DYE INDUSTRY IN
BRITAIN.
APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT
LONDON, November 20,
Commenting on the Government's decision to allow the Dyestuffs Act .to lapse in January next, the "Daily Telegraph" asks: "Is the magnificent achievement of flic British colour makers a reason for denying a further measure of protection? The German dye indus-try-is now combined in a single huge corporation, with a capital of £.40,000,000, while America, with 22i per cent, of the world's dyestuff trade, or twice Great Britain's, is our second formidable competitor. If either, or both, dump coal tar products here we soon will be back to the deplorable position of 1914."
Lord Melchett recently pleaded for further support, and scientists of the British Association in September were unanimous concerning the effect the lapse of the Act would have upon research.
