Clamps
Embargo
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
Intl News Service star Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.-The
American governments policy of
attempting to appease Japan by
permitting liberal oil shipments
to the Nippon empire was in the
scrap head today.
1t was tossed there by an order
issued by President Roosevelt
placing an embargo on shipments
of aviation gasoline and refined oil
to all nations except those in the
Western Hemisphere, the British
Empire land the unoccupied terri
tories OF other countries engaged
in resisting aggression"
No direct mention was made in
the announcement of the nations
it would affect.
BLOW TO JAPAN
However. it was pointed out
that Japan is the largest nation
hit by the order, although the re-
Istrictions will apply also to Spain
and Portugal.
That policy was abandoned as
a result of Japan's military move
into French Indo-China and its
threatened occupation of T'hailand
steps regarded as final prepara-
tory moves for an attack on
singapore or the Dutch East
Indies.
No longer will American oil be
used to fuel Japanese planes sent
to bomb the supplies this country
sends to China. This seemingly
incongruouS policy of aiding Japan
to bomb a nation this country was
assisting had been based on the
hope it would restrain the japanese
from moving into the southern
Pacific.
Japan has long contended that
If its oil supplies from the United
States were cut off, it would have

WASHINGTON. Aug. DE
Tense officials moved swiftly today
to conserve the nations silk sup
Iply for the army and navy through
an order directing mills to halt all
silk goods manufacture for civilian
use by midnight tonight.
The order was issued by Prior
titles Director E. r. Stettinius Jr.
after army and navy officials in
formed the office of production
management that their needs for
the next two years would absorb
the entire silk stock in this
country.
The move was expected to cause
the immediate shutdown of vir-
tually every silk mill in the United
States and to throw most of the
lindustry's 175,000. workers out Of
jobs.
NEEDED FOR CHUTES
A few factories which have a
limited supply OF SemiproceSsed
silk thread will continue opera
tons for short time.
OPM officials pointed out that
there are numerous usages for silk
in the defense program. the princi-
pal one being for the manufacture
of parachutes.
Freezing" of silk reserve stocks
was effected by an amendment to
the general order issued a week
ago which prohibited movement of
raw silk to mills. The amend
