Rubber and Explosives from Oil

The petroleum industry is ready for
its part in the nations defense, but it
has not stopped there. The National
Defense Advisory Commission re-
Gently announced:
Instead of having any bonlenecks
of its oGOn, petroleum is noau being
called upon to help eliminate bottle
necks in other industries"
Significant are two developments of
recent weeks:
1. Synthetic Rubber, developed by petro-
leum research chemists, is now being
produced in commercial quantities in
cooperation with the large rubber
manufacturers. Before our present sup
ply of natural rubber is exhausted. the
U. S. can be made 1000 self-suhicient
with rubber made from oil.
2. Explosives. The petroleum industry
has signed contracts with the War
Department to produce 60,O00,00O
gallons a year of toluene, the basic
ingredient of TINT. Glycerine is be-
ing made in even greater quantities.
Production of both these vital mate
rials can be expanded to meet the re-
quirements of new explosive plants as
fast as the plants can be buih.

Why? Because in America we can
make aviation gasoline just that much
better than any other country.
We manufacture 100 octane avia-
tion gasoline in quantity-something
no other nation can do!
Our refneries turn out 1000, 900
gallons of this 100 octane gasoline
eVery enough to fuel fve times
as many military planes as a0e noaU
haze in service.
But that's only half the story.
Americas oil companies can expand
their refinsries to provide aviation fuel
for $4,000 planes, or even more, faster
than the planes can be built.
Now, the surest way to avoid war is
to make our defenses strong. And avi-
alton gasoline is just one example of
how the petroleum industry is doing
its part to make America strong. There
are many others.
