Octopus Prepares
For Neso attempt

Meanwhile, the German octopus
has gathered strength for a new as
sault on America, and is planning
to crush out the new industry in
stantly. 1t is estimated that a hun
dred million dollars worth of dyes
-four times the normal annual
consumption of America have
been gathered ready to dump"
through Copenhagen the moment
the blockade lifts. The prices st
which these dyes will appear may
be judged from the fact that al
ready neutral agents are selling
dyes in Italy at half the market
price. In addition, there has been
a tremendous development of Swiss
dyeworks, under the Herzog rule
that German goods must appear in
neutral dress. In 1913, the last
year before the war, Switzerland
took from Germany 100000
pounds of Intermediates" the
bases from which dyes are manu-
featured. In 1916, the last year for
which figures are available, she
took 21,000,00O pounds - more
than four times as much.
The food may break, as the war
broke, with America unready to
meet it. No protective action has
been taken so far except that by
the Alien Property Office.

Industry Here
Deep in Hzs,, Plots

When the war began and after
we entered it the German chemical
industry here remained as pro-Ger-
man as ever. Its first lookout was
to save it's own markets from the
British, French and American COM
petition that soon sprang up. To
this end it went to every length ex-
cept the manufacture of the more
valuable secret dyes. This was

When the great war began Ger
many had invested in the dye and
chemical tr>Se In this country not
more than s25,0o0,ooo, tiny sum
in business. But with this tiny
amount she had held a pistol to the
head of s3,0OO,o00,Oo0 worth of
American production, prevented
our establishment Of any adequate
manufacture Of war explosives and
made US absolutely dependent on
her for drugs vital to our health or
our recovery from sickness.
This industry furnishes the best
proof of the keenness Of Germany's
commercial strategy, for the chemi-
cal industry is the right hand Of
war. The manufacture of drugs
and dyes from coal tar is a marvel
lousy complicated process and there
are great quantities of by-products,
which are, or easily may be made
into, explosives. These form by far
the greatest part, in weight, of the
whole production. Dyes made with
out explosives, or explosives made
without dyes to help pay the cost,
become doubly expensive.
Thus Germany, storing explo-
sives, kept down the price of her
dyes. Thus, during the war, max
ing explosives, she stored dyes to
be thrown on the market to-day.
Thus, also, she prevented America
from establishing great chemical
plants and hopes to break down
those we now have started.
