BULLETIN.

TOXIC R.-An EXODUS of
American women and children,
in response to State Department
advice. gained momentum tonight
amid the growing conviction that
the zero hour in Japanese United
States relations is approaching.
BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 10.-The question
of withholding war supplies from
Japan and possibilities of American
British cooperation in the Pacific
Ocean are being discussed with the
United States, r. A. Butler, Under
secretary of Foreign Affairs, told the
House of Commons today.
Mr.. Butler avoided giving direct re-
plies to numerous questions concern
ing the United States and japan
in an exchange with Col. Josiah C
Wedgwood, who asked
What progress had been MADE
in regard to British-American CO.
operation in the Pacific;
Whether the Russian, Chinese
and Netherlands governments were
cooperating or being consulted;
Whether there was possibility of
American protection for the Neither
land Indies.
Conversations Continuing.
THE questioner may rest assured
that the importance of contact with
friendly governments on matters of
common interest is fully appreciated
by his maiesty's government" MI
Butler replied.
rs that consultation taking place
at the present time in connection
with the Pacific" Wedgwood pur-
sued
Mr.. Butler replied that certain
conversations have taken place
which are of considerable i'm
portance"
Are they concluded or continu-
ing Wedgwood pressed.
IT would not say they are con-
Guided" Butler answered.
Inquiry on Oil Exports.
Godfrey L. Mander, Liberal, asked
whether in view of reports that the
United States recently had approved
the export of oil up to 1000 900 tons
to Japan. Mr.. Butler would consider
making representations to the United
States for concurrent British-Amer-
lean action to prevent further supply
Of oil to Japan.
His Majestys government under
stand that the prohibition placed by
the United States Government on
the export of oil relates only to GER
tain grades" Mr.. Butler said. They
(the British government are and
have been in touch with the United
States on the matter"
