The collection of steel scrap is a vital part of our war supply program” Major General Lucius D. Clay says as he concludes his speech.

We must continue to rely on the Homefront efforts to collect the big tonnage of heavy industrial scrap which is needed to make a fine quality steel in huge quantities which we need in the Navy” concludes Rear Admiral Edward L. Cochrane.
