l943 BINDER Irvine
COSTS TO BE HIGHER

Information has been received which
Indicates that the cost OF raw mate
rails for the manufacture of binder
Irvine in 1943 will be considerably
higher. 1t is reported that the raw
materials at New Orleans may be as
high as $500 per hundred. This is a
natural result of having much of the
raw materials cut off on account of
the war.
If the OPA prices for 1912 are to
govern for 1913, it appears as though
there will have to be a subsidy for
someone. 1t will be interesting to
watch what takes place. Will the
farmers be required to pay higher
price or will the manufacturers re-
ceive a subsidy so that the farmers
can obtain their 1913 requirements on
the basis of 1912 prices?

Exposing the Naz Chemical Trust in the United States

and inventor of synthetic nitrogen
the key to explosives and fertilizer.
OF course, the men had met many
times before. Duisberg, Bosch anl
Haber were inventors of such magni
tude that naturally they were thrown
together.
But this time, they met for special
reason, for they were creating the
greatest and most powerful corpora
ton in the world. They were organ.
izing "Interessengemeinschaft Farben-
industrie Aktiengesellschaft'' = or
more simply, 81 G. Farben."
Merged Eight Big Firms
Every one knows that Farben is a
huge trust, for it represented the
merger of the eight largest German
chemical companies. But Farben's
issued and stated capital-$360,0 00,-
O0O-reflects neither the tremendous
hidden reserves that always have
been a part of the companys finan-
cial policy nor the indisputable fact
that this is the largest corporation
that ever has existed anywhere.
At the organization meeting, Duis-
berg was named chairman of the
board Bosch was named president.
Schmitz was appointed director gen
eral. And Walther vom Rath, head of
one of the merged chemical COM
panies, was elected vice chairman
Afro present at that meeting were
Schacht, Ilgner, Gettineau, Krupp,
Thyssen, and many others.
Remember these names. They
crop up again and again as the de-
cade of the '30s rolls on and the Sec
ond World war approaches. And
names similar to them-another vom
Rath, another Duisberg, another
Schmitz = appear in high places in
American industry and social life.
In 1925, Farben already was all
powerful in Germany and Duisberg
was the ruler of all German industry.
The merger of the chemical COM
panies into one trust overshadowed
the independent heavy industries, the
steel masters, and armament manu-
lecturers.
Thus emerged the state within a
state that actually is responsible for
1itlerism.

Betrayal!

Ed. Note: This is the second in
stallment of this story of intrigue
and exploitation. Installments will
appear serially in The Voice until

been published.
Smashing of the Banks
When the seven men who met In
Frankfort in 1920 planned the con
quest of the world on the basis OF
chemicals, then, they know they were
dealing with essentials, reaching the
core of international business rela
tionships.
And when the five dropped Krupp
and Thyssen from their councils, they
knew that at least at the start, they
could get along smoothly without the
aid of the armament manufacturers.
Between 1920 and 1925, Duisberg,
Schmitz, Schacht, Ilgner and Gatti-
neau set the stage for the creation
of Farben-their state within a state.
And in those years, they either COM
pleted or laid the basis for completion
of each one of the seven points on
their program.
1t was in the early '20s that Ger
many suffered the most disastrous in
flation the world has ever known
a initiation which smashed the Ger
man mark in 1928 to a quotation of
42,000,000,000 to one American dollar
And it was that initiation which made
the Reich's banks helpless. 1t was
that initiation which by impoverishing
the working and the middle classes
destroyed whatever hopes the German
people might have had for a democ-
racy.
Germans Got U. S. Money
And it was that initiation which
made it possible for, Germany to slip
out of paying the $16,500,000,0 war
PREPARATIONS bill, presented to the de-
feated nation on January 20, 1921.
All together, including it's payments
under the Dawes and Young plans,
Germany paid only sixteen per cent
of it's damage bill for the first World
war.
What is equally significant is the
fact that the initiation and the help
lessness of the Reich banks in that
period allowed Germany's master
mind industrialists to turn to foreign
loans for financing of reconstruction. |
In the 1920s Henry Ford, General |
Motors, various oil companies and |
others invested more than $2,000,000,- |
900 in Germany.
Hitler now has all that money and |
what it created. And, in addition,
around $1,500,000,000 in private loans
flowed from America to Germany
Those investments are quoted at a
few cents on the dollar now, too.
The atmosphere in Germany in the
'20s must be kept in mind at all times
if the creation of Farben and it's
spectacular development are to be be-
lieved. Otherwise, the story seems
too fantastic, the power of Farben too
great to be real.
In 1925, the five original planners
and two newcomers to the group met
in Berlin.
The newcomers-who, with Duis-
berg, formed a trio of breath-taking
power - were: Karl Bosch, head of
Badishe Anilin-und- Fabrik and
inventor of chlorine poison gas, sur
palite and yperite; and Fritz Haber,
head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute

