and financiers put Hitler in power because he promised to crush trade unions and democracy.
 Working Like Beavers
 After Hitler carried out his promise, Krupp wrote him that German industry puts itself at your disposal"
 Neither Krupp, nor any other in- dustrialist. is among the men be- ing tried as war criminals, and there is good reason to believe that their Big Business" friends in Bri- tain and the United States are working like beavers to save them. The first step is to diScredit Jack son.
 Close Ties The ties were so close that, in one letter, Farben referred to Standard Oil as "our partners" Whether they knew 1t or not, the American corporations went into partnership with the Nazi govern ment.
 The report shows that Farben was controlled by the German war machine, ran an international spy agency for the Nazis and helped them distribute their propaganda around the world.
 Through the Aluminium Company and Dow Chemical, Farben held back in the United States produc- ton of magnesium, vital war metal, while its production grew by leaps and bounds in Germany. Through Standard Oil, the re- port says, Farben prevented estab- ishment of synthetic rubber in- dustry in the United States, so this country faced an almost fatal sit- uation when the JapS cut off our natural hubber from the Far East. Went Limit for Nazis From Standard Oil, Farben got both the patented processes and the secret "know-how" for manufac- turing high octane gasoline and te- traethyl lead, two products without which Germany could not have flown it's military planes, bombed England and American troops, or waged war in general. "Farben exploited it's cartel con- nections with American firms not only to obtain these important processes, but also to obtain certain critical war materials" the report says.
 Because of it's relations with Standard Oil, Farben, acting as agent of the German government, was able to contract for $2O, ,0OO, 900 worth of high-grade aviation gaso- line and lubricants. This fuel was transported to Germany and stored there.
 Farben Plants Not Bombed Tn 1898, when Germany had not yet begun to produce tetraethyl lead essential to aviation gasoline. Farben arranged to borrow 500 tons of 1t from the Ethyl Export Cor poration. Farben did not return the borrowed lead to the Ameri- can company"
 Another War Department report says that none of the three tetra- ethyl lead plants in Germany owned by Standard Oil's Farben partner" were bombed during the war, though they were "key" plants whose destruction would have crip- pied the Nazi war machine, and American and British planes bombed hundreds of far less im- portant plants.
 That recalls smilar reports that, during both World Wars, German industrial plants in which Ameri- can, British or French capitalists were interested, were spared by AL lied planes.
 Stronger Than Before War
 The report says that the Allied Control Council in Germany has destroyed only two Farben plants, and that the Farben combine has 8 much larger war potential" now than it had before the war.
 The top officials of Farben should be tried and convicted as war criminals, the report declares. and Farben's menace to the peace and security of the world" should be destroyed
