HURLEY’S CHARGES
NO AMERICAN STATEMENT WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. Senator S. Bridges stated that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee had agreed not to issue a statement on General Hurley’s charges because the members did not want to act while the Secretary of State, Mr James Byrnes, was abroad. Senator Bridges indicated, however, that the issue might break out on the floor of the Senate at any'time. General Hurley, testifying before the American Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that the United Kingdom Commercial Corporation, which was a profit-making organisation owned by Britain, should not be allowed to sell lend-lease supplies in Persia and 17 other countries for the purpose of building a trade monopoly and excluding United States trade from those territories.
