Canada To Produce Cwn Rubber

By FRANK FLAI-IEBTY (Canadian Press Staff Writer)

OTTAWA, June 16-10?) — All the rubber Canada needs for War and all that b likely w be needed after the war will be made at Sar- nia, in a government-owned plant. Munitions Minister Howe i068! mid the I-Iouse of Commons.

S. All the existing alcohol plant: in Canada would not produce one- third of the alcohol required by the rubber program;

The two principal ingredients of synthetic rubber. said ihe Minister, are Butadlene and Styrene. But-y adiene may be made from either alcohol or petroleum.

By Glenn Babb, Associated Press War Analyst Premier Tojo, in his war review before arliament yesterday, did apan’: recent war record and current outlook. However. it _is doubtful whether his speech. despite its wholesale distortion of the military situation. did much to raise the spirits of his compatriots.

He had to tell them about the appearance of a new ui‘ power in China, partly American. partly Chinese, and warn them that they must expect their homeland to be raided. I-le had to athnit that great Allied attacks-"counter-uffensives.“ he called them—were in the making. That is another way oi saying that Japan has been thrown on the defensive. It is interesting to speculate 0n how that admission will affect a, people whose enthusiasm for war has been ied for years on promises of Wllfld conquest. g

Now this picture is obvious and blatant propaganda. But we know too little of the real situation inside the conquered lands to assume that it is entirely untrue. There undoubtedly has been some measure of col- laboration with the Japanese. There were considerable grilllps in each country which hated their European rulers so thoroughly they were ready to welcome the Japanese.

This source said British mil- itary and diplomatic authorities have formally notified tit-s Turk- ish general staff and govern- ment of the more. The border was closed at 6 a.m. yesterday.
