SALVAGE GROUP
PLAN FOR DRIVE
Committee Met Last Night to
Plan Details With Chair
man for Future Plans
APPEAL TO FARMERS

The huge task of assembling all
unserviceable surplus metal objects
in the vicinity of Smyrna and mar
keting this material for use in both
war and essential civilian indus
tries, is now getting under way.
The Smyrna Salvage Committee,
which is working in close coopera-
ton with the War Production
Board, met at the home of George
R. Miller, Jr., last night to discuss
the formation of various sub-com-
mittees, the ALLEGATION of zones and
territories, procurement of trans
portation facilities and equipment,
and many other details incidental
to the coming scrap drive.
Interest to Farmers
'Of special interest to farmers is
the fact that each piece of discard
ed machinery, parts of machines or
any piece of scrap iron that is con-
tributed to the drive, will make it
possible for the War Production
Board to allocate more scrap iron
to the manufacture of new farm
machinery" said John Herholdt,
chairman of the Smyrna Salvage
Committee. "In addition to helping
the nation win the war in the very
near future, these pieces of scrap
iron will also make it possible to
manufacture more farm machinery
so urgently needed" he added.
Appeal For Old Parts
Farmers should realize that re-
pair parts for the older and more
absolete machinery are not being
manufactured to any extent at
present. The only parts being
made today are those for which the
demand is the greatest. Scrap iron
is needed for these parts too. Also
the repairmen and mechanics are
completely showed under with
work, and may never be able to
spare the time to repair the ma
chine that has not been in use for
a number of years. The war will
be over and new, improved machin-
cry will be on the market before
much of the obsolete machinery can
be repaired. This type of machin-
cry should be put on the scrap pile
right now, and made into new ma
chimes and war materials, both OF
which we can not do without"
Truck Will Collect
Each farmer should stop to
think about the places on his farm
where he may have left an old disc
drag, or part of some such tool
Maybe it was left there before he
moved on the farm. Any old piece
of iron should be picked up wher
possible and brought to the house
or the end of the lane. Here the
scrap truck can easily and quickly
collect it. Remember, the soldier
the War Production Board and the
machinery manufacturer will ap'
preciate everything that each per.
son can do to get all scrap meta
on the pile. 1t will bring the wal
to an early close, and put new ma
chinery in the fields. What coulo
be more wonderful than to have the
boy back home this fall and have
new machinery for them to work
with, in place of guns ?"

gasoline and rubber rationing and
the increasingly exacting duties on
their own farms to complete sue
cessfully this important prelimin-
ary to the 1943 AAA campaign of

duction our farm population has
its patriotism, its in

1uft Asks Tariffs
As Prosperity Key
Free Trade Won't Work.
Senator States In Speech
On mckinley Anniversary

Niles, Ohio. Prosperity and full
employment in the United States after
the war can be brought about only by
the encouragement and full develop
ment of private enterprise, protected
by reasonable" tariff barrier, Sena-
tor Robert A. Taft said in an address
on the Tooth anniversary of the birth
of President Mckinley.
Speaking at McKinley's birthplace,
Senator Taft charged that the New
Deal "has completely ignored and
largely destroyed" the system of pri-
vate incentive ON which America S
wealth was based and urged Il return
to what he called 1.-The old method of
restoring prosperity"
"The capital is full of planners of all
kinds" he said. "Every economic pan
acea any lOng-haired crank ever
thought of is being busted off and in
cOrporated in magnificent collection
of glittering landscapes supposed to
lead to Utopia. Nearly every one of
them rests on the huge expenditure of
government money, without telling us
where the money is coming from, when
we already face debt of more than
200 billion dollars.
"If we do not develop a constructive
plan of our own, the country is likely
to drift into policies which can only
mean bankruptcy, the destruction of
private savings and l believe the end
of nf
have known it,
Assails Free-Trade Pleas
Senator Taft attacked the policy of
complete free-trade throughout the
world after the war, apparently ad-
vocated, he said, by Vice President
Wallace, Wendell L. Willkie and
others. Such policy, he contended,
would destroy any hope that private
industry might put the people of the
country back to work in the postwar
period.
"How can the American workman
compete with wages running from one
half in England to one-twentieth in
some Far Eastern countries when
American machinery can be taken to
any one of those countries and men
taught to do excellent work in u
reasonably short time?" he asked.
"A free trade policy extending
throughout the. world might improve
the standard of living of the Chinese,
but it would certainly drag down the
standard of living of the American
,n,,-, ,;,,lx-
the price of American farm products.
A reasonable tariff policy is an essen
tial part of prosperity in the postwar
world. Without it we will have neither
industry, nor agriculture, nor labor;
nor will we have the materials and
industries necessary to protect our
selves if war should ever come again."
