under all patents and processes for
their exclusive territories, that
Dupont and ICI attempt to obtain
benefits arrived at with third parties
for allocating world markets and
acquiring chronological develop
mentS, and that they cooperate
to eliminate other competition
throughout the world.
DUPONT is characterized in the
complaint as the largest manufac-
utre of chemical products in the
United States, with assets of nearly
81, 00O, 100000, including approx
mately % per cent of General Mo-
tors Corp. stock.
The complaint describes Reming-
ton Arms as the nations largest
manufacturer of sporting arms and
ammunition, controlled since 1888
by Dupont.
1t also asserts that ICI, having a
virtual monopoly of Great Britain's
chemical industry, was formed by
the merger of four major British
companies with the intention not
only to monopolizing the chemical
industry in the United Kingdom but
of joining with other world chemical
manufacturers, including l. G. Far
benindustrie of Germany and
Dupont, to safeguard its position.
ICI Of New York, according to the
complaint, conducts no independent
business operations of its own but
acts solely as agent for transacting
ICI's business in the United States.
The suit states that in 1885 the cor
poration was described as ICI's

Increased u. S. Aid
The report dramatized in multiple
ciphers the increasing flow Of Amer
lean war aid to the Allies. In the
section on supplies for Russia, the
President cited figures showing that
through last october this country
sent to the Soviet Union nearly
1000 airplanes, more than to any
other lend-lease country" more
than $500 tanks and 195,000 motor
vehicles--all this in addition to vast
quantities of food, clothing, steel
and munitions.
The Presidents report also went
into the postwar problems OF oil
production and use of foreign air
ports, putting before congress two
suggested international agreements
to provide for fair and equal
access" by the United States and
other nations to world oil produc-
ton, and to establish a system of
general military security" to watch
over world airfields.
Aid to Russia through last Octo-
Der was valued at $3.50, 433, 900 "or
more than one-fourth of lend-lease
exports to all countries" The flow
of American material to the Red
Army was speeded greatly in 1913,
with the ratio during the first 10
months of 1943 some SO per cent
higher than for all of 1912.
Total Exports
Total lend-lease exports to the
United Kingdom were valued at S.
$50, 379, 900; some $2,168, 299, 900 went
to Africa, the middle east and the
Mediterranean area, and 81, sos, 346,-
900 to China, India. Australia and
New Zealand. These figures cover
ed the period from March II, 1941,
through October, 1913 whereas the
overall total Of $18,608, 553, 900 COW
cred the period through November.
Possibly as a reply to critics of
government spending policies in
South and Central America, the re-
port said that from March, 1941,
to October 81, 1913, total lend
lease shipments to Latin America
to $116,543, 900 and that
the arrangements to supply war
to those countries had
the approval Of the high command.

Russia, however, maintained
silence on the military situation
at tn eborder. So far Moscow had
made no report of Soviet operations
beyond the pre-war boundary. In
stead, the official reports dwelt on
a swing OF the Red Army south

A German communique revealed
that the Russians had gone into
action after a long lull in the areas
of Kriv Rog, keystone OF the Man

bend, on a front stretching north

1890 Osquare miles of territory

Grave German concern over the
plight of the Nazi forces in Russia
was reflected in another Stockholm
report quoting a Berlin spokesman
as saying that the winter line IN the

Plan Fair Oil
Supply Share

Washington, Jan. 6. - (UP)-
President Roosevelt took occasion
in his lend-lease report to congress
today to suggest postwar interna-
tional agreements for fair and
equal access" to world oil resources
and a system of general military
security" to govern to use Of world
airfields.
At the same time, the President
cautioned against the idea that
greater oil production in foreign
fields will mean more gasoline for
American motorists during wartime.
Any new foreign supplies, he said.
| will be Offset by the fact that the
overall oil requirements Of the
United Nations in 1914 will rise 'as
the magnitude Of our offensive in

report said, the nations of the
world. including the United States,
will require petroleum to maintain
their industrialized economies. Dis
coveries Of new oil fields will UNI

known oil reserves and, as in the
past, the steady development OF
chronological improvements in oil
production will make 1t possible to
draw on oil reserves which cannot
now be tapped.

Turning to the question OF post
war international use OF airfields,
the chief executives report indi-
Gated that American claims to use
of foreign air facilities would be
based on improvements made on
those facilities at lend-lease ex-
pense.
The report noted that the airfield
