ment firm. Mr.. Harris said the
companies failed for many
years to file annual reports

failed to require such periodic
reports.
when these reports were
fled" Mr.. Harris said, "they
disclosed numerous financial ir-
regularities concerning which

Whether this ronaction is be-
cause of inadequacies of the
law or other reasons is a mat

The subcommittee is study
ing a problem of fundamental
Importance. To exercise an in

mittee must have answers from
you, Mr.. Goldfine, concerning
your exploitation for your own
personal profit of the assets Of
the East Boston Co. and its
controlled subsidiary, the Bos-
ton Port Development Co. The
questions to be propounded to
you are intended to elicit precise
information as to the nature
of the mismanagement inflicted
by you upon a registered COM
pany and thereby assist the
subcommittee in fulfilling It's
responsibility of ascertaining
whether the various securities
acts and their administration
afford adequate protection TO
investors and to the public"

much less spectacular than his
1858 appearance when he teSti-

Presidential Assistant Sherman

however.
In his earlier appearance
Mr.. Goldfine contended the +
questions about finances of /
the Boston companies were not
pertinent to the scope of the
inquiry. He said that on advice
of counsel he refused to answer
them.
The subcommittee report
that caused the House to cite |
Mr.. Goldflne for contempt of |
Congress charged that Mr.. |
Goldflne's refusal to answer
was "a specious attempt to kill
of pertinent questions exposing
the evil of exploitation of cor
porate assets by a dominant |
Stockholder."
Accused of Milking Firm
Subcommittee Counsel Robert
w. Lishman, in asking the dis
puted questions, described Mr.. |
Goldf1ne as having MIXED the
Boston Port Development Co.
to the detriment of stockhold-
ers by borrowing large sums
from it, receiving a large COM
mission, and making other f.
nancial moves. Several Of the
questions involved alleged debts
of other persons to the COM
panies.
The situation has been
further complicated by the
death Of one or more persons
originally mentioned in some
of the questions. Moreover, Mr..
Goldf1ne's finances have become
the subject of Internal Revenue
Service study and the basis of
a Federal Court civil case in
Boston. His failure to produce
certain records resulted in a
contempt of court conviction
against him in Boston. His ap-
peal is pending in the Supreme

The 112-year-old African
curious pre-Civil War marriage
between American philanthro-
pists and slave-owners
Through the generosity OF
their owners or their own in
dustry. many Negro slaves OBJ
tanned their freedom. AS the
number of freedmen grew
their economic plight attracted
the concern Of men Of good
will. When slave rebellionI
often led by free Negroes broke
out in the South, bedrock
slavers joined forces with the
philanthropists to see what
could be done to repatriate the
freedmen to Africa.
The Virginia State Legisla-
ture recommended that Ne
groes obnoxious to the laws OF
dangerous to the peace" be SC
dealt with. From this synthesis
of charity and fear grew the
American Colonization Society
q private group which under
took to buy land on the West
Coast Of Africa and transport
those free Negroes who wished
to settle there.
Maryland Forms Society
Maryland, which in 1890 hat
a population of 100000, Of
which IS per cent were Ne
groes, regarded her situation
in such a grave light that she
established, with a $1,000 APP
priation from the State Legis-
lature, her own colonization
society.
Later Congress appropriated
100000 to resettle the human
cargoes of slave ships seized
on the high seas by the Amer
lean Navy.
In 1921 the American Col
onization Society bartered bull
lets. beads, umbrellas, tobacco
rum and other goodies for a
stretch of coast 100 miles long
and 40 miles deep in what is
now Liberia.
The first load of colonistS
and the survivors of an abor-
tive colonization attempt fur
ther north Jared badly. Sick
ness wiped out a third of the
settlers and the healthy were
harried by the natives. Only
the timely arrival of a U. s
warship and the leadership OF
an American Episcopal minis
ter known to Liberian history
as 1.-THE Prophet" saved the
struggling colony.
Adopts U. S. Flag
Two hundred miles to the
south, 81 Baltimore Negroes
ranging in age from two to
10 years were landed in what
was to be known as Maryland
in-L;beria.
AS its flag, Maryland-in-
Liberia adopted the United
States flag with the stars re-
placed by a cross. The capital
was named Harper after Gen.
Goodloe Harper, one of the
earliest Marylanders to advo-
cate colonization as a solution
to the States race problem
Good clean cotton" was estab-
lished as the medium of ex-
change until some currency
could be printed in Baltimore
These bore reproductions OF
goats, ducks, tobacco leaves
and chickens, and were much
admired by the local gentry.
Liberia won its independence
in l847 under the Presidency Of
]. j. Roberts, a Virginia C3to-
room. The new republics con-
stitution was drafted by Har-
verd law professor. It's flag. with
IL alternating red and white
stripes representing the sign

whose citizens had established
the infant republic, withheld
recognition until 1862. a year
in which Southern opinion was
not a potent force in Congress.
Observation-Disclosures became
an independent nation in 1854,
but a series Of bloody wars with
the natives forced it to accept
military help from and politi-
cal annexation to Liberia.
Even with the addition of
Observation-Disclosures, Liberi a
was pitifully weak. The Ameri-
can Civil War and the eman-
cipation of the slaves dried the
stream of immigrants and no
more than $4,000 Americo-Li-
berians and 5000 slaves rescued
at sea were left to face hostile
natives and unfriendly colonial
powers. The republic was fiat
broke and ill-led.
Loans Aid Country
As a result, Britain and
France grabbed off, according
to Liberians, 40 per cent Of the
republics territory. Private
loans had to be floated to sup
port the country, and on sew
eral occasions Liberia came
close to being "foreclosed" by
its creditors.
Somehow It survived. The
lAmerico-Liberians built pillared
mansions, studied Latin and
/ Greek, established law firms,
wore top hats, and otherwise
emulated what they remem-
bered of the ante-bellum South.
There were other aspects OF
this life with which they or
their ancestors had had some
experience and now attempted
to bring back. A League OF Ma
tons commission disclosed that
top Americo-Liberian officials
were selling natives into the
near slavery of the Fernando
Pc Coca plantations.
! Re the result of the Leagues
irenort, Liberia nearly lost its
Iin6ouendence. 1t was suggest
ed that either the United States
or a European power should
! place the republic under its
protection.

TO enable the witnesses to an

There were no protests

Mr.. Morgan announced that
the answers given by Mr.. Nc
