World War Veteran
 Submits Suggestion
Loan Money for Victory, Future Happiness Without Demanding Interest on Investment
 in Bonds - Points Out Possibilities.

If the citizenry as a whole could have the choice of purchasing non- Interest bearing bonds es against those bearing interest: It is most certain that a great ma jority of them would avail them selves of the opportunity and the privilege to show their patriotism
 Tn the final analysis there is nothing to lose and everything to- gain. We merely loan the govern ment our money for the full face value of the bond (without in- terest) and the government guar antees repayment at any time we need 1t. Thus we safeguard our selves against vnbearable taxation protect our future buying power and guarantee our solvency. But if we insist on collecting intefest we might jeopardizs the future of America especially should another world wide catastrophe arise with in the next century. The sum of IS billion dollars a year would give us the most modern up to date Army and Navy in the world and no nation would dare break the peace. So it is readily seen what benefits we would all derive if we loaned the government money without interest.

Envoy Willkie
 Reaches Syria
confefs at Once With General CatrOux Fighting
 French COmmander-in-Chief

Beirut, Syria, Sept. 10 O- (Up)- Wendell Willkie, special U. s. envoy, and his party arrived here this morning. in Pan- n-Ainerican plane plane from Ankara.
 Willkie drove immediately from the airport to the residence of General Geogges Catroux, fighting French commander : in chief in Syria, where he met Gen. Charles De Gaulle.
 He was accompanied by Gen. Catroux and by U. S. Consul Will liam Gwynn of Los Angeles.
 Willkie's plane was met at the airport by Gwynn, Catroux, British Minister Sir Edward Spears, and U. s. Consular officials. With Catroux he inspected 8 guard or honor while a military band played the Ameri- can national anthem. Willkie, who ss accompanied by Joseph Barnes and Gardner Cowles of the office of War Information, said he had had an excellent trip and fine weather"
 Willkie left Ankara at 2 a. m. after completing his mission to Turkey last night with a one-hour conservation with Turkish Premier Eukru Saracoglu at the residence of U. s. Ambassador Laurence Steinhardt.
 It was believed Willkie had given saracoglu the same information he gave Foreign Minister Numan Men- enencioglu in an unusually long conference Tuesday. Saracoglu re- rortedly reiterated to WiIlkie Tur- teys undertaking policy of neutral fly but friendly cooperation with tie United Nations in accordance with the Anglo Turkish alliance.

Old tin cans from U. s. kitchens will yield over 5000 tons of pure tin and 297,OO0 tons of steel scrap per year when the flow of cans to present detinning plants reaches capacity levels. To help relieve the critical shortage of both metals, an expansion program now under way will jump detinning capacity to re- cover total of 5000 tons of tin and 495, ,000 tons of steel scrap per year by the middle of 1943.
 But this quantity of critical metals will be recovered only when the nations housewives furnish properly prepared used tin cans, and only when local collection agencies segregate and deliver the cans to detinners.
 Critical Materials
 Tin and scrap steel are both in the front ranks of critically short war materials. Our normal peace time needs of 65,0O0 to 8000O tons of tin year, and 10000 tons in 1941, over 98 per cent of which we imported from the Far East, is this year being cut to 62,000 and to 48,- 900 in 1943. Even with this drastic cut, and with domestic production of tin from Bolivian ores, our avail able supply is way short of essential needs. The 5000 tons of tin re- covered from cans will become one of the principal soruces of U. S.. tin, amounting to perhaps 15 per cent of the total supply. U. s. tin production is nil. Alaska, Mexico and miscellaneous North and South American sources will provide less than 1000 tons.
 Four corporations operating seven plants comprise the major part of the present detinning industry, These larger plants, situated in New Jersey, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cleveland, can detin about 300,000 tons of properly prepared cans a year.
 Detinning of old cans is dependent upon delivery to detinning plants of cans properly prepared. This means cans that are washed, free of food, paper, and dirt. It means cans with the ends cut off, with the sides flattened almost together, and the ends inserted into the flattened can. When cans are prepared in this manner the present scrap de- timing plants can handle them. Preparing cans is the housewife's s job, and without her whole hearted cooperation this badly needed tin and steel cannot be recovered.
 Average Estimates
 Experience shows that one ton of used cans per month can be col lected for every 1000 of population. With present facilities we can detin 25 per cent of all the cans we use. But this isn't enough. We need more tin more steel scrap. So additional facilities are being built. A reason able objective is now thought to be collection of 50 per cent of all cans manufactured.
 To enable the seven present de- timing plants to use not only pre- pared cans but dirty, unprepared cans as well, shredding and cleaning plants are being added to each. Here food and dirt is burned off. the can is shredded. and it is then ready for detinning. But we need tin and steel so badly that even the less efficient method must be added.
 Location of eight sherdding plants has been tentatively determined. They will be in Philadelphia. CIn- cinnati, Toledo. Providence, Cleve- land. Detroit and Boston @ plants).
 Nine other plants will be located after careful consideration of popu-

Help win the war, protect Amer ica's future prosperity and greatness and avoid staggering tax bills oi generations to come is the gist of an appeal made today in letter signed by RobertW Hayes, as commander of the Waterbury chapter of Dis abled American Veterans and well known as a veteran postal employe MT. Hayes urges the public to loan money to the government by buy ing bonds without expecting inter- est on the investment.
 MT. Hayes interesting letter fol- lows:
 Tn all probability this war will cost the United States approx imately 500 billion dollars before ultimate victory is attained. At 3% interest it will mean that the United States will be obliged to tax It's own citizens 15 billion dollars every year to meet the interest bill.
 Common sense tells each and every one of us that for hundreds, yes, thousands of years, we would be taxing our childrens children with this enormous burden and the principal sum of 500 billion dollars would still remain unpaid. What an unhealthy inheritance to pass on to our future Americans.
 It is reasonable to expect, that even such an unheard of sum as 500 billion dollars could be written of in a hundred years at a rate of billion dollars a year If no interest charges are involved. But there is no possibility of writing off such debt If interest charges of 15 billion dollars are to be paid not chance in a thousand years.

Diplomatic quarters in Ankara considered that Saracoglu's inter- ruption of tour of the eastern provinces to fly back by special plane for the conversation last night emphasized the importance of Willkie's visit and constituted an unexpected gesture of courtesy.
 The authoritative Istanbul news paper Akchaln in a farewell edi- torial, noted Willkie's firmly ex- pressed conviction that the United nations will win the war and de- clared Turkey lis an admirer of America and knows the United States is fighting for g peace based on justice and equality"
 The chief result of Willkie,s visit was considered to be the implant- ing in both the official and public mind of mounting American pro- duction, growing United Nations strength in he middle east, and increasing American participation in the war. At the same time, An kara observers said, Willkie was convinced of the sincerity and honesty of Turkish policy" and would 50 report to President Roose- velt.,
 Before the conference with Sara coglu, Willkie attended a banquet given at the American embassy. Guests included Foreign Minister Menemencioglu, war Minister Gen. Ali Riza Artunkal, Commerce Min- ister Behcet Uz, British Ambassador Huge Knatchbull- -Hugessen, Sov- jet Charge d'Aflaires Michailovitch Kostileff, and Chinese Minister Tsu Shang Yul.
