The committees report was based

GRAIN WINS
PLACE in The
RUBBER PROGRAM

Some Roadway has now been made
in the drive to give grain its proper
place in the governments rubber pro-
in sight. Standard Oils insistence
upon hogging the program again
brought forth a rebuke from Thur
man Arnold, who criticized it's behav-
| ior as "a deliberate attempt to frus-
trate the development of synthetic
rubber program in this country unless
Standard were allowed to dominate
it,"
The war production board recently
allocated 200,000,000 gallons of grain
alcohol to the 1943 synthetic rubber
program this was the amount pro
posed by Secretary Wickard last
month.
After Wickard had stressed the
practical values of rubber from grain,
Jesse Jones told the Gillette commit
tee that he would raise the synthetic
rubber program from 100000 to 1,000,-
900 tons, the increase to come from
grain alcohol. He made no promises,
however, for the construction of new
plants; and since none of the existing
facilities are in the wheat area, this
leaves little scope for drawing upon
the huge wheat surpluses.
Shortly after Jones' statement, Don
aid Nelson and rubber administrator
Arthur B. Newhall stated at joint
press conference that 100000 tons of
grain-rubber as an addition to the cur
rent program was more than the
WPB thought was feasible !. at the
present time" Instead of increasing
the total program, they proposed to
turn over one-quarter Of the previous
ly planned output to grain-rubber and

tons out of existing facilities"

committee of the Cooperative League
in the campaign to raise radio fund
of $50,00000.
At the meeting of the directors of
the Farmers Union Central Exchange
held on June II the directors gave
their hearty approval Of the plan, and
by proper resolution authorized con-
tribution of $250.00 towards the fund.
The original plan was to find $4,000
persons interested in the consumers
cooperative movement to contribute
$1O0 each to make a National Coop
Radio Fund of $50,000.00.
When this radio fund is raised, and
the programs placed on the air, every
cooperative oil company, store, cream

of the lamp division of General Elec-
trio. Prior to that he was chief en-
gineer for Alcoa for many years.
This column has done a bit of
checking and has obtained the follow
ing from most competent sources:
The Bayer process, which is used
by Alcoa for producing aluminium,
cannot produce good grade alum
mum from IoW-grade bauxite; that
aluminium produced by the Bayer
process from Iow-grade bauxite con-
tains many Impurities such as silica,
and is not suited for fabrication
into sheet aluminium for airplane
purposes; that the government is
erecting plants for aluminium pro-
duction from Iow-grade bauxte
without having process that is
perfected under which good alumni
mum can be produced, and that
there is sufficient high-grade baux-
lite to supply all plants.
According to engineers, aluminium
produced from low-grade bauxite
could be used only for such things as
forgings and castings. Alcoa once
entered into a commercial contract to
sell aluminium for one-half the regu-
lar price if it contained more than
certain amount of silica, indicating
how silica destroys it's usefulness.
How Alcoa Operates
Alcoa enjoys one of the most air
tight monopolies in this country, de-
spite the fact that patent rights for
the Bayer process expired more than
20 years ago.
1t maintains this monopoly by buy
ing up it's competitors, for which 1t

GRAIN MARKET
Moderately
QUIET and firm

Grain futures with the exception OF
barley mostly continued moderate
firmness and closed the week ended
June 10 unchanged to slightly higher
than week ago, according to the
department of agriculture, with cash
premiums generally steady to firm.
With the principal markets ready to
regulate the flow of grain into termi-
nails and the efforts of the CCC to
provide emergency storage in heavy
producing areas, there was more con-
fidence that the storage situation
would be 'allevaited, which apparently
offset to some extent the lessened
possibility that government loan rates
on grain would be increased to or
near to parity. Cash wheat was
steady to firm and 1c higher in spots
for the dry, higher protein lots al
though flour businesswas slow. Con-
tinued wet weather in the southwest
harvest area brought uncertainty as
to the quality especially protein con-
tent, of the new wheat, as well as to
the amount which might be forced
into commercial channels because of
high moisture content. Kansas City
received the first wheat Of the new
crop during the week Cash rye, corn,
and oats especially were steady to
firm for the better qualities while flax
was stronger with the top of the cash
premium range 1c higher Cash bar
ley especially was independently weak
and declined sharply with the oncom-
ing new crop and slower demand
top qualities were stubborn.
Approximately 70% of the CONNER
cial storage space in the principal
markets was filled at the middle of
June. OF total Of slightly less than
465 100000 bushels Of storage, only
about 14O,0O0,0O0 bushels was unoc-
cupied on that date.

