PARIS, France, June 4—Negotia- tions for a nitrate cartel affecting world markets outsid> the United States are under way in Paris between Chilcan producers and European _synthetic nitrate manufacturers. As with other commodities, there is overproduction of nitrogen products in the Chilean mines and wartime synthetic equipment is turning out more nitrogen than can be consumed in agriculture or industry. Except for last year's agreement, prices might have fallen below the produc- tion cost, and even with the agree- ment they are now much below the pre- war level. Chile has a monopoly on natural nitrate. The or» is dug out in the natural state and treated by new, eco- nomical low temperature processes. A ‘merger of virtually all Chilean com- pani's has just been completed and permits the most economical procuc- tion of nitrate of soda, The ore can Dbe taken where it can be most conven- jently treated at low:st cost plants, and it is easier for one management to mar- ket the product. The high cost of pro- duction ~ and destructive competition among Chilean produc:rs have been eliminated. Chile Lifts"Export Tax.

Other things being equal, Chilean natural producers and European syn- thetic manufacturers work on equal terms. The production costs of natural Chilean nitrate and synthetic nitrogen in a well designed plant are probably substantially the same, although two new plants of the Chilean company, with a capacity of 1,300,000 tons an. nually and operating under a new process, probably have a considerably | lower cost of production. Chile exports normally between 1,200,000 and 1,400,- 000 tons to Europe annually. Important in Defense. There are 11 European countries producing synthetic nitrogen—Norway and Italy, with abundant hydroelectric power; British Imperial Chemicals; Germany, the Ig and Farbenindustrie; Holland, Poland, Czechoslovakia; Bel- gium, with several big private plants; France, with government and private plants, and other countries with minor production. France is an important | user of nitrogen fertilizers. | In the early stages of manufacture, th: Chilean product can be turned into | nitric acid for use in the making of | high explosives. Germany had a stock of 1,000,000 tons when the war started | and was able to fight the war two years on_this supply. Because it is possible to use nitro- gen production as a matter of na- tional d-fence, the negotiations have been conducted doubtless with this im- portant factor in mind. European gov- ernments wish to keep the present syn- | thetic plants operating. Recent de- | crees and laws passed in some coun- tries like France were for this purpose and also to give local producers a better Trading posttion.

In 10 days the improvement will be so marked you will never again say that white teeth are a gift received only by a fortunate few. Dentists have long advocated the Dry-Brush Technique as the one way to use a dental cream full strength and keep brush bristles stiff enough to clean every tooth surface and mas- sage gums properly. Kolynos permits this approved technique. This highly concentrated, double- strength dental cream is unique in action. It multiplies 25 times when it enters the mouth—thus a half- inch of Kolynos is equal in effect- iveness to 12 inches of the ordinary toothpaste. It becomes a surging, antiseptic FOAM that makes wetting the tooth brush unnecessary. Teeth 3 shadesWhitel‘ in 3 days diseases are instantly killed. They van- ish and“the entire mouth is purified. Kolynos kills 190 milliongerms in15 seconds, 424 million in 60 seconds. This amazing Kolynos FOAM re- moves food particles that ferment and cause decay...neutralizes acids... washes away tartar and the unsightly mucoid coating that clouds tecth. Easily and quickly, it cleans and polishes teeth down to the naked white enamel—without injury. And for 3 hours after each brushing this cleansing, purifying process continues.
