“Mary and I were just saying, Judge, how
lucky we are here in America that we have so
many natural resources to help win the war.”
“That’s right, Jim. When war broke out
we had oil, we had steel, we had food,
hpnber, aluminum...practically everything
we needed. There’s one thing we didn’t
have... rubber. The enemy had that.” ,
“But that didn’t bother us for long. Soon
American bhiins and industry had synthetic
rubber by the tons rolling out of plants. That
filled a critical need... you can’t win a
war without rubber.”
“I was very much interested the other day*
in readings statement made by a high gov-
ernment official on synthetic rubber. In it he
said ‘ It is fajr to regard the rubber manufac-
tured to date as being almost solely the prod-
uct of the beverage distilling industry.’”
“He also said that, in his estimation, the
tremendou9contributionof distillers’ indus-
trial alcohol to the synthetic rubber program
had not received the recognition which it
deserves.”
“We certainly learned something today,
didn’t we Mary?”
