During the last six months 49,
100000 tons of scrap was collected
during the next six months WPB
hopes to bring in 17,500,000 tons.
This would provide full-time pro-

Officials said there Is enough
iron and steel on American farms

Times and means of making war
have changed but Russian dis

Russian climate continues a dread
menace to invaders. During the
winter just passed, the climate
took heavy toll of the Nazis and

Grave Problem
Facing Destruction
If Rommel Succeeds
in Drive Into Egypt
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
In.l New. Service stan Correspondent


WASHINGTON, July II. - A
diplomatic deadlock today APP
peared to be developing between
Vichy France on the one hand and
Great Britain and the United
States on the other concerning
disposition of the demilitarized
French naval squadron at Alex
andria.
Vichy has notified the United
States it is unable to authorize
removal of the French warships
from Alexandria to American OF
British ports.
The French government has
suggested the warships be per-
mitted to proceed to a French
port with the understanding that
they would not be turned over
to the Axis. Great Britain re-
fuses TO agree TO this move.
Likely to Stay There
AS a result, the French war.
ships will probably continue tc
remain in Alexandria.
If the Axis forces Of German
Gen. Field Marshal Erwin Rom
mel should break through the
British desert defenses anC
threaten to occupy Alexandria, thu
problem of the French nava
squadron will likely create a new
crisis in Anglo-American rela
tons with Vichy.
i In such an event, the British
would probably give the Frencl
warships the alternative of leav
ing Alexandria quickly unde
escort for a United Nations por
or being sunk-probably by aeria
torpedoes.

Uses jap Strategy

Now, he seems to be taking a
leaf from the book of his japanese
allies and is apparently striking
for oil. the black gold that keeps
the wheels of war turning. Rus
sia's oil fields In the Caucasus
produce an estimated 80 per cent
Of all the Soviets' oil. Tukachev-
sky pointed out the menace OF
this concentration more than a
dozen years ago. The modern
Russian state prides itself on be-
ing supremely mechanical. but,
without liberal oil supply
mechanical vehicles cannot move
and airplanes can't get of the
ground.
: Menace OF the present Nazi Of
lensive is that IL is aimed directly
at the bottleneck through which
most OF Russia's oil must pass to
reach her armies and cities. Al
ready Hitler's forces have moved
forward more than 120 miles on a
front 100 miles broad towards the
OIL jugular.
