WARNING IGNORED
TRADE WITH BELLIGERENTS
BIG INCREASE IN AMERICAN
EXPORTS
WASHINGTON, November 6.
Reports to the Commerce Department indicate that President Roosevelt's warning against trade ' with the belligerents in the war between Italy and Ethiopia is being completely ignored by exporters of essential materials.
The major part of the trade is from Gulf of Mexico ports,' New Orleans and other points reporting the greatest activity for several years. Petroleum and cotton are the principal exports. For example, shipments of petroleum to Italy in August and September increased by 600 per cent, over those for the corresponding months of 1931. The department indicated that nothing would be done in the matter except to compile reports and forward them to the State Department for consideration.
