I have checked Mac Lane's 1950 paper and I cannot find any such result. The converse, that a category in which finite sums are equivalent to products then the category takes homs in commutative monoids is sort of there, but the one I asked is not, or at least I didn't find it. However, CWM is a likely source and I will check that out. I just need some reference in any case. Michael
