AMERICAN DYES

It is only few years since nearly all
the dyes used in this country were i'm
ported, duty free The tariff bill of 1918
placed dyes on the dutiable list. This
tariff and the World War almost entirely
stopped importations of dyes and this
country had to depend on it's own re-
sources. The result was that in 1920 we
mani featured eighty eight million pounds
of dyes, which was nearly twice the
amount which we annually imported be-
fore the war 1t must be admitted that
some American made dyes are inferior to
foreign dyes, but the time is near when
we can make all our dyes as good as any
IN the world. The value of dyes pro-
duo ed in the United States last year, was
IN round numbers, SlOO, 100000. The dye
business in this country is carried on for
the most part by wealthy corporations.
They were not satisfied with a tariff
which would enable them to continue to
do large and profitable business They
insisted that an absolute embargo should
be placed on the importation of dyes.
which would place the American people
entirely at their mercy. Congress had
the stamina and good sense to say no to
that demand.

The Commission on Reorganization of
the Government Departments will report
soon, perhaps before this editorial note
will be read. 1t is already known, how
ever, that it will recommend the CONSOLE
dation of the War and Navy Departments,
including the Aviation Service. The new
department proposed will be known as
the Department of Defense. There will
probably be strong opposition to this, but
it is an admitted fact that during the war
there was not that unity of purpose and
action which is essential to the best
achievement. 1t is expected that the
report will also recommend t4e establish
ment of Department of Public Welfare
to take over the work of the Health Bu-
reau, the Child1en's Bureau. the Woman's
Bureau, etc, which are duplicating each
others work and accomplishing little.
Consolidation of these and other depart
ments, bureaus and agencies, should les
sen expenses and certainly make it pos
sible to place the blame WHERE it belongs
when there has been waste or mal-admin-
istration. !:

CHURCH ADVERTISING.

The action Of the Protestant Episcopal
church in the United States endorsing
the use of the newspapers for advertising
purposes is in line with modern progress
ana fundamentally sound. Says the news
report:
"This action taken by one of the big
church organizations of the country
marks distinct advance in the attitude
of the church toward the secular press;
and is part of the forward movement in
augurated in connection with the CEN
tennial anniversary of the Episcopal Mis-
slonary Society, which will be celebrated
throughout the world the coming Novem-
Der. Especially significant is the empha-
Sis which is laid upon the recommended
ton that the secular press be used as
medium for evangelistic advertising.
Heretofore church advertising has been
largely confined to notices of Sunday
services and like matters; but with the
lOO years of achievement behind it's mis-
slonary society the church aims now at
broader effort than ever to lay its mes
sage before the world, and taking a page
from the book of the big secular enter
prlses it is anticipated that advel Using of
purely spiritual nature will be embark.
ed upon on an upward scale by all the
churches OF the Episcopal communion.
If cigarettes, breakfast foods, life insur-
ance and motor cars are susceptible of
successful advertising campaigns, may
not, the church feels, the greatest thing
in the world-religion?"
The Courier Gazette has for a long
time past sought to bring this to a prac-
tical application in it's own field. For
the past two years the local church of
the above denomination has regularly
made use of the advertising columns and
occasionally others of the city churches
have followed the wholesome example,
The time is coming when an item in
every budget of the Rockland churches
will be devoted to newspaper publicity
not niggardly one but real honest to
goodness appropriation of actual money.
