Hope is Pinned
On Canada Mills
For More Paper
BY DAVID CAMELON
Detroit Times Washington Bureau

~ WASHINGTON. Oct. 81 - The
Boren-Halleck special House COM
mittee reported progress today in
ats effort to insure sufficient in
c 'eased production Of newsprint
TO foreStall threatened drastic
cuts.
Rep. Lyle Boren OF Oklahoma,
chairman of the committee, an
nounced that the pulp and paper
division OF the War Production
Board has approved plans for the
shipment of wastepaper 10 idle
paper making machines in Canada,
a plan which. Boren said, marks
an apparent about face on the
part of the pulp and paper divi-
sion. Boren said:
'T don't want TO make n
mountain out of "A mole hill, or
give this development more inn
portance than IL deserves. IL is,
r however, n very marked step In
the right direction.
IDLE MACHINES UTILIZED
"Thc immediate case Is the
offer made by Col. X. X. Me-
Cormick of the Chicago Tribune,
20 utilize three idle machines In
3 reprocessing wastepaper Into
newsprint.
1.-The pulp and paper division.
q a A. n
has approved plan to take the
paper to the machines In Cam
ada, instead OF bringing the ma
chimes TO the United States.
This Will obviate delay. and
difficulty I'm the relocation OF
the machines.
Under the plan, Boren said, the
three idle machines, and probably
others. can be put 10 work
promptly manufacturing news
Jrint from waste without the con-
sumption OF any appreciate
amounts Of electrical power or
other critical material. Boren
added:
'Tn the face of serious cur
tailments Of newsprint con-
sumption now under considera-
ton, IL Is hoped that co-opera-
ton from Canada will help solve
this problem.
Sending the wastepaper 10 the
machines in Canada for process
sing. il was pointed out, would
involve the least, possible disrup-
ton of the Canadian pulpwood
and newSprint industry.
NAVY HAS 1000 CARLOADS
At the same time. Rep. Boren
revealed that the navy has APP
proximately 800 carloads OF
paper in storage. representing
more than a years supply, some
of which is being made available
for other government use
The paper was purchased dur
Ing 1913 for the fiscal year 1914,
Rear Adm. w. J. Carter informed
Rep. Boren. 1t was purchased
under a navy policy of accumulat-
ing a full years stock at one time.
That policy Adm. Carter said.
now has been changed and the
navy hereafter will only stock up
for six months ahead.
Much Of the paper has been
made available for the public
printer, the admiral assured
Boren. and more of II will be
turned over TO other government
use in the near future.

. Talking Underground

Among the foremost of notable achieve
ments in 1912 must be placed the compile
tion of the underground telephone line
from Omaha, Neb, to Sacramento. Cal.
When the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company started three years ago to
lay 1000 miles of underground cable
there was some doubt as to when the job
would be finished Five years was con-
sidered close estimate, but the work was
accelerated by the 1889 indications that
the United States might be directly in
volved in the war.
The Omaha-Sacramento project is no.
table for more seasons than one. To lay
that much cable in three years was major
accomplishment but along with that was
the development of improved means of
transmission.
Though we still talk over some open
wires on poles and will continue to do so for
many year, the engineers have been us
ing more and more sheathed cable and
more carrier current even for overhead
lines. The Omaha-Sacramento circuit con-
sists not of one but of two such sheathed
cables to avoid what is know as Gross
talk for one-way transmission in either
direction. 1t is possible to carry on twelve
conversations at once, with an enormous
saving in copper at time when we need
it badly.
We now have five transcontinental
cables. Their military and civilian advan-
tages are hardly to be separated. If bad
weather should make it impossible to talk
across the continent by one route other
routes are available. Telephone service is
more dependable, more flexible than ever.
Without the cables and carrier cilrreut II
would be impossible to conduct business
over the telephone more or less as usual.
With the evidence of what has been done
in the past. ii is bewilderlng to even try to
think of what is due in the means of COM
munication in the future. Once upon a
time we marveled when it was suggested
that telephone and telegraph wires be put
underground. With completion of the
Omaha-Sacramento project that now be-
comes almost commonplace.

As We go into the New Year one of the
most serious problems facing the United
States is food. We have done good job
on the armament front and i'm breaking
world records in ship and airplane pro-
duction. On the food front we are pretty
weak-considering the demands that are
going TO be made on Us in 1913 and prob
ably on into the next year
The fact that food has to be ratiOned
IN the richest country in the world was
brought home 10 US with shock when
the government began passing out coupons
on which we could obtain few pounds Of
sugar. We were still in daze when al
most overnight, our stocks of butter disap-
peared. We were astounded when certain
fruits and vegetables began to disappear
from the market stands and the family
meat market would sell only half a pound
of bacon to customer.
Ii didn't make sense. Only a few years
ago there was so much food in this country
that we had TO limit production and even
pay farmers to keep their land idle.
That picture has changed completely.
The United States has an army of little
more than 100000 men who are produc-
ing nothing. They must be provided with
sufficient quantities of the best food to
keep them fit. for the job they must do.
Many of themNare eating more and better
food than they ever did in civilian life.
Besides feeding the army-whch next
year will be a great deal larger-on the
United States has been placed the burden
of feeding the starving nations of the
world. We must send food to the allies
who are fighting the Axis forces in other
lands. As'our own troops push forward on
front that is becoming wider every day,
we must provide food for the nations that
have been devasted by several years of
war and through whose lands we pass.
The promise of food is bringing to our
armies all the strength that is left in
some of those countries.
On the food front we are like the United
Nations were on the military front-too
little too late We permitted farm labor
to be attracted by the magnet of high
wages in war industry Our whole agri-
cultural economy broke down. Not until
we are faced with a serious food shortage
have we taken serious steps to repair the
damage
A proclamation issued by Gov. Arthur
Langlie has designated January as Farm
Front Month" Beginning next Tuesday
there is to be mobilization of the farm
forces of the state. An attempt will be
made to reach goals set by the govern
ment as necessary if sufficient quantities
of essential foods are to he produced.
Emphasis will be placed on foods needed
by our own armed forces, the allied armies
and the devasted nations as they are res
cued from Axis rule.
There is no question about the response
of the farmers to this call. The farmer al
ways has done his share and more. But
the farmer must have help to pillow his
fields, harvest the crops and care for the
live stock for which there is an increasing
