INDIA's RICH HOARD
(Comrnerce Reports }

'
 The distinguished English tecono- mist, Professor Stanley Jevous. called India .'the great sink of the precious metals and a more recent writer has characterized it as ssthe money graveyard of the world The con tinuous, seemingly inevitable, How of gold and silver from the, western na- tions to India--a drain that has pro- ceedi1g almost unin1 1erruptedIy for the most uncEAnging factors in world economics. It has resulted in an ac- c1mulation of concrete wealth in In dia of astonishing magnitude and the most fascinating possibilities. should the Indian people indicate g, willing ness to devote any appreciable part Of This treasure to a specific object, the consequences would be incalculalole-
 Almost from the dawn of occidental history this tendency of the precious metals to move toward Asia has been observed. It has been the subject pf complaint since the time when the Cartha genians in the fourth century E. C., used to dispose of the gold and silver that they procured from spain by sending 1t to India through the in tervention of the Tyrfans. From Pli- ny Kthe Roman historian, we learn that in the first century of the chris tfen era notwithstandtfig frequent, ua- availing prohibitions against the eN- portation of the precious metals rom The Roman Empire, a sum of money equal t almost SI5,O0O. .Ooo was annu- ally sent into India There were hoards of gold in India as early as the period when the Persian conoueror Darius exactcd a tribute Of S6O ta-a- ents from the Punjab- When Fasco de Cana, the Portuguese navigator, returned from his visit to India in 14s7 he carried a letter from the zamorin of Malabar to the King or ] Portugal, in which this sentence was antained: 'sWhat seek from thy ] let. And we find Queen Elizabeth. In | inc year 1600 vainly endeavor1ng 10 < enforce regulations designed to coun- teraot this flow.
 There are some significant estimates and statistics concerning the amount of. this India treasure hoard. Since ! n Ithentic records began to be kept by that British Authorities nj 1885, $1, Ea0-- noO. 900 more of gold alone has gone to India than has come out. Tn less than a century SS,0O0, 100000 fot the t,zrr, precious metals has been absorb ed And these figures represent mere ly a continuation Of a movement thae has been going on since the days ot the Proenicians. There is ample 1us- tification for the belief that, since the discovery of America by Columbus India has absorbed one-feurth of tne worlds silver production. Clarnont Daniell. of Calcutta University, basing his opinion on the statements of the monetarv writer A. Del Mar, es1t-
 mates that in the 300 years between the middle of the sixteenth and the middle of the nineteenth centuries the gold and silver iTnphrted by 4ndta from the West amounted to S1,0oo,- 600.
 Sir J. Bampfylde Fuller, writing ln 1918, shows that the annual imports of treasure in the last twenty years i have raplaly Increased.

17 American Dye Firms Now.

IT American Dye Firms N 0W.
 Before the European war started, only about 3, 300 tons of coal-tar col ors were manufac ctured in the United States. These were made mostly from foreign raw material which came from Germany.
 About 1000 tons of coaI-tar c6iers, made wholly from American raw ma terial, are being manufactured in this country during the current fiscal year.
 This large and vita11y important in dustry has come into being largely be- cause of the aid of the Government. Government scientists have worked out a process by which benzol and teluel the foundation of aniline dyes, explosives and gasoline, may be made from crude petroleum. The Depart ment, of. Commerce is. assisting the growth of the industry in every way possible. Its establishment on a per- manent footing is now a certainty.
 A report just isued by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce., of the Department of Commerce, shows that the total imports of artificial col ors before the war was something like 25, GOO tons Hence, American pro auction is still short of the demand.
 There are now IT firms engaged in manufacturing intermediates and 12 firms are turning out the finished dyes. One of the features of the Bureau FGpoII 4S eh up-tO-de@Io AAo1 of the firms engaged in these lines.
 The textile and allied industries are united in the determination that the country shall never. again be exposed to such a. famine as it has recently experienced. The large organizations of ,dye-stuff users have expressed a willingness to bear the burden of higher prices than prevailed before the war, if necessary. Most of the companies engaged in manufacturing coaI-tar compounds are planning to enlarge their production along the lines already taken up.

Pr,eventalole Illness snnong Workers.

PF6VentaDAG Illness 9n1Ong WOFlAeFSe
 The economic loss from rreventable illness among workers in the great in- dustries of the United States is esti- mated at s3,oo0.oo0.0Oo a year. This is loss due to impaired efficiency of labor and consequent decrease of pro- auction because of partial or com plete incapacitation of workers, skilled and unskilIed.
 thorities of the United States Public Health Service believe that a large part of this loss is preventable Hence a campaign has been started, backed by the Public Health Service, which involves the introduction Of a thorough system of medical SuperVls- ion in the great industrial plants Of the United States A recent state 1nent issued by Surgeon General Rp. pert Blue pointed out the essentials of a system of medical supervision in the Industrial field:
