Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

LECTURING recently before the Royal Society of Arts on "Making Use of Waste Products," Mr. J. C. Dawes, 0.13.E., Controller of Salvage (L.A.) Ministry of Supply, mentioned that, the tonnage of wastepaper since October, 1939, collected by local authorities, was 640,000. Reckoned in terms ot ships, this would have meant 116, each of 5,000 tons capacity, to carry an equivalent tonnage of wood pulp to this country; but if all the Salvage Officers had done their best the figure would have been even better.

He expressed disappointment at the lack of willingness on the part of the population to surrender old and useless books and magazines. Hundreds of thousands of tons are still lying about unused, almost unknown, and certainly unwanted, whilst machines at the mills are waiting to convert them into munitions.

Therefore, please have another scour around the library of your works, offices and homes, and pick out those hoards which are now of such priceless value to the war effort.
