Timely Warning
IN EVENT ANOTHER WAR. GERMANY’S STRONG POSITION. ASSURED OF GREAT RESOURCES. ("By Cable.—Presi Asaociatior.—Copyright.] (Received 13, 12.55 p.m.) London, Sept. 12. Dr. Harker, before the British Association, said the German manufacture of gas-producing chemicals, particularly nitrogen, would place her in the preeminent position in the event of another war. Germany, in 1913, consumed 200, 000 tons of nitrogen, of which half was imported. She used 45 per cent more lost year, without meeting the demands of agriculturists. All was produced in Germany. Though the Government pleaded bankruptcy the Badische Company appeared to have had little difficulty in finding money to repair the damage caused in Oppau. In the event of an.other war Germany would be assured of basic material for the gigantic production of munitions and enough fertiliser to enable her to grow most of her own food. Let us beware, while almost all our munition works are being dismantled, that the world is not caught napping again.—(A. and N.Z.)
