The N*vy is taking steps to safe
guard its gasoline and fuel supplies
in the Pacific by providing adequate
storage facilities- At Pearl Harbor,
Honolulu, more than $2,000,000 will
be used to install underground gaso
line and oil tanks. Other projects,
recently announced, provide for stor
age facilities on Oahu Island and
Midway Island.

The Citisen's Military Training
Camps, which have annually trained
about 35,000 men, will be suspended
next summer because supplies and
equipment are needed for the Army's
intensive training program.
DIVE-BOMBERS
Powerful dive-bombers, said to
be "superior in performance" to those
now being used in Europe, are being
delivered in quantity to the Navy by
the Douglass Aircraft Company,
of California, according to Company
officials.
FOOD PRICES
Food prices, which rose suddenly
at the outbreak of the wax, subse
quently declined so that the Bureau
of Agrilultural Economics reports, at
the end of August, that they were
only slightly higher than in the
month immediately preceding the
war.
ARMY PLAYS HOST
The United States Army was host,
last week, to many South and Central
American military representatives
who are invited to visit the United
States in order to become acquainted
with the potential military might of
this country and to talk with our
Army leaders. The countries repre
sented included Argentina, Paragugy,
Peru, Bolivia, Colombia,- Uruguay
and Quatemala.
FLEET
With navy yards and private ship
building plants working at full capa
city, it is expected that more than
fifty warships will be added to the
Navy during the twelve months next,
including two 35,000-ton battleships,
thirty destroyers and submarines and
around twenty auxiliary ships, mine
sweepers, repair ships, submarine and
sea-plane tenders. It will be 1943
before the first of the new 45,000-ton
dreadnaughts will be "ready for ser
vice.
EXPORTS
Exports from the United States
during the first year of the European !
War, were about $1,000,000,000 ahead
of the corresponding period of 1938
39. The total of $4,000,000,000 has
not been exceeded in any comparable
period since 1929-30. j
COLLECTIONS
Internal Revenue collections for the
first two months of the fiscal year
which began on July 1st amounted
to $866,219,640. This is an increase
of $168,707,420 over the same period
of 1939.
ARMY HORSES
Army experts are convinced that
the horse continues to be a useful
component of a modern army. Con
sequently, plans call for the purchas
ing of 19,802, to augment the 17,000
now in service.

QUESTION; Bow much wheat
may be planted on a farm under the
AAA rule*?
ANSWER: As much as 10 acres
of wheat may be planted on any farm,
or if no wheat is sold from the farm,
three acres may be planted for sac^i
family on the farm, although this
amounts to more than 10 acres. -The
Triple-A encourages farmers to pro
due ample food and feed on their
farms.
QUESTION: What kind of fertili
zers should be bought for tobacco
plant beds? '
ANSWER: Tobacco plant bed fer
tilisers should contain 4 percent ni
trogen, 8 percent phosphoric acid,
and 3 percent potash. The addition
of one percent available magnesia
(will be beneficial in certain cases
and its inclusion is generally recom
mended by L. T. Weeks, Extension
tobaceo specialist. However, he says
that injury due to excess of chlorine
has been widely observed in tobacco
I plant beds. Since fertilizers are ap
j plied to plant beds in relatively large
'quantities, even a small percentage
of chlorine may cause injury. Only
such materials as are practically free
of chlorides should be used for mak
ing plant bed fertilizers.
QUESTION: When should lespe
deza seed be harvested?
ANSWER: The Common, Tennes
see 76, and Kobe varieties ripen for
seed about November 1 or at the first
killing frost. They should then be
harvested as soon as possible to
prevent losses from shattering, says
E. C. Blair, Extension agronomist.
Korean seed will remain on the stalk
five or six weeks after they mature,
t In fact, they do not loosen enough to
jpermit the use of a seed pan until
j three or four weeks after ripening.
[Korean usually matures early in
j October.

Looking at WasMngtovf;
(CwttoMd torn wkp.) ;
in hostilities with either, the others '
will automatieilly be involved. Cer
tainly, the signing of the treaty
makes official what many Americans 1
were sure of before. The actual ]
facts of the world situation remain (
essentially unchanged.
_ 1
? mm ? j
The purpose of the treaty between .
the waring nations is presumed to J
include a warning to this eountry. not 1
to participate'in the struggle now go- -
ing on in Europe and Asia. Probably 1
the signers hoped that it will tend tb 1
limit our assistance to Great Britain ^
and prevent future aid to China.
There is no indication, however, that
the policies of the United States will
be changed-and much, to suggest ;
that aid will be extended in larger
measure to both belligerents.
Certainly the pact has tended to
draw the United States aAd Great
Britain closer together in'the face of
a common danger. The probability
that an agreement will be worked
out. between the two democracies,
covering the joint use of naval bases
in the Pacific, has been increased.
Some discussion in this country as to
the possibility of sending the Ameri
cas fleet to the Far East, basing it
upon the British base at Singapore,
is regarded as premature. Embar
goes upon the shipment of oil, scrap
iron, steel and machine tools will be
come tighter and, if necessary, there
may be a ban upon the import of
Japanese silk into the United States.
Americans should not overlook
the warning that the pact implies in
regard to our own defense plans.
Certainly, if Germany, Italy and
Japan can bluff us and stop our
shipment of goods to Great Britain
or China, they will be encouraged, at
a later date, to attempt to check the
rearmament program now getting
underway. That this country is not
prepared for a major war is obvious
to foreigners as well as to our own
experts, but that our present defense
program will make the United States
a formidable power in a year or so is
also obvious to the entire world.
Meanwhile, additional. units of the
National Guard are being called into
training-, reserve officers are being
called up for service and preparations
are being rapidly completed for the
registration of the nation's manpow
er on October 16. Shipyards are
busy constructing now vessels for the
Navy, ordnance plants are working
at full speed and private industry is
beginning the long process of pre
paring for mass production of essen
tial supplies. ? ' .
Congress has appropriated the
money, but this is only the first
step, and many months will elapse
before the defense program really
gets underway. In about a year, the
ra-frgawiBaro
xation will have nearly a million and
i half trained soldiers and there i#
3 very reason to believe that they will ;
3nd ' the/ ndcessary equipment and t
supplies ready. W"-W%W .
jj It is apparent that the. coming
twelve months wffl .be the dancer
period for the United States. Until
lit defense program is well under
lay, the safety of this oountry de
fends, to a considerable degree, upon
the continued resistance of Great
Britain and,, to,a leaser degree, of
China. Consequently, it is inevita
ble that United States will do every
thing possible to insure continued re
sistance to Germany and Japan ag
gression.
If the British fleet meets with
disaster before we have time to arm
-
for defense, the nation will be in dire
peril, confronted by the three powers
which have signed the new treaty,
Germany, Italy and Japan, if freed
from their present wars, would be
able to punish this country severely,
and, according to some exp-Mts would
have a good chance, of winning a war
^gainst us. -
a
Facing the possibility of hostilities
on such a broad scale, the nation
moves feverishly to prepare defenses
adequate to insure the safety of the
United States, regardless of how
other wars turn out Nevertheless, it
is essential that we haver time and to
I ? ' / .
gain this time, it is imperative that
we extend large-scale assistance to
Great Britain and China.
