STATEMENT OF THE AMERICAN POT¬ 
ASH BUYERS’ COMMITTEE: 
In January 28 of The R. N.-Y. there 
appears an advertisement signed “Ger¬ 
man Kali Works, by H. A. Huston, Sec¬ 
retary,” from which the following state¬ 
ment is quoted: 
“Mr. Robert Bradley did not sign the 
contract July 1 , 1909.” That is an un¬ 
qualified misstatement, as can be easily 
proven by reference to the original 
Bradley-Schmidtmann contract, bearing 
my signature, on file in the Department 
of State at Washington. 
In a recent brief of Mr. Vogel, the 
General Representative of the Potash 
Syndicate in the United States, the 
statement is made that this contract was 
merely a “purely tentative memoran¬ 
dum” and that I had no authority from 
The American Agricultural Chemical 
Company to sign a contract. 
On this basic misrepresentation a long 
argument is elaborated in an attempt to 
prove that I was officially notified be¬ 
fore I made my contracts that the Ger¬ 
man government would invalidate any 
contract I might make for Potash at 
prices below those fixed by the syndi¬ 
cate, and that, therefore, I have no 
claim for redress. 
The contract I signed on July 1, 1909, 
with Mr. Schmidtmann was as complete 
and as legally binding a contract as 
could be drawn, and I personally guar¬ 
anteed its specific performance. As to 
my authority for making it on behalf 
of The American Agricultural Chemical 
Company, I had in my possession a spe¬ 
cial Power of Attorney, dated June 7, 
1909, duly authorized by a vote of the 
Directors of the Company, executed by 
its President, witnessed by its Counsel, 
attested and seal affixed by its Secre¬ 
tary, acknowledged before a Notary Pub¬ 
lic, and viseed by the German Consul 
General of New York. This Power of 
Attorney is also on file in the Depart¬ 
ment of State. 
Moreover, on the same morning of 
July 1 , 1909, acting under the same 
Power of Attorney, I made another con¬ 
tract with a group of five of the most 
important Potash mines in Germany, 
which contract has been assumed and is 
now being fulfilled by the Potash Syndi¬ 
cate in strict conformity with its terms 
and conditions. 
Can Mr. Pluston explain why one of 
these contracts is recognized as com¬ 
plete and valid, while the other is pro¬ 
nounced a mere memorandum, even 
lacking my signature? 
It was never intimated to me, directly 
or indirectly, that the German Govern¬ 
ment contemplated passing legislation 
which would invalidate any contracts 
below Syndicate prices until about ten 
days after I had secured my contracts, 
when Geheimrat Kempner (now Presi¬ 
dent of the Kali Syndicate) threatened 
me with such governmental action un¬ 
less I consented to surrender or com¬ 
promise my contracts in some way sat¬ 
isfactory to the Syndicate. 
These are the incontestable facts, and 
such an attempt to justify a law which 
constitutes the substantial repudiation 
of legally executed contracts by gov¬ 
ernmental action is an affront to the in¬ 
telligence of the people of the United 
States and should receive the rebuke it 
deserves. 
As to Mr. Huston’s “belief” that 
“The German Foreign Minister did not 
assure Ambassador Hill that ‘it (the 
law) would not invalidate or impair 
the American contracts.’ ” 
I think it mattery little to the Ameri¬ 
can public what Mr. Huston’s “belief” 
may be on this subject when the actual 
facts are known. It is a matter of rec¬ 
ord that Dr. Hill, the American Am¬ 
bassador in Berlin, has made the state¬ 
ment and has reported it to Washing¬ 
ton that he was assured by the Foreign 
Minister of Germany that the law 
“would not invalidate or impair” the 
American contracts, and I believe the 
American people will accept that state¬ 
ment from its official representative in 
Berlin rather than the “belief” of the 
representative of the Potash Trust. 
No doubt “the potash business is get¬ 
ting lots of advertising,” but of a kind 
the Syndicate least desires. This con¬ 
troversy has certainly advertised one 
important fact extensively—that the 
German Syndicate is resorting to heroic 
efforts to sustain its Potash monopoly 
in order to extort an enormous yearly 
tribute from the American farmers by 
maintaining Potash prices at 200 per 
cent above the cost of production, and 
100 per cent above the prices obtained 
from independent mines by 75 per cent 
of the Potash buyers of the United 
States. ROBERT S. BRADLEY.

Committee.
