Some juggling with corporate proce
dures-and Farben emerged with own
ership of oil wells in Goeding and
Lundenberg, with control of Czecho
slovakia's tank distributing company
and radium mines.
Poland and France
In Poland, Farben followed the nazi
conquest by acquiring 81 per cent OF
the stock in the rich coal mines OF
the Fuerstengrube corporation at Ka.
towice. Thus did it gain a hold over
Polands key industries and guaran-
tee to itself an Independent source of
coal
And then came France where
Schmitz gained the biggest prize of
all, ESTABLISHMENTS Kuhlmann, the
primary chemical company of the ma
ton.
The story of this operation begins
with the November 20, 1910, order of
the nazi military governor of France,
requiring the appointment of "spe-
cial German delegate to supervise all
French factories and industries"
The delegate" that went to Kuhl-
mann was an agent of "Buero l. g.,
Berlin NW7'-the center of Farben's
worldwide intelligence service which
played the crucial role in Farben's
conquest of the industries of all ma
lions which Hitler invaded. Again, at
this point, the Importance of "Buero
I. G." must be stressed, for without
the preliminary work of Farben's COM
mercial agents, the seizure of so many
industries, factories and plants would
have been impossible.
kuhmann's Financing
Kuhlmann's records showed that it
was largely dependent on bank cap
ita1 for financing. So Rene Duchemin,
president of Kuhlmann, was ordered
before the nazi commissar in charge
of the Banque de France ct Pays Bas,
the major creditor of Kuhlmann be-
fore the nazi invasion. And he was
told that all loans and credits must
be repaid immediately
The next step was obvious. Kuhl
mann couldn't repay the loans, of
course, so it was told that with Far
ben it could float a new issue of stock
and repay Kuhlmann's bank loans |
The operation went through. Kuhl-
man nretained slight majority stock
ownership, for the sake of appear
ances, but Farben actually obtained |
practical control of the French pro-
duction of dyes, chemicals, fertilizers,
nitrates and of the French processing
Of glue and gelatin.

Trojjdns Win
In Close
Hoop Game

The Troy High School basketball
team defeated the team from Bon
ners Ferry here Friday night in one
of the closest, hardest-fought games
Troy fans have witnessed for some
time. The entire first half was a
whirlwind of action, ending with
the Trojans leading 4-8. The third
quarter was somewhat slower, but
still provided plenty of action. Both
teams scored several times, making
the score at the beginning of the
fourth quarter nearly even, and
when Jim McCracken scored at the
beginning of the fourth, he made a
tie which continued until nearly
the end of the game. Both teams
tried desperately to break the 1912
tie, with no success. Both sides
shot for fouls several times and
missed, and the suspense of the au-
dience was kept up consistently as
the ball was thrown directly into
the basket nearly a dozen times,
only to roll out again. 1t was with
in the last two minutes of play
when Grippe, on Troy,s out-of-
bounds, passed the ball to jenkins.
Jenkins made difficult shot from
the corner of the floor eto score
Troy's point. The Bonners team.
still fighting with strength and
skill, was unable to score again be-
fore the final whistle, and lost the
game by two points to the VIC
torious Trojans.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt expressed his
appreciation again today Of "the
courageous defense Of their home
land as now exhibited by the Fill
pino People" and said he had no
doubt "that those residing In the
United States will also serve with
equal credit"
In a letter to Resident Commits
sioner j. M. Elizalde of the Philip
pines, Mr.. Roosevelt noted that now
Filipinos may serve in the United
States Army, under new law, and
added that the War Department was
studying the utilization of Filipino
volunteers.
The text of the letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Elizalde:
"Your assurances Of the loyalty OF
the Filipino people as expressed In
your letter Of December II and OF
their willingness to join with us in
common cause are greatly appreci-
ated.
Il am happy to say that public
law 36O-Seventy-seventh Congress
approved by me on December 20
now makes 1T possible for Filipinos
to serve in the Army of the United
States and I am informed the War
Department is now studying the best
utilization of those who may volun-
teer for induction with the armed
forces.

largely to the development of Amer
lean culture. He added the Nation
needed the services Of It, schools.
Trained Men 70 Be Needed.
Col. Andrews said that when all
man power was needed, mot only
should the young college men rush
to Join the armed forces, but all
men capable of military and naval
service should do this. All others
not qualified for such service should
make themselves available for de-
fense work of other types"
Meanwhile, he asserted. 1t was the
task Of college administrators to
counsel their students that from
all present indications. this will be
a long war; that there is no shortage
of men available now for the armed
forces; that well-trained men are
going to be badly needed in the
days ahead"
The selective service official added
that the present policy of deferring
medical. dental. chemical and en-
gineering students would be con-
tinued. There was nothing to in
dicate a more liberal policy of
deferment would be pursued, he
added.
