DYE TRUST IS
HELD MENACE
. ' .
American and British In
dustry is Threatened by
German Industry
NEW YORK. Jan. 6. A plea
for congressional action to restrict
the importation of German dyes
into the United . States has been
issued here by the American
Chemical society through Dr.
Charles H. Herty, former presi
dent of . the organization. Dr.
Herty was appointed by President
Wilson to negotiate fos the Amer
ican share of the German dyes
impounded in France after the
war. ' - I .
The eminent chemist calls at
tention to the action of Great
Britain in passing an act similar
to the Long worth bill, which was
passed by the United States house
of representatives and held up in
the senate committee on f. nance.
Pointing our the similarity of
the dye situation confronting
Great Britain and the United
States. Dr. Herty recalls that
during the war poison gasses were
made in German dye factories and
adds "when our textiles, leather,
paper and other industries were
smarting under the experience of
servility to a foreign nation for
supplies of, needed dyes and
thought of the nation was clear as
to the necessity of a complete
self-sustained American dye in
dustry." , . '...
Although the American makers
of dyes have $100,000,000 invest
ed in factories and apparatus.
prominent Amer.can chemists
maintain that these manufactur
ers cannot withstand a German in
vasion without suitable legisla
tion. They are, however, equipped
to manufacture 85 per cent of the
dyes required by American indus
tries and would be able, according
to the bulletin of Amer.can Chem
ical society, to make the other 15
per cent if they bad time to de
velop the special processes under
favorable auspices.
The German dye trust. Dr.
Herty declared, is shown by pub
lished reports to be stronger than
ever, both in capital and in organ
ization. Moreover, be continues,
it has just made arrangements
through the organization of sub
sidary company to enter the field
for control of the world's supply
of fixed nitrogen, the chief ele
ment i.i feitilizer3, niunitions and
many dyes.

Brazil Seeks Elasticity ;
for Its Credit System
RIO DE JANEIRO. Dec. 8
Creation of a bank of issue and
re-discount is being urged here
by newspapers representative of
the business Interests as a means
of giving elasticity to the coun
try's credit system. It has been
suggested that the Bank of Brazil
be given re-discounting yowers
pending the creation of a special
institution.
Such procedure, it is stated,
would release the sum equivalent
to about $200,000,000 which
banks throughout the country are
now keeping in their own coffers.
Pro-government newspapers state
that this solution is being careful
ly etudied by the president.
Periodical monetary crises in
Brazil are said by business bodies
to be largely due to the lack of
elasticity in the credit system and
to inadequacy of .the present vol
ume of . circulating currency for
the increased volume of trade.
The measure described has been
suggested by senators as a substi
tute for the project just passed
by the Chamber of Deputies au
thorizing a further issue of paper

REDS PLAN
TERRORISM
German Radicals Make
Lists of Capitalists Who
Are to be Killed
I : r-

radical disciples of what is called
here "Red Russian terrorism."
who say they are planning to ov
erturn tne present tierman gov
ernment and establish a prole
tariat dictatorship, openly an
nounce that they have drawn up
lists of "capitalists and undesira
bles"' who shall be killed when
the revolution begins.
One of these men, a hotel wait
er, who calls himself a "precinct
leader." complained the other
dav that: his list included nearlv
everybody around here "who has
mnuence, property or money.
He said a "superior" came to him
one day aad read a list of names
and announced these were to be
the "precinct leader's" quota
when the killing began. The
waiter declared he acknowledged
"orders" but thought the prog
ram was being carried too . far.
"As leader in th!s precinct 1
am expected to kill a lot of folks
when the revolution gets under
way." he said. "My list is cer
tainly big enough. What do you
think about that?"
Apparently his opinion of his
orders was very low, but when
asked if he would carry them out
if opportunity offered be merely
laughed.
Radicals of the most pronounc
ed tendencies toward revolution
and destruction may be encount
ered everywhere. They appear
quite proud of the fact that Ger
many today is "a land of the
freest speech on ear," and some
times ask what would happen to
men who preached their. doctrine
In the United States. Frequent
ly they are students, carrying
along, with their text-books all
sorts tt radical literature. They
discuss their "plans" with great
liberty. One of them, a small,
mild mannered person, of distinct
ly Slavic type, said it would be
necessary to kill many people
during the next revolution in
order to impress upon the bur
geoisie that they "meant busi
ness." "There will be piles of dead
In the streets." he declared. "We
will Just have to do it. We can't
treat these bourgeoisie kindly for
they wouldn't appreciate it. We
will have to' impress them with
cur earnestness. We will line
them up by the score against the
buildings on main streets and
hoot them. We will want all
to see what we're doing. That
will throw a wholesome terror
into the hearts of the reaction
aries. Of course, I will do my
share and if necessary will give
my ure to the cause."
Police authorities apparently
are not much concerned a bent

policy Is to permit the radicals
to have- their say, and go their
way in'- peace. Arrests are verv

movement for non-co-operation

India is being (developed in the

In Ahmedabad, under the chan
