Address  of  Francis  P.  Garvan 
5  Am.  Jour,  Pharm. 
(       Oct.,  1921. 
"The  President  of  the  Bayer  Chemical  Company,  at  that  time 
the  head  representative  of  this  march  for  world  control  in  America, 
although  on  paper  an  American  citizen,  acting  under  instructions 
from  the  consolidated  government  and  chemical  industries  of  Ber- 
lin, went  to  Commissioner  Moore  at  the  Patent  Office  in  Washing- 
ton. It  was  the  beginning  of  one  of  Washington's  hot  summers. 
With  fulsome  praise  of  his  outstanding  position  in  the  patent  world 
and  the  great  inventive  genius  of  this  country  needing  protection, 
he  reproached  him  for  not  representing  the  United  States  at  the 
International  Patent  Conference  about  to  be  held  in  Stockholm.  Mr. 
Moore  responded  that  the  unenlightened  Congress  had  not  given 
him  any  funds  with  which  to  go.  Mr.  Moore  then  went  on  his 
vacation.  Mr.  Muurling,  the  predecessor  of  Schweitzer  and  Metz 
as  the  American  voice  of  Germany's  chemical  interests,  went  to 
Robert  Bacon,  then  acting  Secretary  of  State,  drew  the  picture  of 
the  United  States  unrepresented  at  that  great  conference,  pointed 
out  to  him  that  he  had  a  fund  which  he  could  apply  to  any  purpose 
which  he  deemed  for  the  best  interests  of  the  country  in  its  foreign 
relations,  with  the  result  that  Mr.  Moore  was  recalled  from  his  vaca- 
tion and  sent  abroad,  but  with  him  went  a  letter  to  the  German 
chemists,  telling  them  that  the  American  representative  of  the  Ger- 
man dream  had  done  his  part  and  that  they  must  now  do  theirs. 
"The  result  was  that  Moore  was  induced  to  go  from  Stock- 
holm to  Berlin,  where  he  was  feted  and  dined  by  the  Kaiser  him- 
self and  returned  to  negotiate  the  treaty  of  1909  with  Germany,  by 
which  Germany, was  released  from  ever  working  her  chemical  pat- 
ents in  this  country  and  by  which  the  last  hope  of  development  of 
organic  chemistry  in  this  country  was  crushed.  No  more  loyal 
Americans  ever  lived  than  Robert  Bacon  and  Commissioner  Moore, 
but  they  were  unconscious  tools  in  the  hands  of  the  German  chem- 
ists, the  handmaidens  of  the  German  dream  of  world  control.  And 
you  were  to  blame  because  you  had  not  instructed  your  government 
officials  up  to  a  realization  of  the  importance  of  chemistry  and  its 
guidance  and  protection  by  the  State." 
'Tn  Germany  today  industrial  reorganization  for  world  domina- 
tion first  in  the  peaceful  arts  and  then  in  war  is  proceeding  mightily 
under  the  sympathetic  eye  and  fostering  care  of  a  government  which 
differs  in  no  important  particular,  so  far  as  the  world  outside  of 
Germany  is  concerned,  from  the  government  of  the  Hohenzollerns,"
