V'AR AGAINST WASTE
What’s Been Done In Other Countries
A series of articles on the Government’s efforts in Conservation, simplifi
able cation, substitution, and salvage to make more of our vital raw materials avail
for defense production.
Conservation, simplification, sub
stitution, and salvage already
have become familiar terms in
America’s national defense vocab
ulary. As in other countries, there
has been licensing of strategic raw
materials to control exports; a sys
tern of priorities established to in
sure an adesuate supply of the
raw materials needed by defense;
allocations resorted to; stock piles
of critical materials built up; ef
forts begun to stimulate the flow
of scrap materials; simplification
programs worked out; substitu
tions made, etc.
Measures for conservation of
consumer goods first took form
when the defense program was
put on an emergency basis.
The Conservation Section of th e
Office of Production Management
was the original agency estab
lished to deal with problems of
conservation, salvage, simpifiea
tion, and substitutions of strategic
metals and other materials essen
tial to defense. One of ite main
functions was to insure the regu
lar flow of strategic reclaimed
metals into defense industry. Like
wise, it encouraged substitutions.
The unit succeeded in making

plated nickel-brass and nickel
chromium stainless steel.
Specifications for construction
of Army cantonments and defense
housing have been changed to
conserve essential raw materials.
Other specifications which have
been revised include those for
laundry and refrigeration equip
ment, certain types of stainless
steel hospital equipment, and
many articles containing silk. Spe
cifications for government trans
mission lines now call for copper
conductors instead of aluminum.
Fire-fighting equipment purchased
by the federal government has as
little aluminum, copper, zinc,
chromium, and nickel as possible,
! and new laundry equipment used
in government hospitals. Army
cantonments, etc., no longer is
made of aluminum or of metals
i using alloys that are scarce,
Other work on specific phases
of the conservation problem was
done by units in the now reor
ganized Office for Price Adminis-
1 tration and Civilian Supply, in the
Consumer Section of OPACS, in
the National Bureau of Standards,
and in the Consumers’ Counsel
Division of the Department of Ag
riculture.
In addition t© these government
activities, industry itself has al
rea dy done a great deal toward
; conservation of critical supplies,
As an example, steel types have
been reduced from 1,000 to 225
since the defense program got un
der way. Other industries have
been doing equally effective jobs
on conservation of raw materials
for the double purpose of speed
ing up defense production and
making possible the utmost util
ization of those materials available
for civilian goods.

substantial savings in strategic
materials.
Tin plate on tin cans was re
duced by 10 percent, resulting in
a saving of 4,000 to 5,000 tons a
year. Elimination of non-essential
uses of tin cans by paint com
panies, tobacco companies, etc.,
will save another 3.000 tons per
year. Still another thousand tons
will be saved through elimination
of tin in the manufacture of tubes
for shaving creams, and other
products.
Forty-two thousand tons of zinc
will be saved through voluntary
action of galvanizers.
A quarter of a million tons of
ship bottoms per year from the
Far East have been made avail
able for importation of rubber 1
chrome, manganese, and other
strategic materials by reducing
imports of tapioca and ilmenite
from India. Corn will now be used
to make the starch previously
made from tapioca.
Government agencies concerned
with housing were given a'■list of
strategic materials used in con
struction work, and a list of sub
stitute items.
State governors offered their c°
operation in using substitute ma
terials in all state construction
work in place of any strategic
materials.
Simplification programs were
worked out for several industries,
such as the bicycle industry. Co
operation was given the steel and
automobile industries in reducing
the variety of products offered,
and in eliminating materials used
for such non-essential purposes as
trim and decoration. The section
also was instrumental in effect
ing increased salvage of junked
automobiles, supported the house
hold paper salvage campaign, and
was active in similar undertak
ings.
The Government Conservation
branch, under the Division of Pur
chases of OPM, revised nearly 70
federal specifications to conserve
such critical materials as alum
inum, copper, zinc, brass, nickel,
chromium, tin, and rubber. For
example, it revised the specifica
tion for flat tableware so that
plain carbon steel, plated., with
chromium, nickel, tin, or silver,
is now purchased by the govern
ment instead of the former silver-
