exceptional opportunities of investigat ing the present action of the German industrialista, backed by the German Government, it would seem strange to use a mild term, that the Allied Govern ments should contemplate a relaxation of much semblance of control as they appear to exercise through the Inter-Allied Con- trol Commission, -
At the time of the publication of the Peace Treaty the general impression was provalent throughout the Allied coun tries that the main object of that Treaty was to bring about the end of all war and to make it possible for the inhabitants of those countries really to feel that, as Lord Fisher expressed it, they could "sleep sourdly in their beds.".
Broadly speaking, the main objects of the Treaty may be summed up by saying |that it stipulated measures. for "what was presumed to be effective control of the activities of our late enemies in regard to their resources for war preparation. The numbers of men, gurs, shells, fac tories for the production of explosives, etc., were to be rigidly controlled. Munt- tion factories of any description were to be tolerated only when the whole of the facts in regard to them had been considered and their continuation licensed by the Inter-Allied Control Commission.
P) CAMOUFLAGE POLICZ,
It has become notorious that the Gor- mans have devised methods for evading strict regulation of their urmies by the camouflage of whole bodies of men as police of various kinds, and they have a system. of organization which would enable them at short notice to turn these men into efficient soldiers. As regards the factories, it was presumed that such measures would be taken as would effectively guard against the repetition of, the poison-gus campaign on any scale, coralituting a threat to neighbouring countries. this purpose it was imagined, that the Inter-Allied Control would stipulate that, no matter by what name they were now called, the factories where poison- gas was made, and, which were through- out the whole war period nothing else but arsenals for warlike preparations, should be reduced in seale, and that the production of poison-gas in huge quan- tity at a moment's notice would be made impossible.
For
It would soom, however, that a policy of this kind, so disential to the world's security, is no longer a fixed aim of the Allies, but is now in process of abandon- ment. The facts of the present position of Germany would, on the contrary, rather tend to show that if any change in the control were made, it should bo in the direction of strengthening the powers of those who have to exercise it. Timp and again they have discovered, in spite of the deliberate opposition with which they were mas concealed atores of munitions of all kinds.

It would appear that. the action of the Inter-Allied Commission in deciding whe ther or not a given piece of chemical. plant-for example, such as daring the war was undoubtedly employed in the preparation of poison-gas-should or should not be dismantled, did not de pend on considerations of, high policy, such as those just indicated. It depend ed, on the contrary, on whether or not the Germans could put forward a plaum); Responses, Ferial; Venita, Baraby; sible explanation that the plant was now being used for making some harmless sub- stance, such as dyes or fertilizers, in which case it was left intact, no matter how important the fact of its presence might be for its ultimate use solely for war pur
poses.
FIXED NITROGEN.
Everybody knows that the basic raw material for the production of all man- Ber of war explosives is an abundant Bupply of fixed nitrogen "in the form of nitric acid and ammonia. It is well known that aface the war therò is no sub- ject to which the German Government and loading industrialists have given more attention than the continued development of their already enormous resources in fixed nitrogen. Experimenta conducted under Government suspices have shown that, by repeated "Fertilization with nitrogen fertilizers, very large increases: in food crops can be obtained. And the settled policy of the Gorman Government has been to encourage, by every means in Its power, the continual growth of the works for producing these substances by Lanx or all of the established processes.
It may safely be said that there is no problem on which German chemical indus try has spent more capital than the tongion of the nitrogen plants, especially the synthetic ammonia planta belonging to the Badische Company at Oppau on the Rhine, and at Merseburg in Saxony In epite of the alleged poverty of Germany and her inability to pay what she owes för, reparations, the Uppau factory has been completely restored since the explosion of September, 1921, and is nowín a position to produce at full capacity.
