CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
COMBINES DEFENDED
GERMANS AND THE BRITISH MARKET (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) (Rec. May 16, 7.30 p.m.) London, May 16. Britain posseses men of greater ingenuity and practical application of scientific principles to manufactures than any country in the world, according to Sir Alfred Mond, who claimed to know the leaders of industry the world over. Sir Alfred, when addressing a Chemical Industry Conference at Westminster, defended combinations. He was responsible for the formation of the largest chemical combination in the world. Such large organisations were able to find scope for talents, and experience far better than smaller enterprises. The chemical industry must be prepared to spend millions on experiments and research, otherwise it would fall behind other countries. He added that British dye making had long been hampered* by patent laws, enabling the ingenious Germans to keep the British market in their own hands. German prominence therein before the war was not due to German scientific knowledge or inventiveness.
