AMERICA’S MOMENTOUS ACTION
r pilE virtual embargo upon oil and scrap metal for Japan is a first step in the direction of the United States taking a more active role in the Orient. It is difficult to foresee what the outcome will be, seeing that the Chauvinists have only recently firmly established themselves in the saddle in Tokio, and they will not be in the mood immediately to be more accommodating. In view of the turn of Japanese politics the decision of President Roosevelt just prior to a Presidential election is a very strong one and points to the administration in Washington and to public opinion in America generally being even more strongly in favour of undertaking a fuller role in the larger drama which is being played out on the stage of the world to-day.
