Dupont occused of surrender' in face of Arab boycott demand WILMINGTON, Del., (JTA) - The American Jewish Congress accused the DuPont Co. Monday of “surrender” to Arab boycott demands and rejection of the same anti-boycott principles that its chairman, Irving S. Shapiro, had supported in his capacity as chairman of the Business Roundtable. The charge was made at DuPont’s annual meeting here by Will Maslow, general counsel of the AJCongress. He referred to a resolution submitted by four DuPont stockholders who are AJCongress members question ing the firm’s compliance with Arab boycott demands. The DuPont Board of Directors urg ed its stockholders to reject the resolution in a letter circulated along with the notice of the an nual meeting. Maslow noted that the Business Roundtable, consisting of some 150 top American business executives throughout the country, wrote to President Carter on March 3 enclosing a "Joint Statement of Principles re Foreign Boycott Legislation” signed by Shapiro and Burton M. Joseph, national chairman of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. Says Prohibitions Ignored In Practice The statement included “a series of recommendations for anti-boycott legislation, in cluding a prohibition of negative blacklisting and similar ex clusionary certificates” which the DuPont chairman urged the Senate and House to enact into law, Maslow said. “Yet these very prohibitions .. . are ignored by DuPont in its business practices and rejected by DuPont’s management,” Maslow asserted. He cited as evidence of DuPont’s “surrender” to the Arab boycott a letter the company sent to the Securities and Exchange Com mission Jan. 21, 1977, admitting that it furnished Arab customers with certificates j attesting to the non-Israeli origin of goods and “statements concerning the non-existence of certain commercial relations with Israel at the time of cer tification.” Maslow also quoted a letter of Jan. 16, 1976, that he received from DuPont acknowledging that "certain purchasers of DuPont products who are located in Arab countries have stipulated as conditions of purchase that the goods not con tain Israeli raw materials and that the goods not be shipped in Israeli vessels or other blacklisted vessels ....” Maslow said the letter also admitted that DuPont had indicated to purchasers that it did not have a branch in Israel and that par ticular goods sold to an Arab purchaser did not contain Israeli raw materials.
