COMPLETE EMBARGO
AMERICA & WAR MATERIALS j i WASHINGTON, January 23. 1 Senator Key Pittman, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, introduced a resolution which will require the President not only to place an embargo on the shipments of arms, munitions, and implements of war from the United States to warring nations, but also any other articles and materials the President deems necessary. * 1 This raises a subject Congress has i long been dreading, since cotton, cop- i per, oil, steel, automobiles, and grains, ] or nearly everything the nation pro- I duces in any quantity, might be deemed materials of war. t Senator Pittman said the resolution t was intended to replace the one which t expires on May 1. He said it embodied his own ideas, but they had t been discussed frequently. The State Department intends to send the resolution to the President's Department immediately for study.
