 What Trenspired Today
 Washington, Sept 14-(UP)-A Du Pont company agent suggested that his home office make ''repre- sentations" to the state department in an effort to lift British restric- tions on exports of explosives to China during hostilities in 1883, the senate munitions committee learned today.
 Evidence that Lammot Du Pont. president of the company, sought permission from the department of state in 1892 to sell rights to secret hydrogen processes to the huge Mitsui company of Japan also was placed before the committee.
 The Canton and Ranking gov ernments were fighting at that time.
 The evidence came after con- ference between the Investigating committee and Secretary of State Cordell Hull and Secretary of Com. merce Daniel C. Roper to discuss international complications coming out of the hearings. Chairman Gerald F. Nye, R., N. D.. said both Hull and Roper manifested a spirit of complete cooperation.
 The conference delayed the start of the third session of questioning of the four Du Ponts-Pierre, S. Felix, Lammot and Irenee.
 The Representation" suggestion came from R. Montague Smith, who acted for the Du Fonts and their British ally. Imperial Chem ical Industries, Ltd., at Shanghai
 He reported that orders for ship. ment of high explosives and hand

 Smith complained of difficulties in obtaining a permit a"d suggest. ed:
 sTt would be a great help to conduct business If these restric- tions could be lifted. and we sug- gest that representations be made to British foreign office and the state department in Washington in this respect.
 Ut could be stated in this repre- sentation that on no account would military munitions be supplied to the Cantonese government if 8 state of war existed between them and the central government"
 LAmmot Du Pont was shown in an office memorandum signed by him on March 30, 1882, to have called on the then Assistant Secre- tary James G. Rodgers, in connec- ton with negotiations with the Japanese Mitsui company.
 Lammot wrote that the appoint ment was arranged by Senator John c. Townsend, r, Del. and that Pierre s. Du Pont and Dr Stanley Hornbeclx, Asiatic expert of the de- partment, also were present.
 He said Rodgers was informed that:
 tThe deal was an important one to the Du Pont company; that we were given to understand that ths process was not primarily for mill. fary purposes: that having thi. process did not mean that Mitsu and company or the Japanese na' ton could produce any more am naonfa. nitric acid or munitions than they could without the pro cess. but that 1t would mean theii ammonia could be produced nor, cheaply.
 sThere might be some value 1T d continuation of friendly relation, between Mitsuf and Du Pont from the international point of view that the desire of Mitsui and com pany to acquire the process pre- ceded any warlike activities be tween Japan and China.
 ss,Du Font felt some embarrass ment in pefusing to deal with Nit sui af this time. 1t being neces Eary to reverse our previous posi- flon, if we were to take the stan
