AMERICAN MUNITIONS
SALE TO JAPAN FORBIDDEN ACTION BY THE BOARD WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. (Received Jan. 10, at 11.30 p.m.) The Muntions Board announced that since Julv 1 the United States has not permitted the sale to Japan of aeroplanes and aerial ammunition under a restriction forbidding export to those countries which bomb civilian populations. Japan nevertheless imported 9,000,000 dollars’ worth of aeroplanes from the United States during the first half of 1938. Mr Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, asked American makers to co-operate and prevent sale to Japan and Spain, and all but one company complied with his request. Munitions of all kinds are banned from Spain under the Neutrality Act.
