NEW MARKET FOR-JAPANESE
GOODS. AN According to a telegram receiv- ed in certain quarters it appears that Prague, the capital of the Czech Government, is demanding
Japanesegoods. There are already plenty of Japanese manufactures in the city. In pre-war times most of the goods came from Vianna in Austria, but these imports have stopped on the outbreak of war, so they have now turned to Japan for a supply. It is said that the purchasing| power of the city is very large and that the Czech Minister is desirous of importing goods from Japan.

Two meetings were held and the members of the Allied Conference agreed in principle to the formation of an Inter-Allied Federation, of Pure and Applied Chemistry. This resolution will be remitted to the societies and associations con- cerned for ratification. It is hoped that the Federation will be definitely established in July. In the opinion of Professor Louis, there is bardly any limit to the possibilities of the International Federation. Germany, he says.) has more or less dominated the chemical world by sheer force of "bluff. People had got it into theit, heads that, the Germans were the leading chemists of the world.

Now that Alsace had been recovered by the French there would be an -abundance of raw material, and therefore, if we chose to work, there was no reason why the Allied chemists should not hold their own.
