IRON AND STEEL SCRAP
EXPORTS FROM AMERICA PARTIAL BAN IMPOSED WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. (Received Sept. 27, at 8 p.m.) President Roosevelt has banned all exports of iron and steel scrap, except to the Western Hemisphere and Britain. The ban will become effective on October 15. Since July 26 the exports of heavy melting scrap have been subject to export licences, but now the system is applicable to all the 75 types of iron and steel scrap, of which only 13 varieties are exported. The President’s ban on iron and steel scrap is obviously aimed at Japan, which will be the importer most affected. It is known that the President and his advisers were considering action against Japan in accordance with British-American plans. JAPANESE COMMENT “WE MUST BE PATIENT” TOKIO, Sept. 27. (Received Sept. 28, at 1 a.m.) The Spokesman for the Foreign Office, Mr K. Suma, commenting on the United States embargo on scrap iron, said: “ Our views on these discriminatory actions are well known, but we must be patient until the last moment.” The newspaper Asahi states that a clash between Japan and America now seems inevitable.
