When it became obvious that Japanese aggression would cut off the U.S. from Malayan natural-rubber supplies, RFC set up and operated the nation's huge synthetic-rubber program. It organized stockpiling of strategic materials and pre-emptive buying to keep them out of the hands of the Axis. When President Franklin Roosevelt...
