, electrotyping, glass for
optical and scientific purposes,
X-ray equipment or for use in plants
where corrosion makes it necessary
Industrial laboratories and hospitals
also were exempted from the pro-
visions OF the order.

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Nd,
Jan. 10.-There Is Japan-born
recruit at Fort Meade, but there is
no doubt about his patriotism-his
father Is Undersecretary Of State
Sumner Welles.
Benjamin Welles Is now at the
recruit reception center. awaiting
transfer to an Army unit.
Due to be drafted next spring, he
had planned to volunteer before
being called. But when the war
broke December 7, he made i'm
mediate plans to leave Central
America where he was reporting for
the New York Times.
He returned to the United States,
spent the Christmas holidays with
his family in Washington, and en-
listed there January 2.
He was born In 1916 in the United
States Embassy in Toxic where his
father was third secretary. He left
as an infant and never returned.
He speakes no Japanese but does
speak French and German, having
Travelled extensively. AS he puts it,
he practically grew up in Argentina.
Mr.. Welles could have had a
commission because he is a Harvard
graduate. But, he said, he wanted
to start as a private because he
had found he learned the news
paper business a good deal better
by starting as copy boy.
