...Justice Department was conducting a drive along the lines of its Standard Oil action three weeks ago (Time, April 6, et seq.). Gape-jawed Senators were told that General Electric (through its subsidiary Carboloy Co., Inc.) and Remington Arms (Du Pont-controlled) had conspired with German munitions interests (Krupp and I. G. Farben) to monopolize vital war materials, restrict their availability to the U.S. and Britain. Angry Carboloy and Remington officials made the familiar reply: if they had not made a deal to get.the German patents, the U.S. would have entered the war entirely without these vital materials...
Germany's contribution to powder metallurgy came about 1916 when the great Krupp Works learned from the electrical industry to press and sinter mixtures of tungsten carbide with cobalt into the hardest cutting compound known, began producing it commercially. These hard-cemented carbides have a hardness between diamond and sapphire. They are often shaped into cutting tools by another product of powder metallurgy: a solidified mixture of diamond dust and bronze powder. They work without softening at high, cherry-red heats while cutting ordinary armament steels two to ten times faster than cutting tools made of the toughest high...

Perhaps they lacked the resources to keep it up regularly...
Arms to the South. Until last year the equipment of most of these countries con sisted of old U. S. Remingtons and ancient German Mausers for infantry, carbines and lances for cavalry, 1895 Krupp field-artillery pieces. Last year 19 of the 20 Latin-American republics spent an average of 25% of all Government expenditures on defense. Latin America maintains a peacetime strength of about 350,000 men. War strength is calculated at 1,800,000. With a total population of 125,000,000, Latin America can muster a potential man power of 12,000,000. Fifteen...
