j. s. GUARDS STEPS
TO HELP END WAR
Sanctions Against Japan
Would Pose Delicate
Problem.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The lengths to which the United
States may be prepared to go in its
effort to end hostilities in the Orient
remained secret today.
State Department officials pre-
served silence regarding suggestions
that the Nine Power Conference at
Brussels may be asked to consider
direct or indirect economic sanctions,
or penalties, against Japan at its next
meeting on November %.
Because Of this Governments statu-
tory policy Of neutrality in foreign
hostilities, any such move by the
conference would pose an extremely
delicate problem for the United States.
Unofficial speculation here centered
on two possible steps by the confer
ence should it attempt to deal il
actual punitive measures:
l. The outlining of program
and an attempt by the conference to
execute it.
2. Recommendation of a course OF
action to the League Of Nations, leav-
ing to that body the responsibility for
executing it.
Informed observers said the latter
was moro likely to be favored by thi:
Government.
This prediction was based on the
view attributed to both President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull. tha
peace in Asia is the concern of the
whole world and not alone of tn.
powers with the greatest interest!
there.
Whichever attitude prevails. how.
ever, the United States will be con.
fronted with a momentous decision
on foreign policy.
