GERMAN DYES
FOB NEW ZEALAND WOOLLEN MILLS. ACTION BY GOVERNMENT. Arrangements have .been made by the New Zealand Government to secure for the woollen mills in the Dominion the German dyes needed by the woollen industry. The arrangements were- decided upon in- connection with the annual meeting' of the New Zealand Woollen Hills' Association in 'Wellington last week. Sir J. A. Frostick, chairman of the Kaiapoi Company, stated on Saturday tiiat only small quantities of German dyes were used in New Zealand. The Germans made certain dyes that, up to the present time, had not been satisfactorily produced by the British. Substituted dyes had been used in the Bri'tish Empire, and these, although perhaps, not as good as the German dyes, had answered the purpose to some extent. The Imperial Government had had a clause inserted in itlie Treaty with Germany giving the British certain rights, connected with the German dyes. There was no compulsion as far as New Zealand was concerned, but if mills in the Dominion needed the German article, the required quantity would be available.
