things as making sure that the
banana-growing republics Of South
and Central America have enough
copper sulphate to combat the dead
ly sigatoka disease which attacks the
banana trees. The banana planta-
lions must be kept going, even
though shipping shortages make
current deliveries next to impossible.
SEEK TO INCREASE
CLSITICAL MATERIALS
Parallel with the requirements
branch there is a projects branch
which attempts to find ways Of
relieving shortages In critical ma
terials. The case Of the Brazil
steel mill is the stock example Of
this work. At first, 1t might seem
that building new steel mill in
Brazil would be merely to set up
competitor to our steel industry.
But some further study showed
1t was better to ship to Brazil the
$25, 100000 worth Of machinery for
new mill. The simple fact was that
this mill could develop Brazilian
ores for Brazilian and U. s. con-
sumption. Thus, the extra burden
on u. s. mills, Of supplying U. s.
needs, plus Brazilian needs, would
be eliminated.
A final step in this control OF
exports Is the matter of requisl-
tioning. When supplies needed
for the war effort abroad are
found stacked up in warehouses,
awaiting shipment abroad, they
simply are seized under the war
power acts, and the matter Of
compensation is taken care Of
later.

MAY
(Conclusion)

This splendid month still fingers,
But it's passing slowly every day.
It is so much like speeding shadow,
And soon will all have passed away.
But we can watch the beauty
Which its passing brings along,
And hail with Joy the golden sunshine
Which comes here every morn:
We think Of all the beautiful flowers
Which are growing by the way.
And all those pleasant hours
We are passing every day.
It is such wonderful thing,
This pleasant month Of May.
All the birds are on the wing
And sing so sweety day by day.
The lettuce Is growing in the garden, too,
The sweet corn is top Of ground.
All this Is good for me and you,
Wherever we can be found.
Let us thank the gracious gver
For such wondrous scene
And ride down by the river
And view the splendid green.
So goodbye, all Of May,
Come back again some time
And we will hail that day.
You always seem 50 fne

Millions Sonnet

No one could give a more true
and inspiring answer TO those of
us who wait" than that, my
dear. And you'll never guess
how much comfort you'll send to
others who must go on as you
do, doing the same old chores"
Do you remember John Mil
tons sonnet on his blindness?
Day after day he saw the
shadows creeping over his eager
eyes, his searching soul. Until,
at last, he cried rebelliously to
his Maker, asking why he should
be so doomed to darkness when
he so longed TO spread the light.
And then that immortal answer
came:
God doth not need
Either mans cork or His oWn
gifts, who best
Bear His mild yoke, they serve
Him best, His state
Is Kmgly. Thousands OF His
OtuAtHH opttu
And post DER land and ocean
without rest:
They also serve who only
stand and wait.
They also serve"-that must
apply to thousands of us these
days. We who cannot cross the
seas or train in camps, or wear
Swank uniforms. We who are
too old TO stand beside an as
sembly line.
Yet we as truly keep the faith
as those who battle in Libya or
the SolomonS.
Remember that the Stars and
Stripes were as surely won by
those who bake the bread as by
those who fire the bullets.
America depends as surely on
Bingham aprons and overalls as
on gilt braid.
