That means three years supply of one of the most important strategic raw materials. Why the treasury vault? Simply because opium is very likely to get away if stored in private warehouses. The pressure for obtaining it is so. great that it might slip through private hands, however closely guarded. But in public hands, in the treasurys own vaults, it will be there when needed. The Washington Yet this priceless supply was secured by private dealers. Several drug companies put up $1,000,000 apiece to buy it, at the governments behest. It is a fine example of cooperation between the government and private agencies. The government saw a public need for a reserve stock of this necessary ding. The private companies went out and bought it. And the government stores it for such use, public or private, as may be found necessary for the public good. Eight million ounces of quinine have been added to reserve stocks against some emergency which might interfere with normal supply. By DREW PEARSON Merry-Go-Rou- nd and ROBERT S.

SKILLETS FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE Defense production naturally first call, but defense gets pioduction in aluminum can mean manufacture at soup kettles for aimy field kitchens or pots and pans for navy destroyers or mro kits for both. Therefore, after defense industries have hud their quotas aiioted, whatever is Utt will be divided up proportionately among other industries In this connection, it should be borne in mind that the and grades of soft aluminum whig'u go into pots und pans are no good for the or grades of hard aluminum or alloys which go into the manufacture of aircraft and engines. lo throw the entire aluminum utensil industry or any other similar industry out of business ngbt now would be the height of folly. It would throw tens or thousand of workers out of jobs and the economic upset thereoy suddenly cieated would be lmpossiole to rectify in months. Ihe plants could not be adapted to war work, for they are tooled to handle soft metal and couldn't begin to stamp out airplane parts of hard alloys. One trouble is that aluminum to most people means only pots and pans. England went through this experience, when it began to feel and aluminum shortage and somebody started a great crusade to have housewives give their cooking utensils to the government tor the good of the cause. Scrap piles rose to make good pictures and propaganda, but the metal was no good for pistons or crank cases, so it was melted down and made into new pots and pans. The point of all this is that if an hysteria of this kind can be created over aluminum, it can happen to long woolen underwear, or shoes, or hamburger. Later on, there may be calls tor sacrifices, and shortages which will mean higher prices. In the face of that, business as usual can't go on forever, but as Harriet Elliott, chairman of the consumer division in the has defense commission, pointed out, consumer rumor is a needless epidemic, for at present there is no danger of shortages in the necessities of life.
