BOMBING PLANES
SALE HIT BY HULL
Condemnation Is Aimed at
U. S. Manufacturers as
Well as Powers.
~ the Associated Press. i.

Secretary Hull said today this Gov
ernments condemnation of the bomb
ing Of civilians was directed at Ameri-
can manufacturers of bombing planes
as well as foreign powers.
The Secretary predicted at his press
conference that State Department
pressure would discourage sales of such
planes for use against defenseless
civilians.
Noting several recent department
statements condemning the bombing
of civilians in Spain and China, Mr..
Hull said the Governments present at
titude was, of course, to maintain that
position and to say to everybody the
United States condemned both the
bombing and its material encourage
ment.
Prediction in Reply to Query.
The Secretary's prediction that
State Department condemnation would
discourage airplane sales to those who
use bombs indiscriminately was made
in reply to question on whether the
United States would frown on all fu-
ture sales of American planes that
could be used for bombing purposes
or whether manufacturers would be
encouraged to pick their customers"
The Secretary said his departments
attitude would be reiterated in the
future to the American people and to
the manufacturers as well as to for
eigp governments.
Recent department statements have
expressed this Governments emphatic
reprobation of civilian bombings, de-
scribing them as "barbarous."
A few days ago Mr.. Hull said in an
address at Nashville, Tenn, that all
nations should act jointly to humanize
warfare He declared the willingness
OF the United States to cooperate.
Japan, China Heavy Purchasers.
Although direct exports OF military
aircraft or other war material is en-
bargoed to Spain. both Japan and
China have been heavy purchasers Of
American planes.

export to Japan of 1884 sos of war
material, Of which $599, ,490 represented
orders for military planes and $528 800
purchases OF aircraft classed rs COM
mercial.
Licenses for export to China totaled
$523 ,298. of which $374,992 was for
