PATRIOTISM is AROUSED
FOR HOME DYE INDUSTRY
Kelly, Of Pennsylvania, Speaks For
Protection Provision in New
American Tariff.

WASHINGTON, May - Unstinted
praise of the provision in the emer-
gency tariff law which protects the
dyestuffs industry of the United States
is voiced by Representative Kelly, Of
Pennsylvania. He says:
This provision in the emergency
tariff bill concerning dyestuffs and
chemicals is recognition of the fact
that we are on the verge of a new age.
We have had the stone age and the
iron age and are now in the electrical
age. Just ahead is the chemical age,
and with an enlightened policy AM
erica will be the leader of the world
in it's accomplishments.
Goal tar is the most important
basic material in the chemical world.
In my own district for many years
countless tons of coal tar from the
old-style beehive coke ovens were
wasted. Then it was discovered to be
one of the most valuable products in
the world.
Nov, in the new ovens it is being
conserved and used for a thousand
uses. Coal tar is the essence of the
forest of by-gOne years. 1t is one
of the strategic products for war and
peace. 1t wounds and heals. 1t sup
plies both munitions and medicines.
Every ton of coal produces 12O
pounds of tar. Out of the tar come 10
crude oils, which are converted into
800 secondary products or "Intermedi-
ates." Through combination of these
chemical elements many thousand
products are possible. There are to-
day at least a thousand separate dyes
produced from coal tar. \
1.-The entire business has been domi-
mated by Germany. The man who first
made dye from coal tar was an Eng
lish chemist. In less than two years
Germany had a complete monopoly of
it's production
when the war broke out we were
nine-tenths of Nour dyes
from Germany. Only seven firms and
SIS persons were employed in the
dye industry in the United States. Cut !
off from our supply by the war, we
suffered greatly"

The Meaning of Zionism
Palestine as the Spiritual Home of Judaism to Raise the
Worlds Cultural Standard
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May l reply to a recent criti-
cism of zionism in which a person Of,
some prominence draws the fat con
clusion that Zionism is fallacy from
beginning to economically UNI
sound, politically fantastical, spiritu-
ally sterile. Such is the idea to he
gained by looking over the field Of
zlonisni from the standpoint of the
materialist where it seems a failure
on the principle of "Realpolitik. In
deed, the writer proves nothing more
than the disadvantages of Palestine for
the Jew seeking political Office"
freedom of conscience" "a field for
business, talent social position. !"
"hlch are not the goals of an idealist.
Let us examine zionism otherwise. Let
rs view it with regard to its meaning
In the Jewish purpose and ideal.
Judaism of course, is not an institu-
tion for the benefit of it's adherents. a
means to afford the Jews greater ease.

pure idealism, for whose sake it's ad-

the Jewish past would have been in

mainly would have occurred of the
Jewish future.
The Jewish mission is to make man
kind recognize that one indivisible
truth, to which all religions subscribe
that there is one Father for all Of
US; we arc all brothers.
IN the midst of intolerance and
r-szrecusion the Jew was in no condi-
ton TO spread abroad his ideal. He WAS
then being tried IN fire to see if he
would stand true. But now the Jew has
reached, to great extent, wealth, posi-
