PROTECT AMERICAN
DYE INDUSTRY

Alarmed by reports that. Germany
as soon as the peace treaty Is ratified
by the United States and peace pro-
claimed by the president will rush
several shiploads of dyes to this coun-
try, delegation representing import
ant chemical interests Is here trying
to obtain some temporary legislation
to prevent what they fear will be dis
aster to the dye industry of this coun-
try. II Is pointed ont that the War
Trade board automatically ceases to
function when peace is proclaimed
and as no legislation has yet heen en-
acted to meet the situation. Germany
could with impunity export her dye
products to this country. The Long
worth bill, which was passed by the
house with amendments. is.still in the
hands OF the senate committee. with
little prospect OF being reported be-
fore the end Of the year.
Senator Smoot said he WAS opposed
to the licensing system provided in
the bill and told the dive men the
best that could be hoped for would
re an extension OF the life OF the War
Trade board to January 1 II this Is
done the dyes can be kept out for six
weeks at least The Du Points are
