Probably Will Discuss Dis
appearance of President
at Meeting Monday Night

A rumor spread yesterday from the
Offices of the Friends of Irish Free
dom, at 159 East Sixticth Street, to the
effect that Eamon de Valera, "Presi-
dent Of the Irish Republic" has been
the guest Of James X Mcclure, former
ly Mayor of Syracuse. at the Mcclure
home in New Rochelle. ever since De
Valera checked out Of the Waldorf
Astoria December 10.
But Mcclure has not been living at
New Rochelle for several months and
the present occupants Of the residence
last night disclaimed any active inter
est in De Valera's fortunes. A daugh-
ter Of Mr.. Mcclure, who lives at 1865
Street and Riverside Drive, insisted
that De Valera had not been a guest
III their home during his present alb
sence from public view.
John j. Buckley, secretary Of the New
York Council OF the Friends Of Irish
Free dom, said there would be a meet
ing Monday night. Al which De Nacra's
continued absence might be d oussed.
Recently the organization requested
that part Of the millions of dollars
said to have been given TO De Valera
be distributed toward the relief Of des-
tltute families in Ireland. The Friends
rothing could be done in the matter
until De Valera reappcared. 1t was said
that in case he is still absent next
week the organization may demand an
immediate accounting. But Mr. Buck
ley said he was not concerned about De
Valera's sponsibility, and was will
ing to wait.

Adoption OF Gas as
Supreme W eapon
Seen i'm British Act
Passage of Dyestuffs Regu-
lation Also Said to Lay
US. Markets Open to Inn
portations From Germany

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - By the
passage Of the dyestuffs import regu-
iations act Great Britain has definitely
accepted the theory that poison gas
Will be the supreme weapon of the
next war and at the same time has
opened the way for the entry of Ger
man dyes into this country, according
to the views expressed tonight by
chemical experts Of the government.
The British act, which became a law
yesterday, prohibits the importation of
dyestuffs into Great Britain for ten
years, which government experts de-
cared will enable England to build up
her dye industry to a point of com
plete independence from the outside
world.
Poison gas and dyostuffs both come
from coal tar, it was explained, and
from the manufacture of the CONNER
cial article to the production Of the
military weapon is but another step
IN continuous process. BY insuring
the development of the dye industry,
chemical experts here said Great Brit
ain has laid the ground work for posi-
BILE widespread use of gas in warfare
as chemical factories can turn from
the manufacture Of dyestutfs to the
production of poison gas practically at
will.
Direct competition in this country
between German and Anne erican-made
dyes also is forecast as a result Of
the British dyestuffs act. While the
act prohibits the importation of dye
products into the United Kingdom, the
restriction does not apply to goods i'm
ported for expectation after transit
through the United Kingdom or by way
of trans-ship pment. Under the present
War Trade Board regulations, officials
explained, dyes may not be imported
into this country when it can be shown
that they are of German origin. But
it would be practically impossible, they
added, to determine the origin of goods
shipped by way of England if the cas-
ings We're changed before consignment
to this country.
An influx Of German dyes probably
would mean, officials frankly admitted,
that the development of the American
industry would be hinderod and conse
ouently the United States would fall
behind the other nations in ability to
produce poison gas in the event of war

Gently, $50,O00,e00 worth of commodi-
ties would be traded for Russian raw
materials, will be Cancelled as a result
of the deportation of Ludwig C. A. K.
Martens, representative of the Soviet
government in the United States, ac-
cording to an announcement made last
night by j. G. Ohsol, director Of the
comm ercial department of the Soviet
bureau here
"All existing trade agreements in
the United States, including those of
the Vanderlip syndicate, will be can
celed as one result of the deportation" >"
said statement issued by the director
of the Soviet commercial bureau.
Martens is the duly appointed sole
trade representative of the Russian
Soviet government for the United
States, Mexico, Canada and Central
and South American countries. He is
the only person authorized to sign con-
tracts, invoices and checks. In Russia
foreign trade is a governmental mo-
nopoly and can only be conducted
through the regularly appointed gov
ernment representative. Besides being
diplomatic representative Of the Soviet
government, Mr.. Martens is the sole
representative for those countries of
the Soviet government commissariat
of foreign trade, the central CO.
operative union and the Russian vol
untcer fleet, or merchant marine. of
which there have been six or eight
ships along the Pacific coast.
Ohsol announced that as a result of
the deportation the Soviet Commercial
Bureau here probably will close in a
short time, as there will be nothing fur
ther for it to do. He said he could not
be deported for his official connection
with the Soviet government because he
IS an American citizen. He was Grad
uated from Harvard
