The Arsenal of Democracy: Conservation and Recycling
The U.S. Government after Pearl Harbor asked Americans to salvage and collect a long list of materials that could be used for the war effort. The materials included paper, aluminum, tin, iron and steel, rubber, silk stockings, and cooking fat. Some of these material like rubber and silk were needed because th Japanese had cut off the supply by their rapid advance through Southeast Asia.
