Part of War scheme.

AL the most important explosives of
the present day are either coal tar prod
ucts or the result OF chemical processes
requiring the use OF coal tar. In a large
dyestuff factory there Is an unavo.da ole
production of considerable quantities %
substances which are directly availabl
for conversion into explosives. strik-
ing example is that OF paramonontrotol-
uol, an intermediate necessarily pro-
duced in quantities often beyond the
needs of the dye makers BY the end Of
the last century many thousand tons OF
this substance had accumulated in Ger
man dye works which were making
frantic efforts TO find a use for II in dye
making. Suddenly these efforts ceased
Trinitrotoluol (TNT) had been adopted as
military explosive and every pound of
the accumulation mentioned was found
directly available for conversion into
this most formidable of the high explo-
sves
For another example In the produc-
ton OF sulphur black, one of the most
important black dyes. slight variation
in the final step OF the long and compli-
Gated process OF manufacture will trans
form the ultimate product into picric
acid. More important still. the techni-
cal skill required for the production Of
explosives is precisely that possessed
by the chemical stafr of a successful dye
works and can be found nowhere else"
SO the German Government fostered
and abetted the German dye industry
and ultimately centred in six enormous
establishments the dye industry set out
to make the world ,depe ndent upon 1t, not
alone commercially but also so that in
the certain eventuality OF war Germany
would be adept and prolific in the maxi
ing of explosives and the rest of the
world would not be.
