MR ROOSEVELT EXPLAINS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) WASHINGTON, July 26 President Roosevelt reiterated that the extension of the export licensing system, which is virtually an embargo, to petroleum, scrap iron and other scrap metal, was designed to conserve resources for national defence, especially of high quality aviation gasoline.

Lord Lothian, British Ambassador, called on Mr Sumner Welles and indicated his pleasure at the restrictions.