Estimate of the Situation

The political pot is still only sim
mering, If that. Even the weather
conditions takes precedence over poll
tics as topic of conservation among
the people, with the war taking con-
slant first place. Sometimes, when
resident of county is asked con-
corning who is going to be his or her
candidate for representative in the
state legislature, the one asked says
bIankIy "Pn darned If ! know. Have
Mt paid any attention to It,"
This attitude is a dangerous one
and certainly does not demonstrate
an intelligent appraisal of citizen re-
sponsibi!ity. Certainly a person like
that "has no kick coming" If ne is
adversely affected by any laws passed.
There has been some active cam
paigning done by congressional can
didates and by candidates for state Of

people over the election.

attack on the Axis. Already partici-
pating in an "all out" effort to pro-
duce the food and fiber needed by the
United Nations, farmer co-operatives
are now pledged to wholehearted sup
port of the United States Treasury's
farmer-producer plan for the purchase
OF, war bonds" declared H. E. Bah
cock, president of the National Coun-
Gil of Farmer Co-operatives.
Through their national organization,
the council, $500 farmer-owned and
controlled marketing and purchasing
associations, representing over 2,000,-
900 farmers, have endorsed the Treas
ury plan. Farmer-members of these
associations will now be able to par
ticipate in a systematic savings plan
comparable to the payroll deduction
plans being used in business and in
|dustry.
Two distinct systems Of saving for
the purchase of war bonds are avail
able as a result of trial of several
plans in different parts of the country.
Farmers with regular monthly in
comes, such as dairymen and poultry
raisers, may have their co-operatives
deduct stated sums monthly. Farm
ers who deliver crops to their coop
eratives only once a year may have
percent of each sale, or stated
amount per bushel or other unit, de-

Under both plans, the co-operatives
will handle all details of purchasing
the war bonds and delivering them to
the purchasers. The allotment from
farmers earnings is entirely volun-
tary, and may be cancelled or changed
at any time, it is pointed out.
1t is probable that the larger farm
er co-operatives will be designated by
the United States Treasury as issuing
agents for the bonds, with their local
units authorized to collect remit
tances.

'lings had been appointed to
the position.
The people of the state will view
the appointment of Peterson to this
position in the same light as most
of the public is beginning TO view the
work of the dollar-a-year men in the
war production agencies in Washing
ton; regardless of the honest intent
of the appointee, he will nevertheless
have an irresistible leaning toward
the point of view and the profit in
terests of the retailers and his de-
cisions will be colored in that way.
Liberal groups throughout the state
had urged the appointment of man
whose background would indicate that
he held no particular prediction for
any group; who could be expected to
be interested in one thing and one
only; the carrying out of the regula-
tions of the price program as laid
down by those in charge in Washing
ton. In that event, it was believed
that consumers and retailers alike
would be equally treated under the
program and no decisions made would
be colored by any personal, selfish or
class interests.
The appointment of the administra-
or for Montana was one of the very
lew remaining to be made. 1t is ex-
pected that the appointments to sub
ordinate POSITIONS will quite generally
conform to the pattern indicated by
2etersons appointment, though efforts
ire being continued to secure appoint
nents that will develop confidence
imong the consumer groups in the
worth of the program from their
