of Tripoli not only sealed the

First complete tracing of Ger
many's intricate blueprint for
fighting economic warfare on a
worldwide basis has just been
made by two young government
economists, Joe Borkin of Thur
man Arnold's antitrust division
in the Department of Justice
and Charles Welsh, an interna-

flee of Price Administration.
The Borkin- Welsh research
discloses a trail of international
big business deals that only a

in detail. 1t is the history of /.

According to Borkin and
Welsh, the second World War
became a certainty as far back
as 1926 when German chemists
made known that oil could be
obtained from coal, and that

Q IN HOLLYWOOD

It's something they've been
dreaming about for years.
Were going to prove" says
Bill Cagney, that you can make
successful pictures in Holly
wood and still be happy, and
have fun doing them. We're 60
ing to prove that you can make
good pictures without having to
stumble over the bodies of
people who have been stabbed
in the back"
Bill Cagney, who conceived
and produced Jimmy's last pic
ture, yankee Doodle Dandy"
has right to be bitter. He has
seen Jimmy dish it out on the
screen but take it on the chin off
the screen for quite few years.
He's seen everybody except the
studio janitor try to take credit
for his pictures.
Like the time Jimmy was
bilked out of a disputed Broad
way stage contract by innocent
ly playing walk-on bit to help
out" the producer. Like the time
Jimmy accepted film produc-
er's verbal promise over a con-
tract, and almost lost his shirt.
Like the time Jimmy went
through a series of suspensions
at Warner Brothers studio fight
ing for his rights, and when Bill
Caeney stepped into the fray.

or to protect the field from un-
due disadvantage. If East were
compelled to bid four spades or
make any other sufficient bid,
North-S South would double and
slaughter the contract.
The director gave a very wise
decision. He allowed East TO
make any call he wished, in
Guiding a pass He barred West
from the auction. To offset pos
sible damage done to North
South by the information given
10 West by the spade call, he rul-
ed that If North or South won
the contract, the declarer could
call the opening lead.
North-South, resenting the
loss of the opportunity to muir
der a four spade contract, ap-
pealed to the National Laws
Commission, which not only up
held the director but highly
commended his sense of equity.

IN WASHINGTONe

had made every effort to over
come Gernfany's dependence on
foreign chemicals. Through l. c..
F., German chemists perfected
processes for obtaining from the
air. nitrates for explosive and
fertilizer, instead of having to
depend on Chilean nitrates. The
German chemist Haber who per-
fected this process also suggest
ed to the kaiser's war machine
its other great chemical weapon
poison gas.
HEAD START ON WAR
When the treaty of Versailles
disarmed Germany after the last
war, it could not disarm Ger
many's chemical industry as ma
terialized in l. G.. F., and that,
according to Borkin and Welsh,
led to the second chemical war.
BY 1889. Germany was turn
ing out 100000 tons of synthe-
tic rubber while the United
States produced none. Germany
was making $4,000 tons of alu-
minum year, against 10000 in
the u. S. and Germany was max
ing 10000 tons of the new light
metal magnesium, while the u.
S. was still making only an ex-
perimental 5000 tons.
From 1888 to 1912, raw ma
terials supply changed to look
like this.

That's what the Cagney broth

make successful pictures in
Hollywood and still be happy.
But Jimmy has never been hap
Ply, or played the type of roles
he's wanted to play.
BOTH PROBLEMS SOLVED
Cagney Productions is pro-
viding the solution to both prob

contract with United Artists to
release from five to Is pictures
over five-year period. Jimmy
can even direct, an idea he's had
for some time. But best of all,
the contract gives Bill an oppor-
tunity to display his shrewd
showmanship And for Jimmy to

wanted to play.

u. S. PRODUCTION
STRANGLED
The direction of I. G.. F. from
1925 to 1899 was unquestionably
the work of genius. BY a web
of international contracts which
!. G.. F. promoted with leading
American concerns, U. S. pre-
paredness was limited and re-
stricted in doze or more
chemical industries, including
dyes, drugs, oil, rubber and
magnesium.
The American branch of |. G.

Welsh. was formed as far back
as 1929. Included in the origi-
nal setup we're General Ana
line, Agfa-Ansco, Win t hro r
Chemical, Magnesium Develop
ment, and through the conceal
ed German ownership of large
block of Standard Oil of New
Jersey, American l. G.. F. was
close to this company. Many OF
these corporate links have since
been broken or altered, and the
main argument of the Borkin'
Welsh report is to trace the his
tory of these deals.
The authors point up one
trenchant idea: Germany los,
the first chemical world war
but the I. G.. F. did not lose
When the time comes to write
the peace after this second
chemical world war, some at.
tention should be given to the
fate of German monopolies, and
the post war planners should
keep an eye on German indus
