WASHINGTON, SEPT. 26, (UP), THE UNITED STATES HAS PLACED AN EMBARGO ON SHIPMENTS OF IRON AND STEEL SCRAP, AND IMPORTANT WAR MATERIALS TO ALL COUNTRIES INCLUDING JAPAN OUTSIDE THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GREAT BRITAIN. THE EM- BARGO BECOMES EFFECTIVE ON OCTOBER 16.

Of the large number of nations affected Japan alone has been a consistent heavy purchaser, Italy's recent heavy trade having been cut off by the British blockade. AIMED AT JAPAN

President Roosevelt's announcement of the embargo stressed that the measure is intended to conserve the United States supplies of scrap, but Mr. Stephen Early, White House Secretary, to-day revealed that the President has been preoccupied with the Far Eastern crisis due to Japan's action în Indo-China and the dispute regarding control in Shanghai,

"The President ́ has been virtually continuously in consulta, tion, mainly by telephone, with Mr. Cordell Hull on the Far Eastern situation." Mr. Early said.

PETROLEUM MAY BE NEXT

He added that he had no information regarding the reports that the embargo might soon be proclaimed on all grades of petroleum.

The White House announcement avoided any reference whatsoever to the situation in the Orient.

Japan purchased approximate. ly one third of America's exports Luf iron and steel scrap during the first seven months of 1940, according to Department of Commerce figures.
