 Washington, August 19. (UP) = The United States may couple it's stern protest to Japan with retaliatory measures which would have the effect of prohibiting Jap anese fro mleaving the coull- try without special pernlis- sion, authoritative sources said today
 High administration officials were considering a plan which would re- quire all foreign nationals to obtain exit permits before they could leave. The move would have the same ef- feet as Japan's action in prohibiting Americans and other aliens from leaving Japan without special per- mission.

 Ishii spoke vigorously and un- compromisingly.
 Get Same Treatment
 He said that if the United State did send ship for Americans, or for any other purpose, it would receive the same treatment which the United States accorded to the Tatuta Maru and other Japanese ships.
 (American importers took legal action to prevent the Tatuta Maru from returning to Japan from San Francisco with its rich cargo of silk and the cargo had to be un- loaded, thus becomin subject to the United States freezing regulations.)
 Spokesman 1shii took occasion to re-emphasize that Japan was grave ly concerned" over the question of American shipments to Vladivostok in aid of Russia. The United States, he said, should be more delicate" in its diplomatic relations with Ja- pan.
 GA steady deterioration in Jap nese-American relations was en- phasized by United Press dispatches from Shanghai.
