BRITAIN POSSESSES BEST MEN TO APPLY SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES.
SIR A. MONO DEFENDS TRADE COMBINATIONS. (United Press Assn.—-By Electric Telegraph.—Copyi Ight.) LONDON. May 16. Britain possesses men of greater ingenuity in the practical application of scientific principles to manufactures' than any country in the world, according to Sir Alfred Mond, who claimed to know leaders of industry the world over. Sir Alfred, when addressing a chemical industry conference at Westminster, defended trade 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, and the chemical industry must be prepared to spend millions on experiments and research, otherwise it would fall behind other countries. Sir Alfred added that British dye making had long been hampered by the patent which enabled the ingenious Germans to keep the British market in their own hands. German predominance in these markets before the war was not due to German scientific knowledge or inventiveness.—United Service.
