HOW JAPAN DOES 1T.

Topeka. Kan. State Journal)
Japan has met in a practical and
effective way the shortage in dye
stuffs and chemicals occasioned by
the great war and because the world
depended chiefly for its supply of
these things on Germany A law
was recently put in operation in
Japan granting government subsidies
for the manufacture OF dyes and
chemicals. II has resulted already
in the formation Of four companies;
one a dyestuff concern, another TO
manufacture glycerin, a third TO
make medicinal and chemical pro-
ducts. specializing in formalin and
its derivatives and other carbon
compounds. and a fourth which will
confine its activities 10 producing
medicinal compounds. The pro-
meters of such subsidized companies
are required IN case Of chemicals TO
apply to the minister Of agriculture
and commerce for permission, and
in the case Of drugs 10 the minister
Of home affairs. When part of the
capital is paid up. the first general
meeting of the shareholders COM
pleted. and the new company regis
tered in the courts, the promoters
are entitled 10 ask for a subsidy
This is TO be available for not more
than 10 years from the date Of the
enactment of the law. The amount

he such as 10 make the dividends

the nation needs.
