I Press) OF German chemical
and dye patents to the Chemical
Foundation was an act OF protection
to A merican industry. and patri-
otto and entirely legal procedure.
Senator Underwood. Alabama. Demo-
cratic leader in the Senate asserted
IN a speech today TO the Senate.
Underwood's speech was ostensi-
bly, a discussion of the bill he intro
ddeed last week creating a commits
sion to arrange for payment OF the
claims OF American citizens against
GERMANS for damage and loss sus-
tanned during the war. In reality IL
was an argument inSdefense Of the
sale of the German dye patents to
tlr1 Chemical Foundation.
Underwood reviewed the entire
history of the transaction citing the
Ia, option by Congress of an amend
nent TO the trading with the enemy
act authorizing the Alien Property
|Ngstodian to sell. not only the bust
|nesses controlled by enemy aliens
but the patents upon which those
businesses depended. The patents,
he pointed out. were mostly OF two
classes-guns and ordinance in one
class, dyes. chemicals and medicines
in the other.
The report filed by A. Mitchell Pal
mer Of his activities as Alien Prop
cry Custodian "effiectually disposes
OF the charge that there was
fraudulent conspiracy on the part of
those in the alien property custo-
dams office who erected the chemi-
cal foundation and sold these pat
epts to it," said Underwood. THE
charge has been repeatedly made
that Mr.. Garvan, as Alien Property
Custodian. sold these patents TO
himself as president OF the Chem
ical Foundation. II will be seen
fsom this report. however, that the
entire plan was devised and per-
fected and the sale made while Mr..
