Scope and content

Letter to Canon Hayes from 'W.R.' regarding the chemical engineering firm Sungmaster & Breyer ('Some months ago I interested a New York firm of chemical engineers in the possibility of Ireland manufacturing its own nitrogenous fertilizer, such as ammonium sulphate'). The author goes into the logistical details of operating such a plant. He writes that he has wrote about the idea to others who passed it up the line to Cemici Teo. but have heard nothing back. He believes getting Muintir na Tíre involved with the project 'will mark a turning point for the country because it will be an object lesson that people can do much more for themselves by acting intelligently in their common interests than any bureaucrats can do for them.'
