Mr. Lammott also said that he and Senator Townsend, in 1932, visited the Assistant Secretary of State, Mr. Rogers, prior to the sale of a patented hydrogen process to the Mitsui Com. pany, in Japan and China.

The Company was then engaged on what was described as war-like activities, but the corporation was given to understand that the process was not primarily for military purposes.

MR. LAMMOTT ADDED THAT THE CORPORATION HAD PAID "COMMISSIONS" TO HIGH CHINESE OFFICIALS, BUT THIS WAS VERY UNUSUAL AND NOT ACCORDING TO THE CORPORATION'S POLICY.
