without receiving any money and
declared he thought the statement
was released i'm an attempt to re-

The president, he said, knew Of
the agreement.
Apparently because Of the COM
mission, the prices were so high
that the Russians did not buy the

and licensing agreement, and later
discovered that he could not pro-
cure an exclusive sales agency for
Russia because it had been given
to Mr.. Elliott Roosevelt and GER
