Suggested American Embargo
(Received 8.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON. June 11. In an interview with a representative of the United Press, the Secretary of State, Mr Cordell Hull, said the Government would use its moi’al influence to discourage sales of American aeroplanes capable of bombing areas where civilians are at present being bombed. Although Mr Hull did not mention Japan specifically, his remarks can only refer to Japan, as there is already an embargo on sales to Spain. Japan purchased nearly 2,000,000 dollars worth of American aeroplanes and motors in April. This action does not apply to China, because she does not bomb civilians.
