Porter Warns U S Will Retaliate If Gases Used
William N Porter, chief of the chemical warfare service, warned last May that if the enemy starts using war gases the United States will reply in kind and may exceed what the Axis deploys. He noted Germany and Japan have large gas stocks designed to attack lungs and skin. Porter said American arsenals can produce gases in almost unlimited quantities if needed and that defenses for U S troops have kept pace with offensive gas development. The president said poison gases are outlawed by civilized opinion and the U S hopes never to be compelled to use them.
