Declares Legislation on Subject
Will Be Rigidly Enforced.

LONDON. Aug. 22.-Legislataon
prohibiting the. Importation OF syn
thetic dyestuffs. excepting under Ii
cense, will be enforced as quickly as
possible. according to a statement
made by the president of the British
chamber Of commerce.
The announcement was made at a
recent meeting of the Color Users
Association. 1t was also stated that
It Is the definite opinion of the Brit
ish government that synthetic color
making factories run by experts with
a competent staff of chemists and
equal to those of any other nation are
essential to the national security, and
that the government had agreed to
give financial assistance in order to
allow certain schemes of research
work to be completed.
1t has developed that in December
last the stocks OF dyestufs in Ger
many amounted to 1000 tons, OF
which, under the reparation clauses
Of the peace treaty. Britain was en-
titled to receive $500 tons. Up to
the present, however. only half of
that amount has been received.
The American Chamber of Com
merce in London points out that mash
the same opinions as those held by
dye manufacturers and users here are
expressed in the Longworth bill The
report that Congress is planning to
put the American dye industry on a
firm basis by means of a ten-year
embargo has aroused much interest
in Great Britain. 1t is said to SHOW
that in America, as in Great Britain,
there Is a marked determination to
make the. dye industry independent OF
