Tense Of continent against at
tack and successful invasion from
another continent may have been
greatly increased.
An invasion OF another continent

time when naval supremacy could

be an entirely different problem

ment that the world faces some
thing that looks to be entirely new
in world affairs.
CHANGES SEEN BEFORE
The world has seen these
changes before, and those peoples
and nations which adapted them
selves TO the new conditions (and
had the resources and the man
power and the leadership to make
the transition) have survived The
peoples and nations that could not
meet changed conditions have not
survived.
a number OF first class flying
men have been asserting for years
that the airplane has made the
dreadnaught obsolete. This belief
is being tested out in all the
oceans in this World War No. 2.
The results of these tests likely
will change the course of world
history The change will not be
new. Only the method of the
change is new. ILl

SNAP JUDGMENT HINTED

Developments in the next few
months may indicate that those
who believe naval supremacy has
been destroyed by the airplane
have been taking snap judgment.
ID we lopm entS may simply
strengthen their position.
II IS not necessary for the air
plane TO render the dreadnaught
obsolete 10 change the entire pic
ture of world relationships.
Domination OF one continent, or
the peoples Of a continent. from
another continent in the past has
in the last analysis upon
the supremacy Of naval power. If
that supremacy has passed 10 the
air, then the defense of national
boundaries inside a continent has
been greatly weakened.

MAY SIMPLIFY INVASION

If the airplane has destroyed
naval supremacy, and events Of
the past few weeks have made this
look Increasingly possible, then
the difficulties Of attaining and
maintaining world empi r @
stretching overseas 10 other con-
tinents have been greatly in
creased.
On the other hand, the problem
Of defending one continent against
invasion and conquest from an
other continent may have been
very much simplified.
Questions raised by the Pearl
Harbor disaster go beyond the
determination of where the blame
should be placed for our naval
command having been caught off
guard. Similar questions are raised
by sinking of two Of Britain's
greatest warships from the air.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 14.-Frank A.
Seiberling, the 81-year-old rubber
magnate, lost today his suit to re-
cover about 1894 900 from Edgar B.
Davis, Texas oil man, in dispute
over a s5O0,OO0 loan with which
Davis rescued" Seiberling in 1927.
Judge Frank j. Lausche ruled in
favor of the Ohio Goodyear Securi-
ties Corp. a Davis holding company,
finding that mo trust was estab-
ished" in connection with the $780,
900 transfer. Seiberling testified he
later paid back the s500000 and
sought to reclaim assets which he
said he had deposited in trust with
Davis company. Seiberling speci-
fically asked that 10000 shares of
U. S. Rubber common stock and
s342.973 in cash, held by the Ohio
Goodyear Securities Corp. be de-
clared his property.
Seiberling, now chairman of the
Seiberling Rubber Co.. founded the

he obtained the s500,000 from Davis.

0s the hhboClAteu FEeSe-
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Winthrop
w. Aldrich, chairman of the Chase
National Bank, today recommended
the United States Government
finance the huge defense program as
far as possible by increased taxation
and direct sale of Government Sc
curities to the public in order to
forestall imitation.
There Is an immense amount of
money in the country seeking sound
investment" Aldrich told stock
holders of Chase National-the
country's largest bank-at their an
nual meeting.
vestment funds will be ready and
willing to lend them to the Govern
ment. They include not only the
large institutional holders Of money,
such as insurance companies, the
savings banks and university and
other endowment funds, but also
numerous private investors, large
and small"
He suggested new bonds to be is
sued should carry fair rate Of re-
turn, that they be available in small
as we'll as large denominations, and
that they be fully taxable. In order
also not 10 penalize the patriotic
subscriber who overestimates his
capacity to buy, I suggest that the
new bonds be made freely market
able"
Aldrich said there is certain
limit beyond which taxation for
defense. as for other purposes,
should not go.
He said: This is the point at
which taxation becomes destructive,
in the sense that it enroaches upon
the capital equipment of the country.
Determining where this point lies
is one Of the most difficult and
delicate decisions that Congress is
called upon to make"
Aldrich said the easy" way to
finance defense requirements would
be to place the principal share of
new funds required with banks,
but that it was unwise to do so.
Commercial banks" he said, "by
the very nature of their business
have to rely upon borrowers to re-
duce their loans from time to time,
preferably out of earnings. If the
Government is the borrower and its
expenditures are running ahead of
revenues, the Government cannot
pay down its debt to the banks, but
has to increase it. The effect of
this is constantly to increase volume
of bank credit and therefore the
volume of deposits, the effect of
which in turn is to raise prices and
invite imitation"

Oil Concerns Plan
Big Production Of
Synthetic Rubber
Await Completion
Of Negotiations With
Government
BY WILLIAM ID. HORGAN,
Associated Press Business Writer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The oil in
dustry is waiting only for compile
ton of negotiations with the Federal
Government to go ahead with
broad-scale production of synthetic
rubber or the necessary raw mate
rials. trade interests said.
Latest development on this front
was the disclosure in reliable quar-
ters. that Shell Union Oil Corp. is
considering erection of a plant for
manufacture of butadiene near
Houston. Tex.
Butadiene is the petroleum deriy-
atIye which is the basic raw material
in making most types of synthetic
rubber.
Some of the big oil companies
are now supplying rubber manufac-
turers with butadiene for conversion
into a synthetic product. Others
have established their own plants
near refineries.
While one leading tire manufac-
turer. the B. F. Goodrich Co., has
placed a synthetic casing on the
market, production for tires and
other uses has thus far been con-
fined largely to the pilot plant"
stage Small quantities nave been
produced, that is. for experimental
as we'll as practical purposes.
Proposals to Be Filed.
Reports circulated in the trade.
however, that maj jor petroleum and
rubber concerns were expected to
submit proposals to the Government
this month with the view of making
synthetic rubber on a mass rroduc-
ton basis.
Government financing, possibly in
the form of loans or outright sub
sides. was regarded as essential to
such expansion because of the mil
lions of dollars of new equipment
needed and the present high price
of the synthetic product, as COM
pared with natural rubber.
Chemists have forecast striking
economies in making artificial rubber

rubber stocks as a war chest.
Stocks held by the Government at
the year-end were recently esti-
mated in the trade at around $4,000
tons. The British cotton-rubber
barter deal called for delivery of
$4,000 tons at Singapore by March
81. The Government agency, the
Rubber Reserve Co. planned to buy
an additional 10000 tons in 1910
and 10000 tons in 194l.
Crude rubber stocks privately held
were figured to total more than
100000 tons at year end, Consump-
ton is currently running at around
SIS 900 tons monthly.
