Abstract
AMONG the problems comprehended under that somewhat elastic term “Reconstruction,” none is more important to the economic future of this nation than the organisation of its chemical industry. The position in which we stood immediately after the outbreak of hostilities revealed only too plainly with what foresight and craft Germany had organised her trade and linked up her manufactures in view of the world-wide conflict upon which she deliberately and “of malice prepense” embarked after forty years of sedulous preparation. So intimate a union as was then made manifest between the governing powers and the leaders of industry, and of chemical industry in particular, in the common effort to secure the domination of the world is without a parallel in history.
