Plane Industry

a
of the most vital economic centers
in each of the warning countries.
Plane production has been put on an
assembly line basis and planes are
being turned out by the thousand
where they were formerly made by
tens or hundreds.
When the war ends the world will
have plane production capacity sew
eral times greater than that of 1888
/. This capacity may be allowed to
lie idle and deteriorate.
2. 1t may be used for supplying
armies and navies with their compile
ment of planes.
3. Or it may be employed to con-
struct and maintain fleets of passen-
ger express and freight transport
planes that will have as great an eff
feet upon economic life after World
War II as the automobile had after
World War |.
Unless the war results in quite I'M
foreseen destruction in all of the con-
tending natoins, 1t seems likely that
the years following World War II will
find the world in the air.
Now that the production plants
have been constructed in response to
war demand, it is almost certain that
aviation will become one of the most
significant postwar economic forces.

IS NATURALIZATION OF
INDUSTRY In PROSPECT?

were form of cooperative they were
cooperating in order to compete more
effectively with other corporations,
and the profit motive being dominant
soon became the sole motive. Serv-
ice to society became mere catch
word and the public be damned" pol
| icy became so prevalent that for the
good of society government regulation
of corporation practices had to be
adopted.
During this period, while the prac-
tice of national cooperation had
lapsed the idea of national or world
wide cooperation remained and was
elaborated upon by such writer's as
Marx, Henry George, and Edward Bel
lamy. The books of these writer's,
Capital" Progress and Poverty"
Looking Backward" and Equality"
created the most profound sensations
and were the most widely read books
of the period.
Government regulations of corpor-
ate industry having been forced upon
the nation by the public be damned
attitude of the corporations them
selves, other forms of co-operatives
sprang up organized on the basis of
service to the public or their mem
bers rather than with the profit mo-
tive as the predominant factor.
Colonies such as the Llano colonies,
and organizations such as the Farm
ers Alliance, the Anti-Monops, the
Grange, Nonpartisan League, and the
Farmers Union began to teach and
practice cooperation in economic
matters while many of them even
advocated specialization or nationalist
ion of the major Industries. Labor
had long been active In
heir efforts to secure q greater meas
IRE of justice and equality for the
workers and many of the most far
sighted leaders Of these organizations
openly espoused the socialist philos-
'phy advocating outright government
and operation of industry.
World War number one, brought
bout the downfall of the last feudal
stronghold, the czarist regime of Rus
ia, and the Bolshevic revolution
firmly the most far-reach-
ng and successful attempt at social
alton or naturalization of industry
which the world had yet seen.

In writing the two preceding art
Giles in this series it had been my II
tention to cover only the transports
ton. industry, offering the reader som
food for thought and allowing him t
draw his own conclusions, but recen
comments and questions prompt me-
to pursue the subject further.
The matter of economic evolution IL
cred in a few brief articles and as
both time and space forbid lengthy
discussion the succeeding articles in
the series may appear to be some
what unrelated.
Economic progress is an evolution
airy process, each age or generation
developing the type of productive and
distributive process which is most
suitable to the needs of the time.
Students of history will note this de-
velopment of government and eco
nomic processes from the feudal sys-
TEN down through, monarchy and lin
tied monarchy to our "pseudo-democ-
racy." | use the word 'pseudo-democ-
racy" advisedly, for up to the present
time we have had pure democracy no.
where in the world, for pure democ-
racy is synonymous with equality and
we cannot have political equality
without economic equality.
The desire for political and econom-
ic equality is present in the subcon-
scious mind of every individual Of
even moderately developed mentality
and probably originated with the
early Christians who, on being told
that we would all be equal in Heaven,
said to themselves then why the
devil shouldn't we be equal on earth?"
and the most sincere and progressive
among them Immediately set about
to establish state of So
ciety based on brotherly love, in
which all would be qeual in the sight
of God and Man. Naturally this agi-
tation brought on persecution of the
agitators by the overlords of the time
but the idea of economic equality per-

operatives during the period of linn
ted monarchies and "pseudo-democ-
-acies."
The first of these co-operatives of
note was the Rochdale cooperative
and while actual economic progress
was slow the idea spread and devel-
oped into a theory of national or
world wide cooperation which is now
ermed the socialist philosophy.
Few, even among close students of
know that the early colonists,
wen before their landing at Plymouth
lad an agreement to share every
hing in common" in the land where
hey sought their new home.
Because of the boundless opportun-
ties in the new continent and the
.bundant resources to be had for the
aking, this socialistic or communistic
ociety soon gave way to individual
Enterprise, and the resources of the
ountry being too vast for exploita-
ion by single individuals, new form
# cooperative was developed for ex
'loiting these resources. Thus began
he era of the great corporations, ag-
regations of pooled resources to

