POTASH TO Be SOLD
ASUSUAL THIS YEAR
Effort to Be Made to Block
Any German Monopoly At
tempt in Future.

German potash will be sold as usual
this year to the American farmer, as
most of the contracts are made from
May /. but the Department of Justice
is going ahead with it's plans to re-
strain if possible in succeeding sea
sons any concerted attempt to charge
exorbitant prices.
The litigation which Assistant At
torney General Donovan has begun
in order to test out the American
policy of opposition to foreign monopo-
lies of raw materials is based on the
idea that the Department Of Justices s
contentious in the case of the Sisal
monopoly will be upheld by the Su
preme Court of the United States,
though there is no telling when a
decision will be rendered
Combine With French.
The American farmer buys Is per
cent of the German fertilizer and the
Department of Justice is obiecting to
the use by the German potash syn
diCate of it's power to fix prices for
the American consumer. The Ger
man syndicate now is combined with
complicated in that the French gov
ernment is a party to the transaction.
The German representatives who
have been in conference here this
week with officials of the Department

Commerce have expressed their desire

ment, but such a solution could not be
applied at once inasmuch as the sea-
son for making contracts for this year
is virtually at hand.
So the temporary plan was ad-
vanced by the German syndicate of
going ahead through the establish
ment of an American selling agency
as branch to corporation organized
under Holland laws.
Plan Not Approved.
This plan has not been approved by
the department, because it does not
wish to prejudice its case when the
broad principles of a permanent ar
rangement are argued. Nevertheless
it is understood that no restraining
order will be asked against this

loss will be incurred while the prin-
ciples are being thrashed out. Indeed
the temporary plan will be one of the
