Philippines' Export Control Gesture

Special to the "Tolograph"

WASHINGTON, Mar. 25 (UP).—The spokesman for the Defence Commission told the "United Press" to-day that the Government is "highly appreciative" over the attitude of the Philippine Commonwealth towards export control, following Sr. Joaquin Elizalde's disclosure that President Quezon early in March offered to withhold shipments of strategic materials to Japan and Russin if the United States deemed such a measure advisable.

The statement followed re- ports that large Philippine shipments of copra were going

to Russia through Japan and

Shanghai. Most experts insist- ed that the copra shipments were designed eventually for German usc.

Senor Elizalde revealed that Pre- sident Quezon had indicated that the Philippines was willing to take any action necessary to prevent strategie materials from falling into potentially hostile hands, but he pointed out that Philippine foreign relations are under United States control.

The Defence spokesman said that the Philippine offer was "under con- sideration," but-he-declined-to-com- ment on what action is contemplated or when it might occur,

Senor Elizalde declared, "We are prepared to assist and co-operate to the fullest extent in any action the United States may deem necessary.".
