When the British chemist Harold Hartley, acting as an international arms inspector, arrived at Haber s institute in 1921 to check for research on forbidden weapons, Haber greeted him with a bit of theater. Why haven t you come before he asked Hartley with mock dismay. I was looking forward to going over our records with you and only last month we had a most unfortunate fire. They were all burnt. Look at the roof Hartley, who enjoyed telling this story for years afterward, looked up and saw a large hole covered with tarpaulins. I m sure you have a good memory, Hartley replied. 

In Paris, a concrete offer arrived, the first one that Haber found truly attractive. In one of the bizarre twists that fill the final chapter of Haber s life, it had been arranged by his former foes, a trio of England s World War I gas warriors Harold Hartley, Frederic Donnan of Imperial College in London, and Sir William...

In February 1921, support for Lefebure came from another industrial quarter, when Herbert Levinstein wrote Harold Hartley, complaining that the MICC lacked sufficient expertise to supervise the German industry, and that Bingham s section was allowing Germans to hide behind claims that their plants were being used for peaceful purposes - a claim the Board of Trade was compelled to allow. 

Harold Hartley (1878-1972) was educated at Dulwich and Oxford, and studied chemistry with Richard Willstatter in Munich, before graduating from Oxford in 1900, and becoming a Fellow of Balliol. In 1915, he was sent to France as Chemical Adviser, Third Army. In 1917, he became Assistant Director of Gas Services at GHQ, and in 1918, transferred to the Ministry of Munitions as director of the Chemical Warfare Department. In 1919, the department was transferred to the Artillery, and he returned to Oxford. In 1921, he helped set up the Research and Development Establishment of the War Office, and served on its Chemical Warfare Board until the 1950s. See Biog. Memoirs, Fellows of the Royal Society, 19 (December 1973), 348-373, esp. 356-357.
