Secretary of State Robert Lansing
has just announced a new and great
American policy, nothing less than
the control of the Caribbean Sea,
which is necessary to the protection
and control of the Panama Canal.
Such is the Interpretation put on the
treaty he has just offered the new
Haitian government providing for a
protectorate of ten years. OF course,
the policy is not stated in the broad
terms that the purpose of it is to
dominate the Caribbean; but far see
ing Washington observers, who have
believed ever since the American
decided to build the Pan
anna canal, that domination of the
Caribbean was absolutely necessary
to its protection, think the time has at
last come wien tiiis new american
policy has taken shape.
Control of the Caribbean requires

New York, Sept mot only the
dyestuffs situation but ever phase OF
the chemical industry will be taken
up by agents OF the department OF
commerce sent here by Secretary
Redfield to investigate conditions in
those trades caused by the war Dr.
Thomas II Norton, the chief investi-
gator. who began work here said
1--WE are anxious to learn how we
can utilize the coal industry, in which
we are now wasting products worth
$1OO,OOO,OOO
Germany utilized every ounce of
coal by-products but only 16 per cent
Of our coke furnaces are equipped for
reclaiming coal tar products. Only a
few are actually recovering benzol,
naphthaline and carbolic acid, which
are the basis of most Of the coal tar
products. Unfortunately benzol and
carbolic acid are used largely in ex-
plosives with the result that these
products are mostly taken up by the
ammunition factories.
The potash problem is large. We
import annually from Germany $l5,-
100000 worth of potash, while off the
coast there are supplies ofgkelp which
are believed to have a value of $780,
100000 now going to waste. We have
at our door enough potash to meet
the demands of the world and to sup
ply the needs Of our crops, tobacco
grain and other produce in the way of
fertilizer. We have always been de-
pendent on Germany for potash
Photographic chemicals are vanish
ing
"We do not want to get caught in
such plight again and the depart
rent Of commerce wants to stimulated
American development so we can sup
ply our own demands and then branch
