He recalled that a simBar appeal by Mr. Hull to American plane crowned manufacturers had been with success.
Action such as he demanded now would diminish American exports of war materials to Japan by 50 to 70 per cent.
"When, at the start of the Sino- Japanese conflct, I presented a pro- Ject forbidding exports of scrap iron, I received many protests from quar- ters interested in the export of these Senator Schwellenbach materiais,' continued.
