MARCOSSON WARNS
According to Isaac +. MarcossOn, the
writer, who has recently completed
tour of Europe, which included Germany
"the Germans have accumulated vast
stocks of dyestuffs which they will en-
deavor to send to this country at the most
favorable opportunity" This emphasiz-
es the necessity Of speedily taking some
measure to prevent the overwhelming Of
our new dye industry by German cut
rate competition as soon as the treaty is
signed, matter to which Representa-
tive Nicholas Longworth called attention
some weeks ago in announcing that he
proposed to draft tariff rates at the ear
lest opportunity which would adequate
ly protect American dyes. at is no Sc
cret that Germany has accumulated huge
supplies of potash and dyestuffs," con-
tinues Mr.. Marcosson. "The moment
that she saw the handwriting on the wall
she framed scheme to employ them in
wringing moderate economic terms from
the allies. So far as dyes are concerned
and dumping of this stored up German
supply would work serious hardship on
a new industry that we have built up in
this country at great labor and expense"
Several officials of the present admins
tration have on more than one occasion
assured this country that there was alb
solutely no fear from German COMPETE
ton in anything for years to come. Here
we have the word of Mr. Marcosson, who
has been on the grund and see with his
own eyes, that the Germans have been
heaping up quantities of dyes and potash
to let loose in the United States at the
first opportunity with view to crush
ing two new industries which have been
built up here in the course of the war.
Mr.. Longworth should have the cheerful
cooperation of his colleagues and the dye
| and potash producers in drafting his
| schedule, and these two industries, at
| least, should be given adequate protec-
/ ton at the very earliest moment practic-
able. y rss. Al a
NATIONAL SUICIDE, SAYS KNOX
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania declares
it would be national suicide" for the
| United States to subscribe to the revised
covenant of the league of nations. To his
mind the amended document is even more
Objectionable than the original draft
and the changes do not meet at all the
objections so generally made to the first
covenant. Not only does the adoption OF
! the league spell the death of our indie.
| pendent nationality, in the opinioG OF
Senator Knox, but it is not within the
constitutional rights of congress or the
treaty making power to delegate to five
nine, or other number of representatives
of foreign governments, powers with
| which the people have clothed Congress
exclusively, or reserved to themselves.
1t is said that administration senators
are surprised at the determined stanC
taken by Senator Knox They had hoped
that the amendments made to the origin
al covenant would win over most of thu
Republicans who had voiced their objec
tons to the pact Under that assump
ton they have made polls of the senate
with result highly favorable to theil
cause. While Mr. Knox has been consid
cred as likely to cast his vote against tn,
league it was not thought that he would
be as outspoken in opposition to it as hi!
recent utterances indicates. Likewise
other senators counted by the friends o.
| the league as either for the covenant OF
at least doubtful, are coming out will
statements that show they. are either
opposed to its adoption or favor radica
amendments that, if accepted, will am
cunt to its defeat
