UNDIANATION

should be given to the extent to which our government's anti-trust
actions against certain companies are jeopardizing United States
investments throughout the areao Official public allegations by the
United States Government that United States companies are engaging in
unfair trade practices and are exploiting the people not only coincide
with communist and nationalist doctrine already referred to and increase
the risk of expropriations but leaves with foreign peoples (who do not
distinguish between official allegations and facts) the impression
that their continued functioning is not a matter of concern to us (e.g.
Venezuelan Government officials have informally expressed the view
that as a result of the publicity concerning alleged cartel practices
on the part of United States oil companies the Venezuelan Government
will be obliged by the opinion of its public to undertake parallel
action against companies operating in Venezuela). If, for example,
the Venezuelan Government should decide to nationalize the strategic
oil industry there (and the majority of the Venezuelan people favor
such action) there is no reason to suppose that the United States iron
ore industrys also of strategic importance to uss would not suffer the
same fate. And should Venezuela nationalize, the temptation for other
countries to follow suit might be considerable. It is therefore urgent
that a way be found to reconcile our national interest in preventing
unfair trade practices by American companies and our national interest
in protecting our foreign investments against unfair acts on the part of
foreign governments.
