STANDARD OIL
COMPANY PRESIDENT REPLIES TO CHARGES VIGOROUS DENIAL MADE. CONTRACTS WITH GERMAN CONCERN. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 10.5 a.m.) WASHINGTON. March 31. Mr Parish, president of the Standard’ Oil Company, appeared before the Senate Defence Investigations Committee to answer the testimony of Mr Thurman Arnolds, Assistant AttorneyGeneral. Mr Farish said any charges that the Standard Oil Company or any of its officers had been in the slightest respect disloyal to the United States were unwarranted and untrue. “I repel all such insinuations with all the vigour at my command,” he said. "I do so with indignation and resentment. Moreover, I wish to assert with conviction that whether the several contracts made with the I. G. Farbenindustrie did or did not fall within the borders set by the Patent Statutes and the Sherman Act, they did inure greatly to the advance of American industry, and more than any other' thing made possible our present war activities in aviation gasoline, tutuol / explosives and synthetic rubber itself.”
