AMERICAN VIEWS.

Ambassador And Illogical Embargo Measures.

LABOUR LEADERS APPEAL.

(Received 2 p.m.) WASHINGTON, August 28.

Among a wide variety of interesting American developments having a bearing on the international situation were the following:—The American Ambassador to Germany, Mr. Hugh Wilson, expressed opposition to any American embargo on shipment of foodstuffs and raw materials to belligerent nations. He also declared that it was illogical to place an embargo on arms and yet ship materials that could be used for arms and munitions manufacture.

Mi". William Green, president of the American Federation of Labour, .appealed to German workers to refuse to support war preparations and the war drive which the Nazi leaders were making. "We abhor war and protest against it. We insist and demand that the differences between nations be settled peacefully by conference and consultation. I supplement the appeal made by the representatives of British workers to German working men and women to join us in protesting against war and opposing the threat of war."
