(Continued from Page One) trating the byways, were able to report on everything a foreign mili- tary power wanted to know, in ad- dition to arranging political con- tacts, and using radio and news- paper advertisements to spread Nazi “kultur” among Latin-American good neighbors. So important is this drug pro- paganda network that until a short time ago the Nazis flew essential drugs into South America, smuggled aspirin from the United States through pro-Nazi Latin-American armies and, thanks to the large stocks accumlated before war broke, have continued to carry on. For a long time the State De- partment and the Rockefeller Com- mittee have been trying to get Unit- ed States firms to carry similar radio and newspaper propaganda, and now give credit to David Cor- eoran for doing the most outstand- ing job along this line. GUNS TURNED AROUND It is paradoxical that the com- mercial instrument through which Corcoran works is a firm that for a time had patent connections with the German drug trust. Corcoran’s firm, the Sydney Ross | Co., is a subsidiary of Sterling Prod- ucts, the biggest drug business in the U. 8. A. Its enormous resources, once partially derived from its re- lationship with the German drug trust, now have been completely rveversed and, through Sydney Ross, thrown into an economic way to the | death in Latin-America. As one Washington official expressed it: ““We have boarded the Bismarck and | turned her guns around.” Dave Corcoran, the driving rorce behind the Latin-American Sydney Ross venture, got to it in a round- about way, in fact via Asia. Orig- inally he was preparing for a medi- cal career, but a girl diverted him several years, so Dave fished through college catalogues to find the pro- fessional education requiring the least time. He took -a two-year course at the Harvard Business School. ROMANCE CHANGES CAREER At the end of the course, he mar- ried his girl and went to work for an Asiatic trading company. In the Far East, he became Tokyo manager of General Motors, saw the movement through Japan of the first military trucks for the conquest, of Manchukuo, left General Motors to sell American pharmaceuticals for Sterling Products in China, the Philippines, Malaya and India Later Corcoran was lent to Wash- ington as president of Chi..a De- fense Supplies, Inc., of the Lend- Lease Corporation, and was the first of the crusaders to get supplies up the Burma Road, to make up for the trucks he had sent into Man- churia ten years ago. About this time Sterling Products promised the Jus e Department to compen- sate for its previous partnership with the Germans by trying to drive the German drug business off the commercial map of. Latin-America. It seemed an impossible job. But Sterling fished Dave Corcoran out of its pockets and put him in charge of an economic drive against the key item in the German line— aspirin, which had been trade- marked and advertised in Latin- America for nearly 20 years and {had a practical monopoly. Corcoran had to begin from scratch with a new name. The Germans had stocks care- fully ‘accumulated against the pos- sibility of war. Corcoran had to export from the U. S. A, often by air, as submarines handicapped shipping routes. The Germans had |a solid, 65-year-old organization; Corcoran had only a handful of , young Americans. known. In six months, the Latin-Amer- ican organization had tripled. The new trade name “mejoral” became | the subject of 'thé biggest American promotion job in Latin-American history. Overnight, Sydney Ross became | the biggest radio and newspaper | advertiser and the biggest sound' and movie truck operator in Latin- | America. For the first time the American Government has a Latin- American “sales” organization com- parable to anything the Germans ever had in their commercial con- quesst. This organization covers not | only the city areas, but follows the trail of famous German peddler jand his mule throughout the in- terior. The success of the drive has been phenomenal. Wherever Sydney Ross can get supplies it is already con- sistently outselling the Germans and has developed such a fierce com- petitive technique that anti-monop- | oly cranks in Washington already are more concerned that Sydney ! Ross will dominate the market than | lambasting the Germans. All of which causes Dave Cor- | coran to remark: “Monopoly! About the same kind of monopely the | Marines had at Wake Island!” (Copyright, 1942, by United Feature Syndigate, Inc.) ————————— ER RITES AT { 9 A. M. TOMORROW: W.
