POTASH INDUSTRY
| ASKS PROTECTION
Present Seriousness of Situa-
ton Is Shown to House
Committee.

WASHINGTON, June 11~.-Protection
of the potash industry In this country
through establishment of a govern
ment controlled licensing system was
urged before the house ways and means
committee yesterday and by represen-
tatives of the industry, the bureau of
mines and the geological survey. They
declared fate of the industry depended
upon action by congress. as 1t had not
been developed sufficiently to meet
successfully foreign competition.
There Is $50, 900, 900 invested in this
industry" declared Myron NJ. Parker,
attorney for the United States Potash
Producers association, land unless
something is done Immediately the en-
tire industry will be dissolved and thou
sands of employees thrown out Of work.
Furthermore, the country will be de-
pendent again upon foreign countries
for the material, as 1t was before the
war"
Mr.. Parker said arrangements were
made some time ago for shipment of
large quantities OF potash from Germa-
ny in exchange for feed, but that the
plan was abandoned after producers
here had shown this would ruin the in
dustry, He added that the situation
once more was critical as contracts had
been made for importing 20, 900 tons
from Alsace during the next thfee
months.
A. g. White, of the bureau of mines.
told the committee one-half of the pot
ash needed by this country was pro-
duced here at a cost of about rs per
cent higher than the foreign product.
He added, however, that within five
Years potash could be produced in the
United States as cheaply as In any
| other country, because there were great
deposits In the Western states.
The need for restrictions on the I'M
portatlon of oxalic acid was urged by
Lewis Emery, Bradford, Pa, OF the
American Alkali and Potash company,
who declared this industry was In the
same stage of development as the pot
ash industry,
Representatives OF other industries
which grew up during the war appeared
before the committee today to recon-.
mend favorable action on protective
legislation.
