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*, not to mention the secret...
