Three-Fourths Of Imports Are Necessary

Stockpiles Intended

As Insurance Policy By JIM G. LUCAS

port a major war by itself. World wars I and II blasted the illusion that we are self-sufficient. Pearl Harbor found us critically short in basic war materials. It was too’ late then to start stockpiling. But army and navy planners hope never again will be caught in that position. The interior department, after a five-year study, says the foundation of our industrial economy is “assured for many decades.” We are, it reports, exceptionally well off in coal and reasonably well off in iron ore, so “the neon is not confronted with a s&rcity of raw materials which could threaten the basic security of our steel industry.” On the other hand, the war took a heavy toll on natural resources. Post-war recovery demands from Europe and Asia have kept exports abnormally high. : Lack Many Resources

The army-navy munitions board has found we must depend on foreign sources for all our antimony, asbestos, chrome, columbite, corundum, industrial diamonds, emetine, graphite, hyoscine, jewel bearings, kyanite, monozite, nickel, opium, pepper, metals of the platinum group, pyrethrum, quartz, quebracho, quinidine, quinine, rubber, talc, shellac, tantaline, tin and zircon. We import 35 per cent of our mica. "We get 90 per cent of our beryl, bauxite, iodine, metallurigical manganese from foreign sources. We buy 80 per cent of our bismuth, cadmium and rutile. Moreover, W. John Kenney, assistant secretary of navy and a member of the munitions board, says 73 per cent of our imports are necessities, If 10 per cent fails to get through, it ties up our economy.

If we don’t get manganese, we can’t produce steel. Fourteen pounds of manganese go into every ton of steel. . In all, 40 commodities, produced in 57 countries, go into American steel. But while we are building stockpiles, others are already amply supplied. Mr. Kenney reports Russia has ‘a reserve of 15 billion tons. Rubber Shortage Severe We are critically short of rubber. On Pearl Harbor day we had 500,000 tons. Today we have 180,000 tons. Rep. Dewey Short (R. Mo.) on July 19 warned the board: “It is high

Without them, we can't have jet propulsion, The principal supplies are in Africa and Asia. Columbite, in particular, has been hard to find. The board is buying what it can. Our petroleum reserves are * ghrinking. President Truman has asked a special commission ‘to investigate. Civilian demands are higher than before the war. The navy's explorations in Alaska so far have brought no more than a promise. Even if we find new sources, storage will be a serious! problem. Experts admit they don't know the answer.

Manila Needs Two Years We are critically short of manila fiber. The war hurt the productive capacity of the Philippines. Supplies have begun to come in,! but so far can’t satisfy civilian demands. It is estimated it will be two years before the Philippines industry is on its feet. Sisal is a substitute, but the Mexican and Cuban governments have established a virtual monopoly on their supplies. Our imports from Mexico last year were nine million tons. The prewar average was 20 million tons. We are now looking toward Guatemala, Honduras and Costa! Rica, where we subsidized hemp plantations during the war, Rear Adm. R. W.

Disabled Veteran Handed Overdue $6000, Fears the Bigger Sum Would Be a Bother

Press Staff Correspondent

BOSTON, July 26.—~James E. Dever, 60, was worried today for fear the government would give him $10,000. He already had $6000 in gove ernment checks, and he didn't know what to do with it. Mr. Dever discovered in one night that high living wasn't for him, Immediately after receiving $6000 in disability checks owed him from world war I, he checked in at swanky hotel.

The next day he retumed to the $2.50-a-week room. he occupied as a messenger, when his salary was $25 weekly. Too Much Attention “They're mighty nice at the hotel,” he said. “But everybody's always waiting on you and rushing around and all. I like things quiet and easy-going” |, | Mr. Dever found out seven years ago that he was entitled to dise ability payments. But he wasn't much interested. He left Boston without leaving any forwarding ade dress. The veterans administration caught up with him this week and persuaded him to take the money. Now, interested friends have filed suit in federal court to get whas they called “a sizable’ piece” of $10,« 000 war risk insurance due the navy veteran,

I can raise chickens, or dogs, or may be some pigeons. Might even get married.” Relative Loses Suit

One of Mr. Devers distang relatives sought to have the fugitive from a bankroll declared legally dead during the seven years he eluded the Veterans Administration, But the VA fought the suit, He was alive, the government cone tended, and if he wanted to take his time collecting his money thas was his business, : The VA won the case and one of its operatives tracked Mr. Dever to a South End firm where he was a messenger.” °° ’.
