(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Washington, D. C.-Charges of
somewhat sensational character against
the Chemical Foundation Inc, the E. l.
Dupont de Nemours and company, and
the Textile Alliance were made today
in the Senate by Senator Moses, Re-
publican, New Hampshire, in the
course of prepared address in oppo-
sition to the dye embargo provisions
Of the administration tariff bill. SEN
ator Moses said these organizations
we're three factors ain the gigantic
fraud" he was opposing and added:
>"These three are significantly inter-
locked in their related personnel and
n.tbeir activities; and it is they whose
subsidiaries, officers, stockholders, lob
byists, paid propagandists and faxed
and kept organizations have been the
most aggressive, avaracious and inso-
lent of all the profteering crew who
pertinaciously push this legislation"
Senator Moses declared that what
ever the outcome of the government
proceedings against the Chemical Foun-
dation, he always would believe it was
Conceived in conspiracy and fostered
by falsehoods."
He charged that the conspiracy was
formed by Francis P. Garvin, it's presi-
dent "his associates in the office OF the
alien property custodian and certain of
th dye manufacturers of the country"
Calling attention that the foundation
was organized in the winter of 1919,
Senator Moses said that on February
26 of that year, Acting Secretary Polk
signed an executive order (which had
been carefully prepared for his sigma
ture" by the foundation, authorizing
Licensing of seized enemy patents and
trade marks of the organization.
Makes Serious Charges.
"A week after the, order was signed
Senator Moses continued, Mr.. Gavin
became alien property custodian and
"as such on April 10 sold to himself
for $250,O00 property whose earning
capacity thus far disclosed indicates it
to have been worth many millions"
The New Hampshire senator asserted
it had spent nearly 100000 to bolster"
the propaganda for dive embargo.
Illustrating how "great agencies of
the government were victimized by the
dye-makers of the country and our
public agencies turned to use in private
propaganda" the senator presented
correspondence designed to show that
the dye exhibits recently shown at q
number of leading cities had been
financed by the dye-makers, having
been prepared in the chemical warfare
section Of the war department
Of the E. |. DUPONT de Nemours
company, Senator Moses declared that
the people mot only financed the Du-
Points in the tremendous extension of
their business, but were also mulcted
BY the DuPonts to an extent which
enabled the company to increase it's
plant value to an admitted $500, 100000,
while at the same time taking out
net profits which in one year amount
ed to $129 100000"
Seeks a Monopoly.
The senator asserted the DuPonts
and the National Aniline and Chemical
company constituted the monopolistic
features OF the dye industry in this
country and that the DuPonnt COM
pany, aside from entering into con-
trac with Levinstein limited, British
concern to divided the world for Athe
sale Of their dyes, had sought also to
enter into world agreement with
the Badische company, the chief pro-
ducers Of dyes.
After the9Badisehe company declined
to enter into the agreement, Senator
Moses said, the DUPONT company had
submitted proposal to the American
trade counsel in China chat his office
should attempt to effect an arrange
ment whereby the Chinese government
would eonfcate $4,000 trade marks held
BY the Germans for dyes marketed in
China, and form joint Chinese com
pany or an American British company
to license these. trade marks from the
Chinese .goyernmet."
Explaining that the government had
entered into an arrangement with the
textile alliance to distribute German
FepaFattoh ayes IN thlS country, Sena-
tor Moses charged that the alliance,
originally formed to eliminate unfair
practices in the textile trades, had, in
the handling of the dyes, "resorted to
the most unfair business practices Of
which there is any record" he pre-
sented a mass of official and unofficial
documents relating to the reparations
dyes which, he said. contained "ample
proof" of his charge.
