Tightening the Embargo

Az II In answer to the KrsmllnS recent out-
pouring Of propaganda calling for O revival and

and ten like.minded nations have agreed upon
Q procedure designed to tighten up on restrictions

countries behind the Iron Curtain.
The restrictions have been In effect for many
months past Under them the Soviet Union and
its satellites have been denied large volume and
wide variety Of waE-potentlal items, including
atomic materials And important types Of tools.
But the embargo, besides involving sensible
measure Of heklblllty TO permit such trade In
instances where q complete cutoff would do
more harm than good has had O loophole In 10

exports and imports between our European
