BAN EXPORT OF ARMS TO JAPAN.
STIMSON'S PLEA.
Show America Is Not Afraid
To Discriminate.
EFFECT ON ARMY POLICY. United I'tma Association.-—Copyright. (Received 10 a.m.) NEW YORK, January 11. Mr. H. L. Stinison, Secretary of State in Mr. Hoover's Administration, urges th» passage of one of four bills at present before Congress to prohibit the export of arms, munitions, armament and raw materials to Japan. He charges that a comparatively t-mal! number of individual Americans have been aiding Japan's aggression for the pant three years.
Mr. Stlmson earlier suggested eSten* sion of the tnot'al embargo now effective, but believes that would be insufficient to impress Japan with the seriousness of United States opinion.
Mr. Stiitison added that such expression of United States disapproval would ultimately produce a reversal of Japanese Army policy, without which reversal the equilibrium of East Asia cannot be restored. This action would fortify the good effects of the rej>eal of the arms embargo, showing that Americans are not afraid to discriminate between right and wrong, alid Would identify the United States more firmly on the side of peace lovers.
He urgj-d against attempts to mediate or force peace on China.
