From a raw materials standpoint alone, i. e., as regards procuring
the needed ethylene, the situation is clear, since sufficient quantities of
this ethylene to cover needs of the remaining establishment are available in
the coke-oven gases at various places.
From the foregoing remarks it is
evident, however, that the most important point for the procurement of the
large quantities of mustard gas by way of the direct process is to organize
experimental and development work immediately on a far-reaching scale, using
the experience of organic chemistry's big industry and enlisting its best
forces. |

| The expansion can be considered technically
assured. The output facilities for arsenic (in Austria) permit expansion in
needed measures. Stockpiling should possibly also be provided for.
