...Joseph Hodges Choate Jr. '97, of New York, attorney for the American Dye Institute, will speak in favor of the embargo, and Mr. Grenville Stanley MacFarland '00, attorney for the Amoskeag Mills, will take the other side. Mr. Robert Hallowell Gardiner '04 will preside.

Before the War, German competition had completely ruined our native dye industry; it looks now as if it were about to do so again...
Here, it seems, is an opportunity for the chemical departments of our universities, as well as our industrial chemists, to do the country a great service. Our research workers are second to none; surely, among them, they can find means to cheapen the production of our present dyes to a point that will enable us to fight off our German rivals. Then, too, there is always the possibility of stumbling on some new compound that will revolutionize the industry. The prizes in the chemical field are large no one who works out a first-class process will ever go hungry...
