Been Approved.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The text of a
German government decree practically

that country was received here Tuesday
night in official advices. Indications that
Germany was planning for an attempt
to regain her pre-war supremacy in dye
stuffs was seen in the decree by chemi-
cal experts of the government
Complete control of the distribution
Of raw materials for refining coal tar
is given by the decree to a union repre-
senting all branches of industry. En-
ployers and employees in the production,
refining, trade and distributing branches s
of the industry, are represented in
equal numbers, and the government, by
the minister of economics, empowered
to protest against such decisions as
seem contrary to public welfare.
Regulation of the coal tar trade and
economic questions concerning crude
coal tar are placed under the jurisdiction
of the union as well as the supervision
of exports and price fixing.
Dyes and chemicals were the main
stays of Germany's foreign trade be-
fore the war, it was pointed out here,
and if Germany hopes to recover her
world the major branches of the in
dustry must be built up as firmly as
possible. Other government officials,
however. familiar with Germany's eco
nomic problems, minimized the posi-
bility that she could again lead the world
in the manufacture of dyes.

OHIO SENATOR
FINDS SUPPORT
Of FCONTENT
INominee Refers to Late
Bourgeois Comment
On Article X.

Marion. Oct. 26-On the eve Of his
departure for his final speaking trip, a
4 feur-day circuit of Ohio cities, Senator
Harding again directed the attention of
the public TO two of the issues that have
been all in the forefront of his campaign,
the protective tariff and the League of
Nations.
His comment on the league was in the
course of an informal discussion of a
recent interview with Leon Bourgeois,
fpresident of the league council. The lat
ters views, he said, furnished more evi-
dence that the only safe way for the
United States was ITO remain outside
for the present.
The statement of NJ. bourgeois was
from Brussels. In it he declared that
Article \ was mot, in fact, anything
more than the moral foundation of the
covenant" and added:
article X could be eliminated without
in any way modifying the effectiveness
of the league and that it was not con-
sidered so important by Europeans as
Americans"
Bourgeois VS.. Wilson.
This is most Eliminating" said SEN
ntor Harding. I'VE are told by the great
= American authority on the covenant,
President Wilson, that Article X is it's
4 heart Now comes NJ Bourgeois, pres
ident of the league council aud says that
it is not important.
He informs us that 'all that is eff
cacious in the covenant is set forth in
other articles. This can only mean that,
even if Article Y is eliminated, its effect
would still be preserved in other articles.
Doubtless Re means that if Article x
were eliminated. Article NJ would still
have the same effect.
Meaning impossible.
1T all illustrates the utter impossi-
bility Of getting agreement as to what
the covenant means, what it would obi-
gate the United States to do. 1t is the
complete demonstration that the only
safety for the United States is to remain
outside until we may unite upon a plan
for an association Of nations that shall
mean the same thing to everybody and
under which we shall know, beyond un-
certainty or equivocation, our precise
obligations. 4 free America can give
that service to the world"
Final Plans
The senator's final campaign trip will
be made by easy stages, and unless
present plans are changed, will include
but four speeches. Leaving here after
noon Wednesday, he will speak at night
in Cleveland. and on the three remain
ing nights Of the week will address
meetings in Akron, Cincinnati, and Co
lumbus. Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day nights will be spent at hotels and
he will return to Marion after Saturday
nights speech in the state capital.
