THE DYE INDUSTRY
British Safeguarding Act EFFECTS OF LAPSE London, November 20. Commenting on the decision of the Government to allow the Dyestuffs Act to lapse on January 15 next, the “Daily Telegraph” asks: “Is the magnificent achievement of the British colour-makers a reason for denying a further measure of protection? The German dye industry is now combined into a single huge corporation, with a capital of forty millions sterling, and America, with 22J per cent, of the world’s dyestuff trade, or twice Great Britain’s,'ls a second formidable competitor.
“If either or both dump coal-tar products here we shall soon be back in the deplorable position of 1914. Lord Melchett recently pleaded for further support, and the scientists of the British Association in September were unanimous concerning the effect of a lapse of the Act upon research.”
