GERMAN SOAP WORKS
DIRECTORS’ CAMPAIGN AGAINST DISMANTLEMENT
WARNING FROM BRITAIN Rec. 11.30 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 5. The directors of Henkel’s, Germany’s biggest soap manufacturers, were warned yesterday that Britain would treat them as saboteurs if they did not drop the campaign against dismantling their Dusseldorf works. The warning was given by Mr William Asbury, regional commissioner for the -North Rhine and Westphalia, says the Daily Express correspondent at Hamburg.
Mr Asbury reminded the directors that the Henkel plant was linked with glycerine production in Germany, “ and I know and you know that glycerine is one of the essential raw materials for making explosives.” Mr Asbury pointed out that even with Henkel's dismantled, Germany’s western zones would have enough plant to produce much more soap than before the war.
