...Editer dye want me to tell you what to do? Just let all these atheletikers paste a nice white H on the seat of their pants and the P B Cappers will die of envy
...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.

Once more the bogey of German dye competition stares us in the face. During the past year the Germans have turned out 145,000 tons of dye-stuffs, 10,000 tons more than in any previous twelve months. Production is further expanding at the rate of 15,000 tons per annum, and the manufacturers are planning an intensive campaign for the conquest of the British and American markets. 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...

We could not estimate the degree of activity in this plant since our visit took us only to the Laboratory. In the central and Southern German plants visited, the men gave the military salute--or occasionally no formal salute-to the manager rather than taking of their caps, but we did not see enough factories in the two sections to give any particular general value to an observation of this kind...
