Entered «• second-class matter December 6, 1937, at
the poet office at Newberry, South Carolina, under the
Act of March 3, 1879.
National rationing of gasoline, as
recomtr.e.i icj by the Baruch Commit
tee, is not proposed because there is
a shortage of motor fuel. To the
contrary, there is an abundance of
gasoline of all ordinary grades, and
in the producing area the oil com
panies are hardput for storage facili
ties. Gasoline rationing is to be im
posed, instead, to save rubber—and
to save rail and water transportation
facilities for other uses.
At the present time, gasoline is
rationed in 7 Eastern states. Ac
cording to Leon Henderson, it will
be extended to the balance of the
country on precisely the same basis.
That means that the average motor
ist will be entitled to four gallons
■weekly—enough to carry him about
SO miles. Supplemental allowances
are given to “essential” drivers.
Practically all pleasure driving will
be eliminated for the duration.
The effects of this will be felt
most severely in *hc West. In the
East, with great cities and heavily
concentrated populations, the motor
eei has not been nearly so necessary
as it is in the West, where distances
are vast and cities are few and far
between. Furthermore, public trans
portation has naturally attained a
higher state of development in the
big-population areas. The street _ir
and bus systems, outside of the lar
gest cities, are simply not adequate
to handle the load that has long been
carried by private automobiles.
Drastic restrictions on automobile
use will work a veritable revolution
in this nation. West of the Missis
sippi, where distances are great and
interurban transportation limited, no
one can estimate the effect of the
slow-down hat will occur. The motor
car dominated our fashion of living
ever since the First World War. To
millions of people, the family car is
practically as necessary as food and
shelter. During the twenties and
thirties, there was an ever-increasing
migration away from towns and
cities into suburbs. Men and women
lived ten or twenty or more miles
from their places of business. Just
how these people will get back and
forth now that car operation is to
be cut to the bone, is an unanswered
question. It is impossible for them
to move clear to their jobs, for the
reason that there are severe housing
shortages in all areas which have
war industries of any kind.
The desirable solution to this prob
lem is to produce enough artificial
rubber to keep our cars moving. But
it seems impossible to find out just
how well or badly the synthetic rub
ber program is doing. The oil indus
try is making progress in the manu
facture of rubber from oil derivatives.
The tire companies say that they can
produce tires from reclaimed rubber
which will give fair service if driven
slowly. A start is being made to
produce another kind of synthetic
rubber from grain alcohol However,
there seems little question but what
the program in general is still mov
ing too slowly—and that is largely
the fault of the government No two
high public officials have been able
to agree on just what should be done.
As a result, it will probably be a long
time before anything resembling even
an emergency supply of rubber is
available for civilians.
Within the next year,without rub
ber, transportation problem will be
come acute. Tires are really begin
ning to wear out in volume now, and
more and more cars are going into
dead storage for lack of rubber. This
is going to hit farm production in a
critical manner. Street car and bus
companies are doing the best job pos
sible, for the most part, but they sim
ply haven’t enough rolling stock to
meet the need. Interurban trans
portation was abandoned long ago in
many parts of the country, and the
tracks were torn up. We in America
depend almost entirely on the motor
car for short-haul transport. So the
lack of rubber remains our Number
One domestic problem.
The argument goes merrily on be
tween the air-power enthusiasts and
those who think that the airplane,
vital as it is, can’t win a war alone.
Such persuasive friends of the
plane as Major de Severskv are con
vinced that if the United Nations
could build and keep in operation
enough planes, Germany and Japan
could be literally obliterated from
the skies—and that major land op
erations would thus be unnecessary.
The fact that the airplane has not
yet proven a decisive weapon means
nothing in their opinion-—because no
nation has as yet been able to keep
up air attacks on the scale neces
sary.
The majority of military experts
don’t go as far as this. They argue
that relatively few of the bombs
dropped by planes ever hit impor
tant objectives, and that the damage
done can, as a rule, be swiftly reme
died. They point out that constant
progress is being made in air defense
—such as camouflage, anti-aircraft
guns and fighter planes. They think
that the airplane can do an all-im
portant job in “softening up” an
enemy and in disrupting his supply
lines—-but that it will be up to navies
and armies to finish the job.
No one can say with certainty
which side is right. In the mean
time, the United Nations’ high com
mand continues to prepare for a
grand-scale invasion of Europe. If
that invasion is to succeed, they
figure, at least a million superbly-
equipped ighting men must be land
ed—and there must be another mil
lion in reserve. This, when it hap
pens, will be the greatest military
operation in history.

A most enjoyable meeting of the
