W. Wigglesworth who returned recently
from Europe. there he went to study
the dye and chemical industries of those
countries. declares In n statement made
public to-day through the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
The need Of means properly to safe
guard the home industry when discrimi-
mated against, reports Mr. Wigglesworth,
Ia Unnecessary and can hardly be a tariff
or revenue question, since the security
Of the several nations during the war
has shown uncontrovertably the need tot
ma tlenal dependence In the chemical
field. particularly as relates to compe.
tltion not wholly of a strictly economic
character.
The Commissioner emphasizes the fact
that other nations recognize the close
connection between the chemical indus
try and the production OF poisonous
gases for warfare. He was told tina;
| within forty-eight hours 30 per cent
Of the chemical producing facilities in
Germany could have been developed
from peace time chemicals to the outpu,
OF warfare gases and high explosives.
