Abstract
A MEMORANDUM (Cd. 9194, price 2d.) has just been issued by the Board of Trade giving details of the scheme for the allocation and administration of the funds provided by Parliament for assistance in the development of the dye industry. It is pointed out that the primary object of the financial assistance to be given is to make the British textile users of dyes independent of German dyestuffs, and to enable the manufacturers to bring down the cost of production to a point at which competition with the large-scale industry of Germany will be commercially possible. Loans and grants of money are to be given to assist in the provision of buildings and plant, and for the maintenance of a system of research. These funds are additional to and independent of the moneys already advanced to the firm known as British Dyes, Ltd. There are dyes which at the present time are not being manufactured in this country at all, or are being made in quantities insufficient for the reasonable needs of dye users, and in this direction especially encouragement is needed.
