       General review of the development of the 2 processes for the synthetic production of liquid fuels from coal.  The review covers the commercial development, process technique, chemistry, reaction mechanism, and present economic status.  It is pointed out that most of the more recent advances in the technique of the 2 processes are the result of American work.  Most of the investigations being made by both Government and industry have greater efficiency of method and increased economy of operation in view.
