The Office of War Informa-
tion states that Japan, like its
Axis partner, Nazi Germany,
is systematically looting the
territorieo it conquers. The
OWI bases its statements on
messages gathered by the Fed-
eral Communications Com-
mission, which has a staff that
listens to foreign broadcasts.
In occupied China and in
Burma, as well as the Nether-
lands Indies, the Japanese
armies are followed by mer-
chants, industrialists, bankers,
and propagandists, as well as
large staffs of specially train-
ed civil servants, who rule the
newly acquired lands and ex-
ploit them for the benefit of
Tokyo.
The Japanese are careful to
maintain a semblance of self-
rule and so pick out a puppet
official for each region. Educa-
tion and religion are in charge
of teachers carefully prepared
for their tasks. A propaganda
of hate i3 put out with such
slogans as “Asia for the
Asiatics," meaning Asia for
the Japanese.
The Japanese have irvsnted
a “military currency system”
which makes existing currency
illegal. This is followed ap by
the issuing of new currency
based on rates favorable to
Japan, and then, with this
money, local goods are bought
in quantities to suit the needs
of the invaders. At Tanjong
Priok, the big assembly plant
of General Motors was taken
over, while the Goodyear Tire
and Bnbber factory in the
Netherlands Indies is now op-
erated by the Japan Tire Com-
pany. A large quinine corpo-
ration is now ran by the Japa-
nese Takacho Company.
A broadcast picked up from
Berlin states that Japan has
decreed government control
over staple foods. The Japa-
nese -Ministry of Agriculture
and Forestry has laid ont a
program for a long war.—

And they went every one
straight forward : whither the
spirit was to go, they want;
and they turned not when they
went.—Ezck. 1:12.

Dallas, July 81.—Beaching
into the junk heaps on the
747,696 farms of Texas. Okla-
homa and Louisiana, a new
and greatly intensified salvage
drive is being waged to in-
crease the flow of scrap metal
and rubber into the Nation’s
war plants.
“These three states are be-
ing expected to furnish a total
of 985,000 tons of scrap iron
and steel before the end of
this year,” said John L. Del-
linger, region conservation
manager, “and the farmers
and ranchers are being count-
ed on to supply a large
amount of this scrap mate-
rial."
Coincident with the harvest
of crops, farmers and ranch-
ers of the Southwest are asked
to harvest their scrap metal
and other junk from their
fence comers, gullies, pas-
tures, orchards, barns, yards
and too! sheds and take it to
their nearest community gin,
country store, schoolhouse,
filling station or church,
whichever has been designat-
ed as a collection depot in
their community by the rural
salvage committee. From these
concentration points, WPA
trucks and labor may be re-
quested to gather up the ma-
terial and take it to town,
where it will be bought by in-
dustry from scrap dealers at
established, government-con-
trolled prices.
In counties where there is no
organized salvage committee,
the county agricultural agent
or the county judge will have
information on local county
plans for scrap collection.
Farms have long been one

of scrap metals and other
waste materials, which are
now vitally needed by the na-
tion’s war industries. It is,
therefore, every farmer’s and
rancher’s patriotic duty to see
that these metals and other
waste materials, lying forgot-
ten on their farms, are made
available to the government.
Although scrap iron and steel
are the most important, other
metals, such as brass, copper,
zinc, lead and tin are needed.
Every ton of scrap iron
when mixed with other metal
at the smelter will make four
tons of steel. One old disc will
provide steel for 210 semi-au-
tomatic light carbines; one old
plow will make 100 seventy-
five millimeter armor-piercing
projectiles; one old shovel will
make four hand grenades.
These are needed to help win
the war.

FARMERS URGED TO
INCREASE WINTER
LEGUMES
College Station.—Growing
winter legumes will help Tex-
as fanners maintain their
peak productive strength.
Drawing on present soil
fertility without replacing
may result in declining food
and fiber production iator in
the war and post-war period
when most of the world will
be looking to America farm-
ers for food and clothing,
George Slaughter, chairman,
Texas AAA Committee said.
Planting winter legumes,
mainly vetches and winter
peas, is recognized as one of
the best methods of restoring
productive vigor to soils.
The seed lags also are need-
ed to replace nitrogenous fer-
tilizer which it being diverted
to manufacture of monitions.
The only effective substitute
for fertilizer diverted in this
manner, the AAA official ex-
plained, is the growing of le-
gumes that transfer nitrogen
from the air to the soil.
Present crop reports indi-
cate that seed production this
year will be more than twice
that of 1941 and supplies soon
will begin to move from the
Pacific Northwest to Southern
counties.
The Agricultural Adjust-
ment Agency, which long has
encouraged the planting of
winter legumes, already has
arranged for farmers partici-
pating in the program to ob-
tain seeds and pay for them
later out of payments earned
under the AAA program.
For the seeding of winter
legumes, cooperating farmers
can earn AAA payments
which practically cover the
cost of ths seed, Slaughter
said.
Fifty new business firms
were chartered in Texas dur-
ing June, capitalized at
$649,000 while only nine con-
cerns failed, involving liabili-
ties af $180,000, the Univer-
sity of Texas Bureau of Bad-
ness Research has revealed.

You’re in the Army now, Johnny.
Yoe’re risking your life for os at home.
We want yon to know we aren’t forgetting.
And that, small as our contribution is compared with yours,

Cross, U SO or whatever we’re individually equipped to do.
WET® OUT FOB VICTORY, JOHNNY, AND FOB YOU!
And there’s not one of us who doesn’t think of yon when pay
day comes and we save part of our pay in UE. Stamps and
Bonds. We’re not proud of it, Johnny—except that it helps
yon get the fighting equipment yon Med.
It’s just the least we can do, Johnny, but we’re doing it 100
percent.
