POSITIVE POLICY
ACTION AGAINST JAPAN URGED BY MR H. L. STIMSON. PROHIBITION OF EXPORTS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright, (Received This Day 10.10 a.m.) NEW YORK. January 11. The ex-Secretary of State, Mr H. L. Stimson, urges the passage of one of four Bills at present before Congress, to prohibit the export of arms, munitions, and armaments and raw materials to Japan. He alleges that a comparatively small number of individual Americans have been aiding Japan’s aggression for three years. Mr Stimson earlier suggested an extension of the moral embargo which is now effective, but believes that it is insufficient to impress Japan with the seriousness of the United States’ opinion. He added that such an expression of the United States’ disapproval would ultimately produce a reversal of the Japanese Army policy, without the reversal of equilibrium in East Asia could not be restored, and would fortify the good effects of the embargo repeal, showing that Americans are not afraid to discriminate between right and wrong. It would also identify the United States more firmly on the side of peace lovers. Mr Stimson urged against attempts to mediate and force peace on China.
