"Our enemies have gained great
successes by modem methods" Mr.

ample but to have turned their
methods to an even better account,

The Prime Minister, taking a day

Making no effort to avoid the

block of a 75-millimeter gun.
To a company of infantrymen in

NEW YORK. March 27-Uncle
Sam got the lions share of that
swap of trade secrets between Stand
ard Oil Co. New Jersey and the
German firm of I. G. Farbenindus-
trie, circles close to the company
said today.
Standard Oil gave the German
firm details of a secretly developed
process for making butyl synthetic
rubber
But here's the rub as these sources
see it-butyl is made from an oil
base ingredient, and Germany, not
any too flush with oil supplies, has
been forced to use its petroleum
mainly for gasoline to keep its planes
and tanks running.
Captured German military equip
ment to date, it is said, hasn't re-
vealed any wide use of synthetic
rubber made by the process received
from Standard.
On the other hand. here's what
they say Standard Oil got in re-

StImson Has Little Hope
Of Army Day Parade Here

Secretary of War Stimson held
out little hope today for an Army
parade of any description in Wash
ington on Army Day, April g.
He said at press conference that
though he had read in the news
papers President Roosevelt was
going to discuss plans for an Army
Day parade here, the President had
failed to mention it at yesterdays
cabinet meeting.
Since there is no Army division
in the Washington area, Secretary
Stimson said it would be necessary
if parade is held here, to bring
in troops from the outside.
The Army is planning a big parade
in Baltimore on the night of April
5, he reminded, and perhaps many
Washingtonians will ride over to
that city for the event.
He said the main object of Army
Day is to show units of troops in
different areas of large population
II am not saying that we will
not have parade here" Mr.. Stim-
son said. But he then mentioned
the difficulties that seemed to stand
in the way.

and delivered from refineries or re-
finery terminals in the East, by
adding lighter fuel oils to this heavy
fuel oil
a. Loading and shipping 100000

The communicates issued this aft

Atlantic and Eastern Pacific
areas: On March 25 Gen. Marshall,
chief OF staff of the Army, and Ad-
mlral King, commander in chief of
the United States Fleet, with
view to increasing the effectiveness
of anti-submarine warfare along our
coasts, issued instructions for
closer cooperation between the
naval commanders of the sea from
tiers and the Army, defense COM
manders. These instructions gov
ern operations over the sea for the
protection of shipping and for anti
submarine and other operations
against enemy seaborne activities.
In accordance with these instruc-
tions. Army defense commanders
have anocated Army air units to the
naval commanders of the sea from
tiers. Command of the air units
so allocated is vested in the naval
sea frontier commanders
The cooperation between these
forces and the Navy anti-submarine
and patrol forces has been close
and effective. In most ports the
operating centers of these commands
have already been combined in one
room. The new system of operating
control under one service will elimi-
nate any possible uncertainty re-
garding jurisdictional limits and will
insure the smooth and effective
working of our intensified anti-sub-
marine campaign in the waters of
our coasts.
Unity Of command already exists
for all Army and Navy forces in the
Hawaiian Islands and in the Carib-
beam those at Hawaii being under
the Navy, those at Panama being
under the Army, and those along the
Eastern Caribbean being under the
