The German dyestufr importation
agreement arrived at by the conces-
sions Of Germany, which has the goods,
and Great Britain, which has the feet
to catch the goods and stop neutrals
from getting them, looks like happy
solution Of a grave problem. The dye
stun famine has been sorely felt and
babe fair, before this agreement came
to the relief Of the world outside Of
Germany, to end in a great hardship.
OF course all stuffs are fundamentally
alike, whatever their color or with no
eolor at all. But the eye and the
mind, even the nerves. Of civilized, hu-
man beings have been trained for gen
erations to certain colors. Any other
color puts one ION edge" and makes
life uncomfortable. Germany has It to
her credit that the breaking of the en-
barge rested with her and that she
yielded gracefully at the call Orwell,
say humanity.
