...perhaps natural mistake: "Australians . . . have . . . in common a grand wholehearted despisal of anything and everything to do with the U. S."

But last week it was evident that the great international hydrogenation patent pool is still active. The little town of Vaduz in the tiny principality of Liechtenstein (between Austria and Switzerland) was named as the home of a new company called International Hydrogenation Patents Co. which will develop the process outside of the U.
