CHEMICAL WARFARE
HERE TO STAY, CLAIM
(By Associated Press)

LONDON. June T. William J.
Pope. Professor of Chemistry at Cam
bridge University and president Of the
Society of Chemical Industry, asserts
in the Chemical Age that chemical
warfare has come to stay and pleads
for an open recognition by the govern
ment Of poison gas research.
He says that in the war poison gas
was less fatal and far less cruel than
any other weapon; and points out that
it would be simple to devise high ex-
plosive shells which would liberate
large quantities of carbon monoxide
! against which all known protective
measures are useless.
/ No reason he says, exists why a
chemical should not be made which
does not kill, but produces local anaes-
thesia, causes violent sneezing for a
few hours or leads to some form OF
physiological intoxication which may
prove of great military value
