Huge Supplies of U. S. War Materials
Going to Axis Powers, Claims Solon;
Committee Seeks Official Comment
Washington, June 4 JP) Tha house rules committee voted
today to ask for official comment on assertions by Rep. Coffee
(O.-Wash.) that huge supplies of United States war materials
are t be licensed for shipment to the axis powers and Russia.
Chairman Sabbath (D.Jll.)l
announced that the committee
would hear General R. L. Max
well, administrator of export
control; representatives of the
state department, Coflee and a
dozen other congressmen tomor
row in executive session.
Coffee told the committee that
600,000 barrels of high-test gaso
line had been shipped to Japan
alone during March, 1941, and
commented:
"Now we face fsoline-less
Sundays.
Shipments of materials of war,
such as machine tools, ail and
manufacturing equipment, to
Russia "have increased BOO per
cent recently. Coffee said, add'
Ing that some of such supplies
were being sent to Germany and
Italy.
Coffee said In a statement that
the materials were going to the
axis through "third parties" and
'dummies." He urged the com
mitter to permit immediate con
sideration on the floor of the
house of his resolution (HCR 30)
calling for a congressional in
vestigation on the situation.
"American and even British
cnmpnnles are selling supplies to
the axis against the spirit of our
defense effort il not against the
letter of the law," he said.
tie said that a contract re
cently was reported to have been
renewed under which United
State and British oil companies
were delivering millions of bar
rels of oil to Japan from the
Netherlands East Indies. There
also had been reports, he said,
of oil exports from California to
Japan and of oil deliveries by
United States and British com
panies from South America and
the West Indies to neutral Afri
can ports.
"Trade in war materials is
the least of our dealings with
axis powers," Coffee said.
"American companies are par
ticipants with these powers In
international patent pools. In
surance pools, shipping pools,
cartel agreements, gold pur
chases, financial arrangements
wherbey money, credit and in
telligence are exchanged solely
to the advantage of 'double-dea.-lng
patriots' in America and
their axis partners.
"An investigation cf present
conditions now may lead to
measures which could shorten
the war by several tars. In
deed it might result in changing
its entire outcome. On the
other hand, an apathetic atti
tude towards the double-dealing
rituatlons which now exist may
lend to disaster."

mately BOO per cent recently.

SUGGESTED BY OIL
FIRMS AS SAVING
Washington, June 4 (.&)
Gasless Sundays and other re
strictions throughout 'i'.e United
States, and possible conserva
tion measures affecting the
whole of the western hemis
phere, were suggested by the oil
industry today as means of meet
ing expected shortages in pet
roleum. The industry's report said the
east would begin to feel a pet
roleum deficiency by July 1 and
this vould be intensified pro
gressively into autumn and the
next year.
The oil men. here for talks
with government officials, rec
ommended creation of an Indus
trj committee and its spokesmen
pledged cooperation "to any ex
tent" in meeting needs of au)
ply.
Formed at the request of the
office of production manage
ment the industry committee
submitted its report to Secretary
Ickes, recently designated by
President Roosevelt as petroleum
coordinator for nationnl defense.
"Any restriction that may be
necessary by reason of national
defense." the report said, "should
be shared equitably by the en
tire western hemisphere, or at
least by all of the United States."
The mention of restriction on
Sunday use of automobiles
backed a suggestion made by
Ickes last week.
It also was suggested by the
oil men that petroleum could be
saved by converting many furn
aces from, oil to coal, And poss
ibly by lowering home tempera
tures during winter.
