Edwin B. Parker, former chairman of the American Liquidation Commission, testified before the House committee defending the disposal of war supplies to France and Europe after the armistice. He said the policy was wise, citing net profits of about $823 million on sales, with France buying $562 million and US customs duties avoided, leaving the government with full value for goods.
