COTTON FARMERS ARE DEPRIVED OF GERMAN KALI Berlin, Dec. 9.?Gentian industrial circles are both stirred and puzzled Aver the decision of the United Stat es government to revoke the permis-| ?on granted to Director General. Dnehressen of the Kali Potash syn-j iieate, to go to America for the ^ur-j pose of negotiating a large potash: deal. Duehressen was given permission, by Washington to go to America, but upon his "arrival at Genoa, whence he! was to sail, he was advised that the j permission had been withdrawn. No I reasons were given for the decision! to cancel the permission. Prior to the war the United States v bought $20,000,000 worth of potash: aanually from Germany as fertilizer1 for American farmers, particularly cotton growers. The Germans made heavy cuts in the prices for the fertilizer, and they; bow declare that it would mean much cheaper fertilizer for American farm- j en and greater profits fot the cotton growers. It is believed that interests; i? the ^United States who still have ! tege-quantities of Kali, which was purchased at high prices, want to compel the farmers to buy that, and ' are therefore instrumental in keeping ' atytjie much cheaper German Kali,! and have succeeded in having the ' s Duehressen permission revoked. :In Kali circles it is declared that I the Germans are now ready to take' in American capital ip the German i syndicate up to twenty per cent.
