Taft Rejects Proposal
Senator Taft (R-Ohio), one of
P
the Western Hemisphere except the British Empire,
Russia and China and was interpreted as another
smashing economic blow designed to block any Japa-
nese move against Singapore and the Dutch East
Indies.
Japan’s occupation of French Indo-China was
designated recently by Sumner Welles, acting secre-
tary of state, as a threat to American territory and
to sources of supply of vital raw materials in the
South Pacific.
China—to whom the United States is extending
all possible moral, economic and financial aid—has
long pleaded for an embargo on shipments of Ameri-
can oil used to fuel Japanese warplanes for the
bombing of Chinese cities and towns and the Burma
Road, lifeline for China’s war supplies.
Japan has been a large purchaser of other gaso-
line, oil and petroleum products, such American ex-
ports to her totalling $54,600,000 in 1940 and $45,-
285,000 in 1939.

MOSCOW, Aug. 2 (AP).—The Red army, fully mobilized
after six weeks of war, now is delivering consecutive counter-

Smolensk area, Soviet reports said today.

President’s Order
The president’s order directed Brigadier General
Russell L Maxwell, administrator of export control,
in the interest of national defense, to:
l.—Prohibit the export of motor fuels and
oils suitable for use in aircraft to any country
except the British Empire, Western Hemisphere
countries, and unoccupied territories in other
countries engaged in resisting aggression, which
■ was interpreted here to include Soviet Russia
and China.
2 .—Prohibit the export of certain raw stocks
from which aviation type fuel and lubricants
might be derived, except to the same American
and aggressor-resisting nations.
(That instruction was interpreted as em-
bargoing the export of some grades of gasoline
and oils which, while not of high octane rating
by American standards, have proved useable in
planes, sometimes with the addition of other in-
gredients.)
3 .—Place all other gasoline, oil and petrole-
um products under export license control on a
quota basis limiting issuance of licenses "to
usual or pre-war quantities."
Japan Not Mentioned
While the president’s order did not specifically
mention Japan it was so worded as to embargo ex-
ports of aviation oil and fuel to any country outside

By LLOYD LEHRBAS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (AP).—Japan faced a
showdown today in her program of expansion as
President Roosevelt acted to embargo aviation fuel
and drastically reduce other oil exports on which
Jpan depends for more than two-thirds of the gaso-
line and lubricants that she needs. ‘
Since Great Britain and the Dutch East Indies—
the only other available major sources4 — have im-
posed stringent export control and financial restric-
tions on oil and other military necessities, petroleum
authorities consider that Japan’s war machine and
industries must now run principally on’hoarded and
diminishing oil stocks. - 1
The United States struck another severe eco-
nomic blow at Japan when all silk stocks in this
country were frozen, presumably for defense produc-
tion, indicating that import control restrictions
would severely cut down U. S. silk imports which
have provided Japan with $100,000,000 cash or
credits annually.
The president had previously set the stage for
the drastic oil and silk orders by ordering the freez-
ing of all Japanese assets in American territory,
crippling Japan’s trade with one of its last and big-
gest cash customers. ' »
A week ago President Roosevelt had hinted that
an oil embargo might be imposed- a move which he
said had not been taken in the past because it would
tend to force Japan to go to the East Indies for a
new supply.
All moves were understood to have been taken
to impress Japan witmshe United States’ strong op-
position to armed expansion southward, threatening
bound to happen sometime: -

not acceptable to him. Supporting
Taft’s stand, Senators Wheeler '
(D-Mont.) and Vandenberg
(R-Mich.) said they were willing
to vote for an additional six
months service for selectees, but
no more.
Taft said he would seek a vote
Monday on his proposal to retain
selectees six extra mqnths and
guardsmen and reserves for an ad-
ditional year. He predicted it
would have wide support.
Under his plan, Taft said, re-
lease of selectees would not begin
until next April, when approxi-
mately 50,000 would be sent home
to be replaced by others.
With a debate limitation in ef-

to $43,279,000.
In 1938, with Japnese forces fighting up the
Yangtze river and in South China, Japan imported
$51,191,000 worth of American gasoline and oil.
