SUGGESTION IN U.S.A.
OSTRACISE JAPAN
REPLY TO ACTION IN CHINA
WASHINGTON, January 3.
Senator Pittman, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, proposed today that the United States "ostracise" Japan if she continues her actions against which the State Department has protested.
"I could not conceive any declara-
moral sanctions the United States of America might impose in the interests of international justice," he said. "The Japanese are too intelligent to declare war, first of all, because such a declaration would be absurd, as they know and we know that they do not intend to cross the Pacific to attack us. Such a declaration would do them no good and would do us no harm."
