Foreign Policy
Of u. S. Keeps
Japan Guessing
Clamp on Aviation Gas
And Scrap Iron Noted
With Concern

WASHINGTON, July 27.
(UP)-United States foreign
policy, particularly in the
Far East. followed a battling
course today that kept Japan
guessing as to whether she will get
the American aviation gasoline,
tetraethyl lead and iron and steel
scrap she needs to keep her war
in China going.
Japanese circles here were more
perturbed over President Roosevelt's
order placing those products under
export license control, when they
learned that the government had
permitted Russian firm to charter
an American oil tanker for trans
Pacific voyage.
Mr.. Roosevelt insisted that the
licensing control was not an en-
barge and that it was designed
principally to conserve total re-
sources for American defense.
He reiterated that contention last
night in a proclamation and order
specifying the materials which will
be affected when the control be-
comes effective on Aug.
The proclamation specified that
the licenses would have to be OBJ
tained to export high octane gaso-
lines of various descriptions, avia-
ton lubricating oil, tetraethyl lead,
(used in manufacturing anti-knock
gasoline) and No. l heavy melting
iron and steel scrap.

dent Roosevelt and Vice President
Garner In the Illinois presidential
preference primary was removed to-
day.
The State Certifying Board de-
cided to place Mr.. Roosevelt's name
on the April primary ballot. The
members ruled that petitions filed
by Chicago Democratic leaders to
enter the Chief Executive in the
contest were valid although they
were not accompanied by q signed
statement Of candidacy.
The board cited 1881 opinion
by Oscar Carlstrom, Republican,
then serving as State attorney gen.
eral, who held that presidential
petitions did not require a signed
certificate.
The members declined to hear
oral arguments by Charles E. Mason,
Republican States attorney of Lake
County, and George s. LAWN, can
didate for the Republican nomin-
alton for Congress-at-large. Both
had filed written objections to GER
tifying the Presidents name. Mr..
Mason, who has threatened to keep
the Presidents name OF the bal
lot in his county, said he doubted
an appeal could be taken to the
courts.
