 for another year. Unless the Red Army holds now, we lose cur one chance to win the war in a reasona- ble future with reasonable sacrifice
 There has been waste talk of how Russia's spaces and man. power were unbeatable. That talk has blinked the fact that the value of manpower depends upon it's equipment which depends upon whether the space held can produce the equipment. And all ready so much of such productive space has been lost that Russia is appealing to us for equipment and food, and soon may be appealing for oil.
 DRIVE FOR OIL"
 IS MISLEADING
 The present Nazi offensive is labeled "Hitler's drive for oil" That is misleading. If he got the Caucasus and Near East oil fields he wouldn't get much oil for a year, but he woul dinstantly stop the United Nations from getting 1t. Therefore, his true objective

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, July 20. (UP)-The agriculture department announced today that its research laboratory in Peoria, H., has developed a short, economical process for mak- ing butlyene glycol-an important factor in the production of synthe- tic rubber from farm products.
 Chemists have succeeded in pro- ducing in the labortory excellent yields of pure butadiene-f, om which synthetic rubber is made from corun- made butlylene glycol, the department said in an arl- nouncement issued through the of- flee of war information. Until the process is developed to a pilot plant" or semi-commercial, scale, the department chemists are mak- ing no predictions.
 Butylene glycol Is a relatively rare chemical with several vital war uses It also is used in the manufacture of anti-freeze and commercial sol- vents.
 The departments new process Tor its production involves the fermen- tation of farm crops, such as corn and wheat. It already is being pro- duced on a semi-commercial scale.
 Three steps would be involved in the production of rubber from farm crops by this methcd-raw agricul- tural material to butylene glycol, butlylene glycol to butadiene, and butadiene to rubber. The last step already is known. The major prob- lem remaining is conversion of buty- lene glycol to butadiene on a conl- mercial scale.
 Cheap Rubber Already Made
 One of the laboratory officials said the process means that i've have succeeded in making 8 cheap rub ber-like substance from Soybean and

is to take the oil away from the Russians, rather than to get it for himself.
 Caucasus oil is at least 75 per- cent of Russia's total supply for its mechanized army and tractor ized farms. But ask the U-boats how much more oil we could send Russia if the United Nations lost the Caucasus, Basra and the Per- sian Gulf!
 Basra supplies especially precious octane gas not only to Russia, but to the Middle East and Africa. Also is loss would jeopardize communications b ship and air ferry to India, China and Russia. Russia's southern flank would be turned. And above all, Germany would be linked to Japan's new won wealth.
 Hoping for the best, we are strengthening the bases and oil refineries we and the British have built at Basra, but the upshot lies in Russia.

Good Evening.
THE OAKS OF YESTERDAY

 I spent sultry Sabbath day
 Amidst the oaks and pines, And retrospective thought held sway
 That patterned mind designs, yisioned trees of long ago,
 They marched as in review, The giant oaks Earth used to know
 Here in profusion grew. They sheltered with their outstretched arms The men of yesterday, And refuge gave from war alarms,
 Held clements at bay, Their frosted tops in Winters rime
 Bespoke their length of years
 And scorned to bow to fears. But time inexorable brought low
 These proud and noble trees As 1t doth all things overthrow,
 Iris nature that decrees, So I, like oaks of yesterday,
 Though proud, self-willed and strong Must to another age give way
 And to the Past belong. I only pray that I might hold
 My place against the sky Until garner sunrise gold
 To leave to such as Who'll visit forests yet to be
 And seek from care Surcease, Some memory of love mad me
 That will bring inner peace.
