One speaker who had visited the i German chemical works of the Rhine Vulley. described them as "one huge and highly efficient organization tem porarily paralyzed but capable of sup plying 80 per cent of the world's needs of dyes, with the necessary raw ma terials and labor." His point was that with such an or ganization in existence immediate steps should be taken by the British Government to ensure some form of protection to British industries. Germans Increase Capital The aniline organization, compris ing most of the leading German chemical factories, has doubled its capital stock, making the total 600, 000,000 marks, in order to build .new factories for the production of nitro- j gen fertilizers. It is considered high I ly probable that Germany will soon be able to export instead of important chemical fertilizers.
