No "Pogrom" Inquiry.
No inquiry has yet been made into
the alleged "pogroms" and atrocities
upon Jews. And It is probable that
any inquiry that is made in that re-
gard will not be very extensive, part
~ because the facts in all the princi-
pal affairs that have occurred since
the armistice have now been pretty
definitely established by independent
British and American investigations,
and partly because as Mr.. Morgenthau
has himself publicly announced, the
primary object that the commission
has In mind is not to comb over the
past, but to discover. II possible, some
basis for greater future harmony be-
tween Poles and Jews in Poland
This statement by Mr. Morgenthau
of the chief purpose of his work has
had one Interesting effect Certain
Poles have taken alarm lest too thor
oughgoing adjustment of the Jewish
question might be merely the prelude
to an invasion OF Poland by Jewish
capital

The answer that Is made is that the
Jew, being proverbially an acceptor
of banking risks, IL more likely to find
his foothold In a disturbed condition
than in a settled one, and that the
enc hope OF attracting to Poland the

all types OF instability and unrest in

Arlington. How Germans Throttled American
Dye Industry
GERMAN METHODS EXPOSED

The chemical industry is the founda-
ton of the dye industry as well as the
powder industry. At the beginning of
the World War the Germans controlled
the dye industry of the world, includ-
They turned the dye chemical works
into making powder.
The German methods in attempting
to dominate the worlds dye and chem
ical industry is a startling story which
has been throttled by the U. S. Gov
eminent.
Beginning with this issue, the Rec
ord will publish ~serially the Aims and
Purposes of the Chemical Foundation,
Incorporated, and the reasons for its
organization as told by A. Mitchell
Palmer, United States Attorney Cen
eral and former Alien Property Gus
todian in his report to Congress, and
by Francis P. Garvan, Alien Property
Custodian, in an address to the Ma
tional Cotton Manufacturers Associa-
ton.
This article, which brings before the
public plainly many of Germany's
methods to throttle our Dye and Chem
ical Industries in the past, will no
doubt, be of great interest to the many
employees Of the Dye Works and resi-
dents of this vicinity whose privilege
it is to be in touch with the largest
Dye Plant in the United States. The
exposures to follow will, undoubtedly,
impress the readers of the article with
the necessity of putting forth every
ounce of energy to make better dyes
than the world has ver had in the
past, and spur US on to this end, and
ultimately, make it possible for Amer
lea to sell dyestuffs to Germany"

as the climax to the present campaign
of Gen. Denikine are predicted by Col.

The disasters which have recently
overtaken the bolshevik forces, cul-

IGNORE OWN FUEL NEEDS
Shipping Board Charges Task Of

European nations, although threat

are using their own tonnage to carry
high-priced cargoes and are leaving
the United States the less profitable
coal shipments. the shipping board
asserts.
- While the statement points out that
in the past the shipping board has
made every effort to aid in reducing
the European fuel shortage, 1t is in

Gated for coal shipments to Europe
In the future unless there is salts
factory evidence that the countries
requiring coal make an effort to re.
lieve the situation by using their
own tonnage.
Statistics made public by the ship
ping board show that Italy is prac-

at home. During the month of July
twenty italian vessels sailed from
American ports with COAL
Very heavy demands are being
made upon the shipping board to car

says. Our tabulation shows that no
Danish vessels are carrying coal to
Denmark. but a number Of Danish
ships are carrying coal from Ameri-

is a profitable trade when the return

TT will be noted that Norwegian
and italian vessels are under char

the needs in their own countries are

Large demands have been made
upon America tonnage to carry
coal to the Netherlands. and dur
ing July seventeen American ves-
sells sailed from American ports to
that country. During the same period
only three Dutch ships carried coal
to their home ports. while two
Swedish and one Norwegian shiI
were in the Dutch coal trade. In.
sistent requests have been made or

Sweden, and as many as clever
steamships have sailed in one month
for that country. Yet Swedish steam.
ships in that trade have not exceed
