NO HURRY TO ENACT EMBARGO
America To Study
Matter Closely
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (UF),— Demands for restrictive measures against Japan by House and Senate members are increasing, but the Icaders indicate there is no hurry to enact an embargo,
Senator Sherman Minton stated that there was no motion to change the plan to study the matter closely from all possible angles. Commodity interests such as cotton have not been determined in the present de- mand for hasty action, although some southerners favour partial restriction of war material shipments.
"We cannot continue to disregardi the fact that China and Japan are at war." sald Senator
Allen "AS much Ellender.
I sympathise with the Chinese people, as neutrals we cannot discriminate between belligerents." Representative Fred Crawford said) he would speak on the floor of the House on behalf of cotton interests.
