statement that he was compelled to

Franklin would receive every oppor

Admiral Benson, chairman of the

said he would place a copy of the

He added that he only recently
learned of the agreement and was
not in sympathy with It.
Senator Jones also accused the

chamber of commerce, of "wittingly

that his reason for doing so was that
