““ * * * the whole of the war and all the parties to it are in the Chicago theatre and there only can it be fought to a finish as the litigations are now cast. On the other hand if the battle is waged in the Georgia (Delaware) arena there is strong probability that the Chicago suit nonetheless would have to be proceeded with for Associated, Kolar and 5-Day Laboratories, Inc. (Acme is) are not and cannot be made parties (a party) to the Georgia (Delaware) litigation. The Chicago suit when adjudicated will bind all the parties in both cases. Why should there be two litigations where one will suffice? We can find no adequate reason. We assume, of course, that there will be prompt action in the Chicago theatre.””