HITLER AS A FARHEN PUPPET

"Only a solid economic block from
Odessa to Bordeaux will give Europe
that economic backbone which i
needs in order to maintain its posi-
ton in the world" That's typica
Hitler sentence-but 1t wasn't said by
Hitler. In fact, it wasn't said in Hit
lers era, for that comment was made
in Munich on March 26, 1881 - two
years before Hitler was made chan
cellor Of Germany.
And it was made by Karl Duisberg
founder of the most powerful organi
zation in the world, l. G. Farben.
Study that sentence again. What
it means is that long before Hitler
came out with his plan for a New
Order" and Europe controlled by
Germany, the rulers of the Farben
chemical and industrial trust were
thinking in terms of "block from
Odessa to Bordeaux"
And what it explains is that Farben
was 1.-THE German State" Hitler was
the puppet
2 Old MEN, Young Men
In the late '20s and early '30s, the
years before Hitler's rule, Karl Duis-
berg, Karl Bosch, Hermann ,Schmitz
and Max Tgner (the two old men and
the two younger men of Farben) pre-
pared the economic and political back
ground for their public representative.
The representative turned out to be
Hitler, but it would have been some
one else had Hitler not fitted into the
Farben plans so we'll

Illuminating.
In 1929, Americas prosperity pyr-
amid crashed with a thunder heard
around the world. In Germany, re-
search indicates, the Farben indus
trial barons fostered and encouraged
the financial disaster which followed
the Wall Street break They wanted
to stimulate unrest, undermine polit-
ical powers not yet under their domi- |
nation.
The German finance minister at |
that time was Dr. Rudolf Hilferding,
float a foreign loan to check the
panic.
"Big Business" and Army
Hjalmar Schacht, then president of
the reichsbank, objected. AS Servant
of the Farben interests, and especial
ly of Schmitz, he asked the adoption
of a government policy in which bust
ness (note that word) would have
confidence. Since Schacht was work
ing in close harmony then with Gen
eral Won Schleicher of the army as
well as with Schmitz, his opposition
destroyed Hilferding.
Hilferding resigned. (Recently he
was murdered by the Gestapo after
his extradition by Vichy.)

/ the Ciba, the Geigy and the Sando
companies.
In 1880, even the comparativel

, with Farben.
In the same year, Schmitz attained
his goal of an International Nitrogen
Cartel, forcing his principal competi
tors, France and Chile, to yield tt
Farbens policy of quota restrictions
in favor of German preponderance.
The Duce Joins Up
In 1881, the German French Swiss
trust was rounded off when Mussolini
forced the Italian firm of Montecatini
to join the Farben monopoly. II duce
was ambitious to establish a great
italian chemical industry for war pur-
poses; he needed Farben patents and
Farben technique; he had no choice
except to work with Farben
So the Anciente Chemische Nazion-
ali Associate was organized to manu-
facture all dyes, heavy chemicals and
aluminium. Farben took 40 per cent
of the stock, Montecatini got 81 per
cent. But again, because Of patent
control, the italian industry soon be-
came just another Farben plant in
Europe.
Farben already dominated Austria
as far as chemicals and explosives
were concerned. 1t owned the Oester-
reichische Dynamit A. G. in Vienna.
It owned the Anilin Chemie A. G.
which controlled the chemical and
pharmaceutical manufacturers. It, In
fact, had under its domination the en-
tire Austrian field for explosives and
chemicals and much of the market in
the adjacent Balkan countries

Gattineau had tagged along. He be
came, therefore, the man to bring
Farben and Hitler together into a
natural association" for the estab
llishment of new order.
And while Gattineau was working
out a basis for cooperation between
Farben and Hitler, Schmitz and Ilgner
concentrated on improving the friend
ship between the chemical trust and
Hermann Goering.
Easy Money
In June, 1884, only few weeks
before the infamous nazi purge, Goe-
ring held a meeting at his feudal
palace at ia Leipziger Platz In Ber-
lin. At that meeting was Herr Georg
Won Schnitzler, Farben's leading COM
mercial man.
After a talk to the assembled in
dustrfalists and bankers, Goering told
them the nazi treasury needed 3000,-
900 reichsmarks = and he asked for
contributions.
While others hesitated, Won Schnitz-
Ter made the first substantial contri-
button. He gave 100000 reichs-
marks, a third of the total asked,
without even bothering to consult his
board.
Thus was the friendship between
Farben and Hitler cemented, for this
contribution impressed on Hitler's
mind the Importance of Farben to
his dream of world conquest. From
that moment on, Hitler was ready to
work with-and-for-Farbe to achieve
his goal of New Order" (Which was
a Farben idea, anyway.
