Naval Gonvovs Are The Answer
The depredations of German U-boats in American
waters constitute a serious threat to successful trans
portation of supplies and munitions to the fighting
fronts. There is no use for .Americans to minimize the
danger. Estimates of the number of vessels sunk vary
but they total hundreds. The German raiders have
prowled close to American harbors, paying particular
attention of unconvoyed shipping. They have scored
successes in the Gulf of Mexico, the mouth of the
Mississippi, the Gulf of the St. Lawrence and all along
the eastern coast.
With the battle of oroduction won, American indus
try is turning out the implements of war at an amaz
ing speed. Already there are hints of supplies piling
up, awaiting the necessary ships for transportation to
the fighting fronts. Encouraging is the production of
merchants ships to replace those lost, but this is, at
best, an expensive and discouraging method of fight
ing the U-boats.
The favorite defense against submarine warfare is
the naval convoy. This system beat the U-boat threat
in the first World War and is operating successfully
in the present struggle. The Navy’s attention has been
centered upon the North Atlantic route to Britain, and
on to Russia, and the longer route to Australia. In both
oceans, troop transports have been moved without the
Joss of a ship or man. and supply ships have delivered
the goods to the fighting fronts without appreciable
loss.
American officials are confident that as soon as ade
quate warships are available to instiute the convoy
system the peril will come to an end.
That’s one of the chief reasons for the high Naval
appropriation in recent weeks.—Juneau Empire.
We see where mosquitos have been found as high
up as 5.000 feet. However, aviators at least are one
class who don’t find them on their ceiling.

About I be Shortage of Natural
Rubber Sources in The U. S.
WASHINGTON — While the
nation has been contributing
garden hose, baby nippies and
auto mats to the rubber salvage
campa.gn, some Washington
bureaucrats seem only half
awake in trying to develop
sources of new natural rubber.
Six months now have passed
since Pearl Harbor, and priceless
time has been frittered away in
getting rubber workers started
in the jungles of the Amazon.
During the Pan American Con
ference last January, l'. S. ex
perts dickered o.ver prices but
did almost nothing toward start
ing an army of rubber workers
up the Amazon.
And after the Rio conference,
more precious time was wasted
while the State Department and
the Bureau of Economic Warfare
haggle I iver who should handle
the rubber program in South
America.
A- a result of all these delays,
<i iipled with Brazilian ship sink
ings, tin* unfortunate fact is that
only 500 tops of rubber were im
ported from Brazil in April, and
oniy 10,000 tons are expected dut
irg the whole of 1042. And the
armed forces, plus bare civilian
needs, will require around
800.000 tons.
Finally, a hybrid working ar
rangement has been patched up
between Jesse Jones, the State 1
Department and the BEW, which
still leaves Jesse Jones’ Rubber
Reserve, the outfit which was so
short-sighted last year, virtually
with final control.
Russian Rubber
Meanwhile, it hats been reveal
ed that experts of the Agrieul-,
tural Department had been sitt
ing on two kinds of natural rub
her which can be giowri in the
southern Un ted States and Mi x- ,
ico. Filed away among the learn
ed tomes of the Department’s
scientists are reports on kok
saigyz and cryptostegia, both
quick-growing rubber plants.
But the Department of Atricul
ture scientists had been doing
'very little about them.
In contrast, the Russians in
1041 planted the amazing total
of 5.000.000 acres of kok-sagyz,
which grows in temperate cli
mates. Being more farsighted
than Jesse Jones, they foresaw
the possibility of war with Jap
an and loss of rubber sources.
After Pearl Harbor the United
States gathered up all the kok
sagyz seed it could gel from
Ru-sia and flew it here by plane,
and it is now planted. Rut the
amount of seed we could get was
limited.
Meanwhile, a botanist in
Brownsville, Tex., named Peter
Heinz was bombarding Jesse
Jones, various rubber experts
and almost every member of Con
gress with letters pointing to a
rubber weed called cryptostegia,
which grows in Mexico, Haiti,
southern California and Florida.
The letters which Heinz sent to
Washington constitute a file more
than a foot high. But nobody
would listen to him.
It should be said for the Agri
culture Department that ever
since 1922 its experts have been
asking Congress for money to ex
periment with natural rubber
j yielding plants. But Congress ap
I preprinted only infinitesimal
amounts.
On the other hand. Agriculture
Department experts certainly
were not on their toes regarding
i cryptostegia. For as Late of Jan.
5, 1942. one month after Pearl
Harbor, they published a very
discouraging report on its pos
sibilities.
Red Tape Unwinder
The man who finally blasted
cryptostegia out into the open
was Miles Sherover, assistant
! rubber chief of the Bureau of
1 Economic Warfare, who had pre
, vi hi sly organized rubber fiactor
I ies in Chile and Venezuela.
■ He pointed out that despite the
billion d 'liars being spent by
Jesse Jones on synthetic rubber,
and despite all we could scrape
together in the Amazon, the na
i tion would be at least half a
million tons short.
