STANDARD OILS
AID TO HITLER

| AID TO hIILER
If the public is not misled and en-
trapped in the propaganda trap tina
the investigation into Pearl Harbol
represents, it will not be the fault o.
the swindel daily press and the horn
swoggling radio These two tools Of
the Wall Street interests are now be
ing used in the slimiest adventure
into which they have ever been pro
jected. That is to endeavor to de
tract the attention of the people from
the matter that should be probed, that
is what the connection between pow
erful industrial and financial interests
in the United States and Hitler, and
why was Hitler permitted to get the
start he did without interference or
opposition?
1t is also hoped by these Republi-
can Wall Street interests to blacken
the record of President Franklin d.
Roosevelt, as that arch-enemy of de-
mocracy, the Chicago Tribune, and
its owner, Mccormick, make plain in
most every issue of that putrid publ
cation.
Instead of attempting to besmirch
those who won the war, the govern
ment might well be engaged and the
peculiar sources that furnish the So
called news in investigating doing like
for instance:
The report that was found in the
files of the gestapo recently disclos-
ing that big American corporations,
through cartel ties with German indus
trialists, helped the nazis prepare for
war.
The report was written by the larg
est German Industrial combine, I. G.
Farbenindustrie, to satisfy the gestapo
that the nazi war machine was benefit
ting from Farben's cartel connections
with Standard Oil and other American
corporations. Some of the reports
disclosures are:
That Standard oil of New Jersey
licensed Farben to produce tetraethyl
lead, a vital necessity for airplanes.
tank and other military engine fuels.
and helped Farben produce that pro-
duct
ut need not be pointed out that
without tetraethyl lead modern war
could not be conceived" Farben told |
the gestapo. Since the beginning of
the war we have been in a position
to produce tetraethyl lead solely be-
cause. short time before the out
break of the war, the Americans had
plants for us ready for
and supplied us with all
available experience.
"In this manner we did not need
to perform the difficult work of devel-
opment, because we could start pro-
duction right away on the basis of
all the experience that the Americans |
had had for years."
That Standard Oil also gave Far
ben an improved process for produe-
ing lubricating oils. The report says
this was "of the utmost Importance
for modern warfare"

started on development Of synthetic

Without those synthetic lubricants
Germany could not have fought the
war, because it had only limited sup
