DENNY AND WEEKS
SUPPORT EMBARGO

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-secre-
taries Weeks and DENLY have come
out in support OF an embargo on
dyes and chemicals and have urged
restoration to the Fordney tariff

stricken out by the House. The at

was made known when Chairman

them to the committee on the sub

The Cabinet officers explained
that they favored an embargo be-
cause of national defense needs.
1T is of great value to the navy"
Mr.. DENLY wrote, Ito encourage the
development of chemical activities
in the manufacture OF all products
connected with explosives and gases,
especially those manufacturers
whose establishments can easily be
diverted to the manufacture OF war
materials. The restoration Of the

He also asserted that the chemical

play a far more important part In

In the World War he said. the
United States had found IL could

'The use OF high explosives and

the east coast of England, the de

a report from Trade Commissioner
Butler at London.
Absence of the usual shoals Of
herring in the North Sea, the report
said, has caused much alarm in fish

and diverse measures are being en-
ployed to find the fish which fur
nish the population of the towns a

Two reasons have been advanced
for the disappearance of the herring,
the report notes. One is that explo-
sions in the mine fields in those wa
ters destroyed much of the spawn
and the other that the abnormally
warm weather of last winter and the
past summer had kept the herring
close to the bottom of the sea.
