hour previously.

ration of war has advocated greater

of Britain's situation.
"If Britain falls, we here In

have to turn ourselves and our
land into an armed camp,
though before that time comes
I don't believe any one here will
be alive"
He said that should the Battle
of Britain result in a victory for
the Axis powers. Germany and ia
pan would have control of the oil

needs at the present time.

CURB ON ESSENTIALS

The move Is designed TO prevent
the shipment of chrome, manga
nese, hemp and cocoanut oil from
the Philippines to Germany by
way of Russia and TO curb the
shipment of those important war
materials to Japan and the Soviet
Union.
Considerable quantities of hemp
and cocoanut oil are being shipped
direct from the Philippines 10
Vladivostok and the American
government is convinced most of
the shipments are going through
TO Germany.
Manila hemp is used extensively
by navies while il is believed the
cocoanut oils are being used TO
relieve Germany's shortage of
fats.
Japan also has been obtaining a
considerable quantity Of chrome
and hemp from the Philippines.
Once the export control system
is applied to the Philippines the
American government will exor-
else strict control over all i'm
portant exports from those islands.
LICENSE CONTROL
No licenses will be granted for
the expectation of any potential
war supplies which this govern
ment has reason to believe might
be intended for Germany.
Licenses for the expectation Of
those supplies 10 Russia and Japan
for their own use will be granted
strictly on a horse-trading basis.
If the Soviets and Japan are pre-
pared 10 grant the United States
economic or political favors from
time to time, this government Will
grant licenses for the expectation
of limited quantities of the sup
plies they may want from the
Philippines.
Great Britain for sometime has
been eager to have the United
States plug the Philippines leak in
the economic blockade of the AXIS
powers. This governments deci-
sion TO do so was made by the
state department in collaboration
with the war department.

The roundup of the Italians,

as is customary. federal officers
indicated they probably will be
interned in this country.
The raids were made simulta-
neously by immigration men, police
and detectives on a score of places
frequented by socialites, where the

walters. Included among the places
raided were the Carlton.
