HARDING TO LINE UP SQUARELY BEHIND DYE EMBARGO
Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) On August 10, 1921, New York Tribune reporter Carter Field wrote that "the Harding administration in the next few days will line up squarely for the continuance of the dye embargo."
According to Field, if Congress were to remove the embargo it would make the United States the only nation at the forthcoming disarmament conference which has not made arrangements to protect "its potential gas and explosive factories from German competition."
Mr. Field reports that "President Harding will take a hand in behalf of the embargo...making the prospects...very bright for the continuance of the barrier."
