Arms Export Report Cut
To Guard Defense Data

The State Department today aban-
doned its policy of publishing sta
stistics on shipments of American
arms by individual countries, re-
porting instead only the total value
of export licenses issued during June
and actual exports for that month.
The listing of shipments to indi-
vidual countries was abandoned. the
department explained, in order that
military information of interest to
the national defense may not be
improperly disseminated"
The report made public today
showed that $48, 8,796,8l5 worth of
combat airplanes and other war
equipment was exported to all coun-
tries during the month of June,
bringing the value of arms ship
ments during the first six months of
this year to S312,331 ,156. Licenses
authorizing export of arms valued
at $190,045, $50 were issued during
June, bringing the six months total
to 1866 ,663, ,037.
For many months most of the
military equipment shipped from
this country has gone to the Brit
1sh Empire. Since February, the
departments monthly report of
arms exports has Jumped together
all shipments to various British ter
ritories under the designation of
British Commonwealth of Nations.
Before the February report, ship
ments to England, Canada, Aus
traia and other parts of the Brit
lsh Empire we're listed separately.
