MORGAN RECORDS

Washington, Sept. 6-(UP)-The
state department is acting as GUS
todian of truck load of records OF
the wartime financing activities OF
]. P. Morgan and Co.
The records were taken to the
state department for safe keeping
as result of disclosure by the Nye
munitions investigating committee
The British and French govern
ments had raised objections to the
records being made public.
The state department is taking
no part in the investigation but has
made the records available to the
Nye committee investigators on the
same basis that the state depart

The documents cover the period
from 1914 to 1917 when the Nor
gan company acted as fiscal agents
for some of the allied governments
while the United States was still a
neutral. Arrangements for taking
the records to the state department
were made after consultations be-
tween state department officials
and committee investigators.
