Said Coffee: HE (Dodge) is one of
a long list of playboy scions of
wealthy families of America who
tolls not, nor does he spin, and who
is constantly bored through lack of
some new thrill. The large cities of
the United States are full of these
parasites who are busy spending their
inherited money. How can these kind

Henderson Loses Fight
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son, this column learns from most re-
liable sources, is about to loose his
fight to freeze wages at present lev
els. The results might be announced
before this reaches print.
Henderson's program for wage stab
has been vigorously opposed

agencies, including the war labor
board, the labor division of WPB, and
McNutt's man-power board.
1t now appears certain that wage
stabilization or rather wage control,
will remain in the hands of the war
labor board, and that the pattern
worked out in the Little Steel de-
cision will be the pattern that will
be generally followed, for the present
at least.
Henderson's recent move authoriz-
ing certain food price increases, eff
fective September Is, is designed to
force congress to put through his al
tentative subsidy plan. The order ef-
fects items that had been frozen "at
too low level" with the result that
packers refused to pack and the deal
ers refused to buy.
The move is similar to that when
he authorized increase in gasoline
prices in some Eastern areas, which

will be an increase of one and half

Sordid Story
OF Americas
Betrayal!
By S. F. PORTER

ed. Note: This is the fifth in.
stallment of this story of intrigue
and exploitation. Installments will
appear serially in The Voice until
all Of Mr.. Porter's exposures have
been published.)
One of the basic rules of politician
always has been "if you can't bea
them, join them
One of the basic tactics of unscruI
ulous business interests always ha
been to sign "gentlemen's agree
ments" with their powerful competi
tors and then to break the pacts al
quickly and subtlely as possible.
Both points are pertinent to thi
study Of the methods used by thu
German l. G. Farben trust, under the
management of Hermann Schmitz ant
Max Ilgner, to penetrate the markets
Of the world in the years before the
second World war
The Ford Relationship
Consider, for instance, Farben's re
ldtlOllSulQ Will IAC VI u lnOlOl OODl
pany an industrial giant that not
even the powerful German dye trust
dared to antagonize. l. G. Farben
first gained Henry Ford's confidence
by taking over a substantial total OF
stock in the Ford plant at Cologne,
Germany.
Edsel Ford reciprocated by taking
out shares in General Aniline & Film
Corporation, l. G. Farbens subsidiary
in the U. S.
This was business. The two inter
ests helped each other because it was
to their mutual advantage.
When the German automobile in
dustry attacked the Ford factory in
Germany, for example Karl Duisberg
in a public statement declared that
Ford cars were mostly built by Ger
man workers and with German mate
rails.
The critics of Ford in Germany
backed down Immediately and re-
manned quiet.
In the U. S., Edsel Ford became
member of General Aniline's board of
directors. He resigned in 1941.
Standard Oil Relationship
Now consider Farben's relations
with Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey = another American industrial
giant that the German trust wanted
to use.
Long before the outbreak of the
second World war, Farben's repre-
approached Standard Oil to
discuss the INCORPORATION of coal
the process for making synthetic oil
and gas. The first thing done was
the organization of another of the
myriad of Farben corporations scat
tered throughout the world.
This one was the Standard l. G.
Company, an American firm con-
trolled jointly by Farben and Stand
ard Oil 1t acquired all the Farben
patents in the U. S. for the manufac-
ture of synthetic gasoline.

In Germany, of course, Farben he'll
the monopoly on synthetic oil. Stant
ard held the monopoly in the U. s.
After these arrangements wer
made, Walter G. Teagle, Standar
Oils board chairman, went on tn
board of General Aniline Teagle re
signed from the board in 1888.
Rubber Patents
Farben and Standard Oil also organ
lied Jasco, Inc, in the late '30s t,
acquire Farben's synthetic rubber pat
ents in the U. S. Frank A. Howard
was named president of both Stand
ard T. G. Company and Jasco, Inc.
The choice of Howard was a mos
Howard was greatly awed by the
might of Farben. His correspondence
with the trust in Germany indicates
that clearly. Through the years dur
ing which Howard directed Jasco, il
trustingly gave Farben all its re
search data. Farben, though, played
its old trick Of Withholding the know
how from Jasco.
On the eve of the nazi invasion of
the Lowlands in the spring of 1910,
Howard concluded an agreement with
Farben to divide their mutually-owned
synthetic oil patents into two spheres
an American-British area andb~ a
nazi area. This move outwitted the
American wartime law which forbade
direct exchange of shares in the cir
cumstances.
The agreement provided for an ex-
change of markets. The Farben stock
in Standard l. G. was taken over by
Standard Oil and the company's name
was changed to Standard Catalytic
Company.
"know How Again Withheld
Standard was to control the syn
thetic oil markets in America, Britain
and France. Farben was to have a
monopoly in nazi-occupied countries,
which after the conquest of France
included France, too.
Farben also had gentlemen's
agreement with Jasco for the ex-
change of research results and syn
thetic rubber patents. Authoritative
reports are that Farben did give Jasco
some information and did sell Howard
some patents but Schmitz withheld
that know how" And Jasco was
unable to get the full use of Farben-
product.
Jasco produces buna. And buna is
the rubber now vital to the movement
Of the American army and air force.
We must produce it - now that the
Dutch East Indies have fallen.
After the outbreak of the war,
Standard Oil took over 100 per cent
IF the stock of Jasco.
Chemnyco Company, the Farben
concern organized to handle Farben's
patent licenses in the Western hemi-
sphere and headed by Max Ilgner's
Rudolph, comes into the story |
If Farben's relations with Standard |

An Aniline Subsidiary
Chemnyco was subsidiary of Gen
sral Aniline. 1t represented a ire
nendous amount of capital and han
lied the transmission of royalty pay |
nents from Farben's American sub
idiaries to the central organization
n Berlin. The payments went by
way of l. G. Chemie, Farben's holding
company in Switzerland, presided
