2621. Several bills in Congress for protection of dye industry and prevention of dumping. Great pressure being brought by manufacturers and consumers for some legislation to encourage manufacture of dyes here. Strong sentiment in Congress for action on ground that legislation prohibitive of imports is necessary to meet emergency. Use this information as you think wise. Some action probable.
