IGNORE THREAT
TO BOYCOTT
u. GOODS
Oil Held Vital Factor
In Enforcement Of
Sanctions
International Nerp servIce

This Government Is prepared to
sacrifice Americas $50, 900, 600
export trade with Italy in the
cause of American neutrality.
The view prevails In high Of
ficial quarters that American
traders, especially the oil industry,
should ignore Rome's threat to
cut off Americas export trade If
Italy is unable to purchase oil
here for its war machinery.
If Italy should boycott Ameri'
can goods because Of this Govern
ment's neutrality stand, 1t Is felt
such action would open new mar
ketS in the nations imposing sane
tions against Italy, and that these
new markets would more than
compensate American trade for
whatever losses it sustained in
Italy.
Examples Are Cited
The increased sale Of American
oranges, lemons and grapes to
Great Britain were cited as evi-
dence that American trade might
find a new and lucrative market
If italy cut off American exports.
Great Britain formerly purchased
large quantities Of these products
from Italy. Under the League
sanctions program, it has stopped
those purchases.
Sale of other goods which Italy
hitherto has sold to France, Spain
and other League powers also was
foreseen.
However, the willingness Of Bri-
tain and the League powers to
hand over the italian markets i'm
medistely to the United States was
admittedly q hope on the part Of
officials, rather than certainty.
Nevertheless, it was pointed out
the issue involved was not only
the question Of American trade
with Italy but the broader QueS-
ton Of American neutrality.
Oil a Vital Factor
Furthermore, information has
reached this Government which
leads to the belief that oil may
prove the vital factor in the move
to check italian conquest by
economic pressure.
Rome adviceS that the price
Of gasoline has been increased to
$1.15 and $1.25 per gallon has led
to the belief that Italy'S oil sup
ply is far from ample for its
military camnairn
If Italy's oil supply ran out, it
Is felt Premier MusSolini would
be forced to halt his African cam
paign.
With oil occupying this import
ant role in the League sanctions
move, officials here feel Great
Britain and the other League
powers would be quick to accuse
the United States Of interfering
with the effectiveness Of the
Leagues peace efforts II it Se3.
mitted Italy to purchase its vital
oil needs here.

u. 5. TO TRADE
WITH JAPAN
ON NAVIES
New Fortifications in
Pacific May Force
Issue
international News Service


Uncle Sam Is going to do a little
horse-trading at the London naval
conference in the cause Of the tax
payer.
In an effort to prevent Japan
from precipitating an increase in
existing world naval strength, the
American delegation to the con-
ference intends to cite the need
for fortification and development
of American naval bases at Guam
and the Samoan Islands as well
as development Of naval seaplane
stations at Midway, Wake and
other American Pacific islands.
II Japan agrees to abide by ex-
isting relative naval strengths, the
American delegation may find
that the United States can forego
any extensive development Of its
naval defense position in the Paci.
fic.
"RatiO System"
II Japan insists upon building
above existing levels and thus pre-
cipitateS the necessity for In
creased building by this country
and Great Britain, the American
delegation will press the Nays
desire for more bases.
Furthermore, If Japan adopts
q conciliatory attitude, the Amer.
ican delegation will be prepared
to abandon the "ratio system" as
the basis for naval limitation and
adopt any other formula that will
provide for limitation without
seriously disturbing the existing
relative strengths Of the worlds
navieS.
japan has been adamantly op-
posed to the ratio system on the
ground that it implies Anglo
American moral superiority over
the Nippon empire.
This Government Is not adverse
to adopting some other formula
which will enable Japan to save
its face at home, providing the
new formula Is based on equality
Of security.
These American plans were
learned today following announce
ment by President Roosevelt that
Americas position at the confer.
ence would be to oppose any
marked increase in world naval
strength.
Role Of Phillips
Inclusion Of Undersecretary Of
State william Phillips In the
American delegation was seen here
today as strengthening the navy'S
position at the conference.
Phillips is known to be a strong
Navy man. He Is the State De-
partment'S contact man with the
Navy, and confers with naval Of
ficials every week. Furthermore,
he was Assistant Secretary Of
State when President Roosevelt
was Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy and it was the close per-
sonal friendship developed then
which led to him being chosen for
his present post of UnderSecretary
Of State.
Although Ambassador Norman
H Davis will be chairman of the
delegation, Phillips will pass on
every move. Admiral William H.
Standley, chief Of naval opera
tionS, will be Americas chief naval
delegate.

CHINESE MOVE

took a hurried airplane trip to
Nanking to confer on the new
crisis.
Akira AriyosnI. japanese am
baSSador to China, rushed also to
Nanking, seeking to confer with
GeneralisSimo Chang Kai-Shek,
dictatorial leader who yesterday
indicated he was amenable to set
ting up the new regime.
The Japanese armies maSSed
just north of the great wall at
Shanhai-Kuan meanwhile were
not moved. Yesterdays threat to
march them into north China
was turned into declaration that
they would push southwark if
Chinese armies should march
northward.
Colonel Takahashi, commander
Of the Japanese garrison at Peip-
ing, stressed that detection of the
two governors probably only
would be temporary, and stated
the five-State movement had gone
too far to fail now.
Foreign observers pointed out
that the ultimatum issued yester-
day was based on the presumption
all five governors would align
themselves with the Japanese
move, and threatened use of the
japanese army against other
Chinese elements who might op.
pose establishment of the autono-
nous federation.
Today, however, with the two
governors at least temporarily op-
posing the move, japanese lead
ers were confronted with Situa-
ton more serious than they had
bargained for.
