sives, and such strategic metals as
aluminium and magnesium.
To an extent which few peop.e
realize, this l. G. F.. has controlled

its hundreds of products. Through
its subsidiaries, atflliateS and part
ners IL America it has controlled the

to the Germans their basic patent'
on synthetic rubber would be con-
fiscatcd in time of war, an ar
rangcment was made TO transfer the
patents to an American company. IN
the transfer, however, it was Specl-
fled that synthetic rubber manu-
featured in the United States could
not be Sold outside the United
