The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-11-30
BY FEDERATED PRESS

The whole story of how I. G.
Farben, a gigantic combination
of German chemical companies,
built up Nazi influence and en-,
dangered Americas war effort
through restrictive trade agree
ments with leading American,
British and other producers is
told in. new survey by the goth
Century Fund.
Outbreak of the second world
war found the US. capacity to
supply its armed services with
needed munitions, synthetic rub
Der and other supplies hampered
by restrictions imposed on Amer
lean firms by l. G. Farben agree
ments, says the forthcoming re-
port, Cartels In Action. Advance
sections of the findings, which
will cover eight major industrial
fields, are being made public by
the fund.
The huge cartel was born in
1925 when the Big Six chemi-
cal firms of Germany came to-
gether to form the Interessenge-
meinschaft, Farbenindustrie A.
G., which translates into Com
munity of Interests, Dyestuffs
Industries, Inc.
"AFTER the Nazis came to
power" says the report, "IG's re-

lationship to the German govern
ment became more intimate
It became increasingly difficult
throughout the 30's to distinguish
between IG's purely business OBJ
jectives and the political aims
for which it served as Nazi
instrument .g aff gH1f aHl
what is significant is that
its patent controls and cartel
relationships permitted IG to
exercise a restrictive influence
on the American chemical in
dustries which was incompati-
BILE with American economic
and political interests"
One device used by the cartel
was to set up subsidiary COM
pany in America which would be
jointly owned by IG and the
American firm. One such sub
sidiary was Jasco, established by
IG and Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey. Describing the workings of
this agreement as revealed in tes-
timony before the Senate mill
tary affairs subcommittee, the
report found that ZIG withheld
essential 'know-how' from Jasco
and refused to let it develop
Buna rubber in the U.S."
~
In related project ZIG forced
Jasco to close its Baton Rouge
e plant, the acetylene and acetic
acid project. IG used its commit
ments to Dupont as one excuse

for its delaying tactics on synthe-
tic rubber" the report said.
IG acquired control of num-
Der of large American concerns
by various commercial devices
and eventually came into COM
plete ownership of them, the re-
port Said. Since World War II
these companies have reverted TO
American ownership.
"IG's American cartel affiIia-
tons are LEGION" it said. Few
American chemical companies
do not have some fOTm of
agreement or understanding
with IG for Feconciling com
flicting interests and for coop
Grating in chosen spheres of
the world chemical markets"
In the world picture, the chief
potential rivals of IG were the
dupont Co. in the u. S. and I'M
perial Chemical Industries in
Great Britain. DUPONT and ICI,
failing to obtain satisfactory
agreements with IG permitting
their independent growth, turned
to each other" the report says.
although seeking strength in
partnership, they did not throw
down the gage of battle to the
German deviation. They left the
door open for collaboration"

Guilt in the coal crisis

A new coal Crisis has been thrust upon America.
This crisis is not the creature of the miners John
L. Lewis but of the Truman administration which
destined to set record for bunging if not outright
reaction.
Although the mines are privately owned they have
been operated by the federal government since last
springs six week strike When the operators could
reach agreement with the United Mine Workers, the
Department of the Interior took and Secretary Krug
signed contract with the union.
Terms of this contract specifically allowed for the
reopening of negotiations by either party 10 days
notice On October 81 Lewis asked that on November l.
negotiations begin for contract The federal gov
ernment refused to negotiate.
A responsible government would have realized the
justice of the miners pleas. Mounting living have
more than wiped out their earlier raise
However the role of the operators cannot be ignored
From the sdeines they have cheered the Krg machina
TONS which bear singular similarity to their past
negotiations with the union Any defeat for Lewis would
react to the owners benefit when they take back their
mines.
After refusing to grant the miners new contract
and thereby provoking the present crisis the Truman
administration continued its bunging by bringing out the
antabor weapon of the injunction and filing charges
against Lewis.
Both ALL and CIO unions along with the railway
brotherhoods have rallied to the miners defense reaz
ing that use of this device especially by the
threatens the whole of organized labor.
As usual, the commercial press has sought to be-
