A OBSCURED

TOKYO, Jan. 27. Saturday -
R-Continuing excitement over
the British seizure of Fl German
seamen from a Japanese liner OBJ
scured today the dying hours OF
the 1911 Acknowledgements trade
treaty.
Some sources said they believed
the sentiment against the British
was being stirred deliberately / n
order to divert japanese attention
from the expiration Of the pact.
While the lapse of the agreement
frees the United States to put
pressure On Japan in behalf OF
American interests in China, re-
liable information indicated tina
vital industries had a backlog OF
materials necessary to maintain
normal production for at least a
year.
Gwen if the worst comes to
worst" one economic authority
said, Japan cannot be crippled"
Nevertheless, Japanese will de-
vote close attention to debates IN
the United States senate on varl-
Gus proposals to impose an m
barge on exports to Japan.

IDEA GAINS P

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-R-
The idea of giving the state depart
ment discretionary authority to re
strict or ban trade with Japan, now
that the Japanese-American COM
merciaI treaty is dead, gained sup
port tonight in some senate quar-
tiers.
Senator Hatch (D-NM) said ne
thought such a step was advlsable'
One member of the senate foreign
relations committee, who requested
that he remain unidentified, also
endorsed it. This senator pointed
out that it would give the state
department a powerful weapon
which it could bring into use at
any moment if developments In
:Jananese.American relations neces'
state.
The hour Of the treaty's explra-
ton was midnight tonight, EST,
according to official calculations
here, although Tokyo considered
that the pact died at 10 a. m
Thursday, No ceremony marked Its
end here; no official proclamation
was issued; no instructions given
Ito government departments.
Notice of abrogation of the 20
|year-old treaty was given slS
months g as a means OF bring
ing pressure on Japan to respect
American rights in China. That
was the only official pronounce
ment.
