I know that I don't need to urge
you to take part in this collection
drive. All you need to know is
the place to take your rubber and
the time to take it there-and the
fact that your country needs it.
We do not want you to turn In
essential rubber that you need in
your daily life-rubber you will
have to replace by buying new
things in the store. We do want
every bit of rubber you can possibly
spare-and in any quantity-less
than a pound-many pounds. We
want it in every form-old tires,
old rubber raincoats, old garden
hose, rubber shoes. bathing caps,
gloves-whatever you have that is
made of rubber. II you think it is
rubber, take 1t to your nearest filling
station.
Two Rules Offered.
Once the rubber Is in, we will
know what our supplies of used
rubber are and we will make our
plans accordingly One thing you
can be sure of-we are going to see
to it that there is enough rubber
to build the planes to bomb Toxic
and Berlin-enough rubber to build
the tanks to crush the enemy
wherever we may find him-enough
rubber to win this war.
Here are two simple rules for this
rubber emergency:
l. Turn in all the old rubber
anywhere and everywhere.
2. Cut the use of your car-save
its tires by driving slowly and driv-
ing less.

country.
want to talk to you about rub
ber-about rubber and the war
about rubber and the American
people.
When I say rubber I mean rub
ber. I don't mean gasoline. Gaso-
line is serious problem only in
certain sections of the country.
But rubber is a problem every
where-from one end of the coun-
try to the other-in the Mississippi
Valley as well as in the East-in
the oil country as well as in the
corn country or the iron country
or the great industrial centers.
Rubber is a problem for this rea-
son-because modern wars cannot
be won without rubber and because
90 per cent of our normal supply
of rubber has been cut of by the
Japanese.
Situation Called Serious.
That is serious. 1t would be
more serious if we had not built up
a stock pile of rubber before the
war started: If we were not now
building up a great new synthetic
rubber industry That takes time,
so we have an immediate need.
Neither the stock pile, nor the
synthetic plants which are now be-
ing built. nor both together, will
be enough to provide for the needs
of our great new Army and Navy
plus our civilian requirements as
they now exist
The Armed Services have done
what they can. They have elimi-
mated rubber wherever possible
The Army, for example. has had to
replace rubber treads with less ef-
ficient steel treads on many of its
tanks. Army and Navy estimates
of use of rubber have had to be
curtailed all along the line.
But there is a limit to that.
You and I want the finest and
most efficient Army and Navy the
world has ever seen-an Army and
Navy with the greatest and swift
est striking power. That means
rubber-huge quantities of rubber
rubber for trucks and tanks and
planes and gun mounts-rubber for
gas masks and rubber for landing
boats.
But it is not the Army and Navy
alone which need rubber. The
process of production also needs
rubber. We need rubber to get our
war workers back and forth to their
plants-some of them far from
workers homes. We need rubber
to keep our essential goods and
supplies moving.
CHALLENGE to Nation.
All this ADDS up to a very seri-
Gus problem-a problem which is a
challenge to the sound judgment
of the Government and to the in
genuity of the American people
II is a problem We Americans are
laboring to solve-a problem We will
solve.
But there is one unknown factor
in this problem. We know what
our stock pile is. We know what
our synthetic capacity will be. But
we do not know how much used
rubber there is in the country

reprocessed. can be combined with