THE
WASHINGTON
SCENE
BY HENRY ION

The poll takers and Republican re-
dictionaries are not solely to blame
for the sabotage of President Roose-
lvelt's tax program in the house of
Representatives These fellows would
MT get away with as much as they
do if it were not for the men who
are supposed to be administration
Ilieutenants.
The brief but important struggle in
the house over the new tax bill July
20 was an example Lined up with
the worst tories to fight for a reduc-
ton in taxes on increased corpora
ton profits were Speaker Sam Ray
burn of Texas and Floor Leader John
| W. Mccormack of Massachusetts,, who
were supposed to be in there fighting
for the administration.
This sort of thing has happened
time and again. Rayburn and Nc
Cormack either give outspoken aid to
the reactionaries as they did in this
case or tacit support as they did in
the case of more money for Martin
Dies.
The treasury also shares the blame
for the utter failure of the house bill
to come anywhere near the tax re-
quirements of President Roosevelt's
7-point anti-inflation program.
The treasury presented its tax pro-
gram in a half-hearted way and no
real attempt was made to rally public
support. The Presidents plan for a
$4,000 limit on personal incomes was
presented perfunctorily and of course
got a quick brush-off from the house
ways and means committee.
Had the treasury conducted a vigor
GUS program, enlisting the aid of the
organized labor movement, the story
might have been different. But it is
not too late because the senate has
to pass on the bill and 1t is frequently
more receptive to the peoples wishes
than the house.
What aroused public opinion can do
was shown by congressional action on
appropriations for the Office of Price
Administration.
House reactionaries thought they |
could starve out OPA for the benefit |
of war profiteers. Early in July they |
persuaded the house to pass a bill |
providing only $75,000,000 for enforce
ment of price ceilings. This was half
of what the budget bureau had asked |
and one-third of what OPA said it
needed.
With price control already seriously |
endangered by OPA Chief Leon Hen
derson's stubborn refusal to accept /
volunteer assistance, a $75,000,000 APP
would have meant dis
aster.
To Henderson's credit, it must be
said that he made a much stronger
fight against this sabotage than the
Treasury department did against the
knitting of the tax program.
Public opinion was aroused and let
tiers and kilograms began pouring in
pressure and passed a compromise
for $125.000,000, forcing the measure
into conference with the house, which
now was feeling the heat.
To save face, the house conferees
cut $5,000,000 off the senate proposal
and July 20 the house passed an APP
of s120,0OO,O0O by vote
If SO to 5.
This is $41,OOO,OOO less than the
budget bureau recommended but it
loes provide Henderson with enough
money to maintain price and rent cell
ngs if he will listen to the advice of
he AFL, CLIO, consumer groups and
and use the great army

have begun to believe that it is pos
sible to organize the World on the
principle of the brotherhood of man, "
Col. Tchou stated. eve are happy
that the countries of the United Ma
lions are in the same boat with China.
We are happy that the United Nations
includes Great Britain, Soviet Russia
and China China too, has suffered
from provincialism. We in our sepa-
rate parts of China thought that our
immediate motherland was the seat
of culture. The borderlands were
excluded from importance. But, re-
Gently China has changed - she is
Inundated but growing because an in
terest is being extended to other
countries. China is trying to rid her
self of ignorance.
| China has been bearing the brunt
of Japanese striking force" he as
serted. "Two-thirds of Japan's forces
are fighting ON the continent of Asia.
China has turned 21s million Japa-
nese soldiers into casualties In order
to carry on, China must have more
help. She only asks one-tenth of
United States production. Since China
has developed an Industrial machine,
she can hold the Japs but must have
aid to deal them knockout blow.
Let there be no misgiving as to
how the war will come out. The
United Nations has three-fourth of
the man-power of the world. How
ever, Distant waters cannot quench
nearby fire. We must place our man
power at the right place at the right
time. We must lose the idea of too
little and too late
1--WE must follow through military
victory and destroy and remove from
the face of the earth the exploitation
of any people. Change the water but
if you do not change the herbs you
will get the same kind of stew We
must change the world. We must not
express mere verbalisms."
Col Tchou advocated the following
seven points as necessary to set the
world free:
Il. Defeat totalitarian powers.
"2. Translate into actual fact the
ideals that the United Nations profess
to follow (freedom of speech, religion,
from fear and freedom from want.)
"3. We must have freedom from ir-
responsibility. We must, you and l,
be responsible for our actions and our
lack of actions.
"A. We must have freedom from
domination and exploitation. l be-
lieve in democracy that goes further
than past democracies. The democ-
racy that we have had has been group
democracy.
80. We must have freedom from
blind nationalism. How pure is the
United States nationalism? Let us
see that our nationalism is such that
it allows other nations to live.
&c. We must have freedom from
ignorance and provincialism.
az. Freedom from unreasonableness.
We must not be selfish. We must
learn that to have freedom is to share
we must share prosperity to
have prosperity"
1--WE have heard and talked so much
about the brotherhood of man and the
Golden Rule. Let us give these prin-
ciples an opportunity to act and let
US see if truly all the world will not
prosper. We must have visions, but
let us end with note of reality"
