Black-lists will be maintained, containing hundreds of names of firms and individuals whose persistent dealings with the A xis have been harmful to the United Nations. It will also be necessary to continue to black-list firing who sold themselves out to the Axis to make temporary exorbitant profits. The United States Government hopes that all Governments and persons will co-operate in attaining the stated objectives. .
