drastic move to cut off an import
ant source Of potential war sup
plies for the Axis powers. the
United States Government, it was
learned today, intends TO extend
the export licensing control sys-
TEN TO the Philippine Islands.
Congress will be asked within
the next few days TO enact special
legislation authorizing President
Roosevelt to apply the export CON
troll system TO those Pacific islands.
The legislation will be requested
by the War Department as ma
tional defense measure. It will
probably be in the form of an
amendment to the Export Control
Act.
The move is designed TO prevent
the shipment Of chrome, manga
nese. hemp and cocoanut oil from
the Philippines to Germany via
Russia and to curb the shipment
OF those important war materials
TO Japan and the Soviet Union.
Considerable quantities Of hemp
and cocoanut Gil are being ship
