". $. REFUSAL OF
 STEEL HURTS LAPS

Tol;io, February 7.-Mr. Naskasho- ii, Minister of Agriculture and Com m cree, replying to the questions in Parliment as to the steel embargo said that the steel ban in America had adversely affected ship-building and other Japanese industries depending upon American steel. The minister added that Japan should obtain the steel from America if she granted the Am arican request to place her ton mage at the disposal of the United States Government. This, Mr. Ma kashoji said, he had refused for the sake of Japan's trade. He was op- timstic, however, and stated that, at no distant date Japan would be able to produce all the steel she required.
