Plans to Kill
american, Industry

It Is estimated that there is $780,
100000 worth ready to be thrown on
the American market alone. The first
objective would be to kill the Amer
lean potash industry, which has grown
up since the war and Is still unable to
meet the German product on equal
terms as to price.
The German potash grip on America
was won in characteristic manner. First
there was the propaganda. Germany's
high reputation In the scientific and
particularly in the chemical world
enabled her to put out mass Of mate
sial which was accepted as gospel.
American scientists and agricultural
experts took up the campaign, and
there are suspicious that some were
in German pay. The main points
made by the propagandists were the
srea: need Of potash, the wonderful
benefits Of potash, and the alleged I'M
possibility Of American production. So
powerful! wa: this propaganda that
there !s much uncertainty to-day as to
the exact facts In the case.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-08

various agricultural colleges for the
purpose of propaganda.
"This propaganda had a twofold
purpose: First, to impress on the
agricultural communities that Ger
man potash was the one indispensa-
BILE fertilizer, without which crop
failure could be expected, and, Sec
ond, to sow the seeds of Germanic
kultur.
"There can be no doubt that it was
highly successful; so much so that
when the British blockade shut off
potash from Germany many agri-
cultural publications published dire
full forebodings (there are many in
dications that some Of this gloom
was scientifically inspired), and the
German government repeatedly re-
ferred to its potash as the one in
valuable asset which could be used
in dealing with neutrals and later at
the peace table.
However, if there has been any
crop failure in the United States or
elsewhere as a result of the failure
to import German potash the fact
has escaped the press of America.
at is worth noting, though, that
even after the United States had en-
tered the war, and long after the
Kali company had ceased to do bust
ness, its principal New York en-
ployes were put on half pay, there
was no change in the clerical staff,
which was suspected of being en-
ployed in the distribution of Ger
man propaganda not of a strictly
commercial character"
