Abstract
THERE can be no question that the whole problem of a national dyestuffs industry depends on the production of ‘intermediates.’ The allied industries of fine chemicals, explosives, artificial perfumes, and medicinal products also rely on the same source for the life-blood of their existence; in fact, many of the materials they produce are the ‘intermediates’ themselves. It is essential, therefore, that any nation which realises the necessity for a self-contained and efficient industry in this most vital department must see to it that not only the sources of its intermediates is secure, but also that the scientific knowledge by which the crude materials can be transposed into those capable of being used in the various industries is ready to hand.
