...read a telegraphic order from Ottawa, last week sent to Andrew Dalziel, Canadian Collector of Customs at Detroit's river neighbor, Windsor, Ont. It meant that Canada had put into effect the law, long sought by U. S. Drys, forbidding export of liquor to the U. S., and requiring other liquor cargoes to post double bond, insurance against U. S. bootlegging. Immediately, Mr. Dalziel closed ten export docks along the Detroit river. Also immediately, 5,000 cases of liquor were ferried across to Detroit 'leggers, who anticipated a temporary shortage...
With their hands now free to give and take, the five Senate conferees on the Tariff Bill last week moved swiftly to a final compromise with the five House conferees on the disputed items of H. R. 2667. The export debenture plan was dropped irrevocably from the measure. The rate on soft lumber, twice free-listed by the House and fixed at $1.50 per 1,000 ft. by the Senate, was set at $1 per 1,000 ft. after the Senate conferees had explained that further recession might cost them the votes of the Senate's "lumber bloc" and thus...

...nitrogen from the air. Thus began the commercial production of synthetic nitrogen. After the War, another German scientist, Carl Bosch, adapted the process to peacetime uses, and became chief of Europe's largest corporation, the I. G. Farbenindustrie. Now Germany im ports no nitrate from Chile, but exports each year about $50,000,000 worth of synthetic nitrogen. This was a notable triumph for science; it provided a valuable stimulus to the German post-War recovery; but for Chile it was disastrous. Backbone of the Chilean budget is the export tax on nitrates. Frantically, the producers association played with...
