The problem Of reconstructing the
dyestuffs industry in this country to
insure regular supply for the textile
trade is near solution, according to
speakers at the opening sessions Of the
National Association of Cotton Manu-
facturers today. Edward S. Chaplin of
this city commissioned by the asso-
citation to study the conditions caused
by the war, reported his belief that
the situation would be worked out
domestically, to the satisfaction Of all
industrial demands.
The great needs Of the past year"
he stated, have been responsible for
bringing to light many studies on the
use Of mordant and dyestuffs than
would otherwise probably never have
published or practically tried out.
1t has been proved conclusively that
the natural dyestuffs can and should
be used for many purposes hitherto
not dreamed of with profit to the in
dustry. Dyeing methods have been
compiled and elaborated on the vari-
Gus forms of cotton, in modern dyeing
machinery, with the use of natural
dyewoods, pleasing and practicable
diversification of shades"
Coal Tar Industry
THE erection Of comprehensive
coal tar industry in this country in
surfing the country forever against an
other such calamatious happening as
the present is a thoroughly sound and
desirable proposition" Mr. Chapin ad-
died.
Herman A. Metz Of New York dis
cussing the German governments re-
lease of $4,000 tons of dyestuffs for this
country said there were still difficult
ties in the form of a British permit for
transportation and the obtaining Of
American ships to carry the cargo in
the way Of early delivery. Germany
claims IS per cent of former shipments
have been exported to her enemies and
a guarantee must be given that this
will not be true with the latest prom
ised shipment. he stated.
The association tonight celebrated its
one hundredth anniversary of govern
ment and business and d. p. Kingsley
of New York discussed THE Trilogy of
Democracy"
In addition to business sessions and
the award of the association medal, an
address by the President, Albert Greene
Duncan of Boston, and papers on vari-
Gus textile topics were on the program
for today. Tonight the association Will
hold banquet in recognition of the
fact that this is the one hundredth
meeting of the organization.

COTTON MANUFACTURERS IN
SESSION DISCUSS PRESENT
CONDITIONS BORN OF THE WAR
President Duncan Bames Dependent Situation upon Petty Pol
itics, Placing Party Needs Before Counrys -Dyestuh
Problem Solved for This Country and Supply Assured

ed in this country by the European war.
AT this day." he said, nearly two
years after the outbreak Of the war.
we are still discussing accidentally
the question Of the possibility Of our
being involved, the extent of our need
ed preparedness, or even the necessity
of any preparation at all. To the citi-
zens Of this country 1t should be clear
that nation that intends to preserve
its national life and national ideals in
violate must make adequate preparation
for its own defence against emergency
This lesson is particularly pertinent to
America at the present time, for both
our business and foreign policies inev-
itably tend to make us enemies rather
than friends among the nations Of the
world.
The war has shown that. in spite Of
ample natural resources of our own to
supply practically every requirement of
our own industries, we are de-
pendent on foreign nations for large
number of essential products, notably
dyestuffs. Yet our legislators have let
petty politics intervene rather than re-
gard the needs of their country first
NAAN ei'SAA patty afterwards.
THE clashing of political and per-
sonal interests with the interests Of
me nation as q whole is what is MAX
ing the administration of our govern
ment inefficient and insecure for it's
citizens.
Trade Struggle Predicted
We nave been forced, in spite Of
ourselves into international relations.
We must realize that we can no longer
consider our own country as a law
unto itself, but with the dawn Of peace
must engage in the struggle of ma
lions for world trade. We can never
again avoid world politics if we would.
We cannot exhibit national shirt in
external relations unless we vitalize in
internal affairs the doctrine of "Aneri-
cans ALL"
Extension Of cotton expectations. es-
Feclally to South America was urged
by Frank A. Fanderlip Of New York.
The cotton goods industry, he said had
gained only IL per cent in foreign mar
kets in the past year, Notwithstanding
that the war had reduced Great Brit
ans exports of cotton products to
south America by one-half. He recon-
mended, on the strength of advices
from agents in South American coun-
tries, the formation of a cotton goods
expectation association which would
open salesrooms in important foreign
centers, make extensive display of
goods and stay by the enterprise I'M
mediate financially profit alone should
not be the basis of judgment of such
a proposal, the speaker said; instead,
the national concern should be consid-
cred
