DOLLAR DIPL LOMACY
DEFENDED BY DAVE

dorsed by g. Grosvenor Dave. editor OF
the Chamber of Commerce OF the United
States, last night in a lecture on Train
ing for Commercial Conquest" delivered
before the Educational Institute of the
Young Mems Christian Association. The
lecture was one OF free public series
dealing with the nations business.
Within the last few years." said Mr..
DAVE, "the government has come TO
realize that unless we organize for COM
mercial conquest abroad. we shall surely
have want and still factories at home.
It is greatly to the credit Of the Depart
ment OF State that the consular service
In recent years has been practically re-
organized, till to-day the consul is really
the sharpshooter OF business America"
Mr.. DAVE said that our greatest mar
ket awaits development in South Amer
lea, and added that no better opportuni-
ties await the young man OF to-day than
are offered in extending American COM
merce to foreign fields. He emphasized
the necessity of training for the work,
however.
The speaker was introduced by James
NJ. Pepper, a foreign trade adviser OF the
State Department, who called the COM
mercial traveller abroad a potent factor
for world peace.

POTASH DEPOSITS
ON PACIFIC COAST
DR.. Frank Cameron Tells George Wash
ington University Students of
Recent Discoveries.

How the United States can secure q
plentiful supply of potash from the kelp
sea weed banks along the Paclnc Coast
was the subject of lecture last night
before George Washington University by
DR.. Frank X Cameron. of the Bureau of
Soils. United States Agricultural Depart
ment. Dr. Cameron says he has already
discovered a large bank OF keIp on the
California coast. whereby the United
States can supply itself Tor many years
to come with potash. The bank contains
10000 tons OF the fertilizer.
In addition 10 this, Dr. Cameron says
there are probably large banks on the
Alaskan coast, and that he is going TO
make investigations in that direction this
summer.
Hitherto the German potash mines
have had a monopoly on the potash in
dustry,' said DIR. Cameron. There is
no need of this. so far as the United
States is concerned. This country has
ample means of providing itself with all
the potash II needs. In the west there
undoubtedly are large deposits OF potash
IL. one form or another. although none or
these large deposits have been located.
There are desert basins west of the
Mississippi which contain rich deposits.
If they are properly worked Americans
900 per year for German potash as hith-
erto.
The preparation of kelp is becoming a
prominent industry on the Pacific Coast.
There is q factory at Seattle and one
near San Francisco, both or which pre-
pare kelp In a number or ways and sell
Il directly to farmers within a radius OF
100 miles OF their respective factories.
Americans also place their entire pot
ash supply on the result OF the manage
ment OF German mines. Recently a big
Prussian mine was flooded and per cent
of the worlds potash supply was lost,
because once a potash mine is hooded
its potash is lost.
I'm View OF the large native deposits
its coasts there Is no need Of this coun-
try buying from Germany"
