has made clear.
"First and foremost, be il unler-
stood that this was an Industrial
war, brought on b. industrial Germany
in her lust-mad haste to capture the
markets of the world. Industrial Ger-
many in its arrogance and pride pre-
ferred the formidable hazard of bat
tie to the progressive and sure inhl-
traton which within ten or twenty
years might well have given her the
world domination she sought from
complacont and unthinking peoples.
Industrial Germany was in control
of imperial Germany Industrial Ger
many sympathizcd and participated in
the preparation for this war. In
dustrial Germany wagcd this war. In-
dustrial Germany wns the first to see
defeat and forced the military peace,
in order that with her industrial
equipment intact she might continue
that same war by intensified and con-
centrated economic measures.
Her ambitions arc the same in
peace and in war Her methods are
the same in peace and in war. De
stroy your business competitor by
state aid, cartel combination, dumping,
full-line forcing, bribery, theft of pat
ents or inventions, espionage, and prop
aganda. Destroy your military ad-
versary by tearing up sacred treaties.
by unlicensed and unbridled submarine
and poisonous gas warfare, by the
destruction Of factories, mines and
vineyards, by terrorism and vandalism
"You or have yet to hear one word
Of 4 change Of heart or purpose; one
word of regret or shame; one word oe
dispraisc for any leader in the past
holocaust On the other hand, hold
to the fact that at this moment the
four men best fitted to conduct ruth
less economic war upon this country,
the four men who planned, instigated
and paid for all the black history of
nwlessness under which we suffered
for two and d half years, Dr. Albert,
Dr. Dernburg Captain Boyd md Won
Bernstortf, arc the hclmsmcn Of tho
present German government. DR.. Helm
rich Albert is now Undcr-Secrctary Of
State; Herr Bernhard Dernburg is now
Minister Of Finance; Boy-Ed is di
rector Of the intelligence section Of
the Foreign Office, the espionage and
propaganda division; and that arch
criminal, BcrnstoriF, is over them all,
directing and leading the new govern
mcnt in many of its departments.
"IIas the war ended for you?
at was Germany's chemical su-
prcmncy that gave her confidence in
her avaricious dream Of world empire.
1t was Germany's chemical supremacy
that enabled her to wage four years
Of pitiless warfare. And it is Ger
many's chemical supremacy upon which
she relies to continue this war; and
for that supremacy she pays homage to
her dye industry, and counts upon that
dye industry to maintain it.
"She realizes that her dye industry
constitutes her kcencst wedge with
which to force her way back into the
world trade. She now calls the dye
industry her chief "Protcctive Indus
try and has laid out for it pro-
which should startle us. She proposes
to use the alleged necessities of the
world for her dyes to force all her
other exports. In other words, she
proposes to use it as a club with which
TO fight her way back into commercial
society.
prior to the war the German dye
industry her chief "protective indus
with some Independent companies out
the |. G. Company, with Mr.. Vein
berg, the old head Of the Cassela Color
Company, as its president, and a capi-
talization of hundreds of millions of
dollars. Germany has taken it under
state aid and protection.
"But since you awakened your inde
pendence began and our industry was
born. And supported by you with 10y
atty, patience and sacrifice, it has
grown until to-day SA50.000,000 is en-
listed in the cause and we see the end
stand unafraid in the face of any
threat.
Used for Propaganda
"But this industry has had, and now
has, another great function in Ger
many's machine. 1t was, and is, the
basis of her espionage and propaganda
system.
True it is that we had in this coun-
try the Orenstein Arthur Koppel Com
pany, German concern owning large
plant at Koppel, near Pittsburgh 1t
was the American branch of great
German house with connections in all
the great countries of the world For
twenty years it has put in bids based
upon the plans and specifications Of
every big industrial plant built in this
country, and for that same twenty
years blueprints of these specifications
and floor plans and elevations have
gone on file in the government office in
Berlin"
Mr.. Garvan went on to say that the
eighteen branches of German insurance
companies and the Hamburg American
and Norddeutschc Lloyd lines fled
every record they could obtain in Ber-
lin.
But greater than all, and forming
The foundation Of her entire espionage
and propaganda system, stood the dye
industry" he continued "Her trained
observers enjoyed full access to the
businesses they supplied and regular
Vy and faithfully reported each and
every detail of the three billion dollars
OF annual business dependent upon the
! dye industry In this country.
But that was not enough. Germany
hnd misused our patent system, lust
as she had misuscd pnd violated our
sherman law, our anti dumping laws
our antl-bribery acts, our business
code and oGr common code Of honesty.
-Four thousand five hundred of these
patents which applied to chemistry Mr..
