THE SCRAP FOR SCRAP
Japan is convinced that thi United States is serious
about cutting off sales of scrap iron. That is clear from
the frantic efforts she is making to buy it up in every
comer of the world.
Japanese interests ur3 bidding deseprately, for in-
stance, for 150,000 tons of scrap to be sold by the Mexican
railway and oil administration . Many Americans have
managed to drum up considerable indignation that Mexico
vmld presume to consider such a sale now that the
bnited States has embargoed it.
Mexicans will get a laugh out of that, because of
more than 21,500,000 tons df scrap iron and steel ex-
ported from the United States since 198S, more than half
went to Japan. A country which has sent ten million
tons of this essential war material to Japan can scarcely
criticise a neighbor country which negotiates for the
s*le of a mere 150,000 tons. It is even unlikely that so
much will actually be sold.
As a matter of fact, the deal is nothing to worry
about anyway. Mexico has no great amount of such
supplies. The scrap now being sold by the Mexican rail-
way and oil administrations has probably been accumula-
ting for years. There isn't any more, and there isn't
likely to be. It simply means that Japan is scraping the
bottom of the barrel in its frantic search for more bombs
to dump on the Chinese.
More important is the possibility that Mexico will
sell increasing quantities of oil and aviation gasoline to
the Japanese. At present it is selling around 200,000
barrels a month, and there are desperate efforts to
this. The grant of an exploratory oil concession
Japanese interests on the Gulf Coast is interesting,
Eh concession could readily be developed in
on the Chinese war unless Japan thinks
i going to last a long, long time.
and antimony are also being sold in Mexico
wWch send thenn to Japan, there
it is a perfectly legal trade, and
United States can do to prevent it
buy the materials itself.
. i long as the controversy over the expropriation
S American oil properties in Mexico continues unadjust-
, it seems likely that Mexico must continue to sell
what it can where it can. This pressing problem seems
certain to be a legacy to the incoming Avila Camacho
regime in Mexico and to whatever administration is in
offtoe here after Jan. 20.

BUILDING AN ISLAND
Uncle Sam is not merely searching the waters for
islands available in defense, but is building one.
Responding promptly to the recent crisis which exposed
the French islands of Guadalupe and Martinique to
Nazi occupation, the United States started a vigorous
defensive campaign in the whole Caribbean area. The
Panama Canal is a direct objective of many activities.
There is vast American importance in the chain of islands
extending from Puerto Rico and the Virgins to the coast
of South America, about Venezuela. The American nations
have agreed that numerous islands must be kspt free
from Nazi and Japanese occupation.
In the harbor of San Juan there is a division of
destroyers and there is an American naval tanker. A
ear ago stationing of these vessels there was not possible;
w the harbor has been dredged. Across the bay a
i new island is showing up. Flats have been
thud from the bottom of the bay, and soon
ground for the greatest naval air base in the
Ban region. With the island is being created
a dry dock for handling the largest war vessels.
Thus the navy and the air forces will have a home
of their own and be ready for police duty in a great
strategic area. This, however, is only one item of the
things be Jig done to make Puerto Rico a sü-onghokl

weird search.
"Did you beer it, Sidney?" she
breathed, es he reached her side.
"1 thought I heard a dog whim-
per, Marte. Was that what it
sounded like to you?"
"Exactly. But who could have
brought a dog up here, at day-
break?"

room seemed the most likely place

brought in later. As Braitwood
stood explaining to Marta, n sec-

room.

chloroform permeated the air. The
room was empty.
"Someone went through that

"It was closed when Hugh and I
wore here a few hours ago, and
there was no odor of chloroform."
"There is a Are escape outside
the window," Marta reminded
him. "Anyone could leave this
room and re-enter the house oil
the floor below, through the win-
dow of the vacant room at tho
end of the hall."
Sidney looked out, searching the
Are escape. In the lifting dark-
ness outside he could see the ga-
rage and its gay weather vane,

"God knows what may happen

"No, Sidney, I will not. I'm as

"All right. Stay close, then."

(TkN the floor below, they picked
v«p a trail. Damp prints of a
man's feet led from the Are escape
in the vacant room to the door of
Adam Langdon's chamber.
"If it hadn't been pure inven-

I'd believe that wild story of a
map hidden in Adam's bedroom,"
Sidney said.
