Washington, October 27. — Re
gardless of the announced pur
poses for which the President has
called the Congress to convene in
an extraordinary session on No
vember 15, it seems certain that
the international situation creat
ed by the Administration's out
spoken attitude toward Japan,
and American participation in the
Nine-Power Conference in Brus
sels on October 30, will hold the
attention of the Senate to the ex
clusion, for a while at least, of
the specific legislation which the
President has asked.
While there has been no open
opposition in Congress to Secre
tary Hull's activities, there has
been a strong feeling among a
large group of Senators that any
sort of International cooperation
by the United States held the
seeds of possible entangling alli
ances." This isolationist feeling re
sulted to the Neutrality Law,
which the Administration did not
want, at least in any such form
as it was enacted, and which Mr.
Roosevelt ignored completely when
he took the steps which have led
America, for the first time since
the Peace Conference at Versailes
nineteen years ago, into an inter
national conference in which a
war and its possible consequences
are the subject of discussion. This
is not at all to the liking of many
Senators, who feel that it may be
a first step toward bringing this
country into European quarrels,
if not into membership in the
League of Nations. They are ex
pected to voice their protests loud-

Davis Beady to Trade
But Ambassador Norman H.
Davis, who has been named as the
United States representative at
the Nine-Power Conference, will
have some trading material in his
luggage, which may used ef
fectively to further the program
of Secretary Hull and the Admin
istration, and result in improved
foreign trade conditions for this
country. And that is the prize
which Mr. Roosevelt hopes to grab
off by American participation in
the Brussels conference.
There is no desire or intention
on the part of the Administration
either to put an embargo on trade
with Japan, or to do anything
which would involve the nation
to an armed conflict. Even if there
were a situation called for armed
intervention in China, this coun
try could not undertake it with
out, the cooperation of Great Brit
ain, and the British navy is busy
at home, keeping guard on its
country's Mediterranean route to
the Far East. But if the other
members to the Nine-Power Con
ference choose to adopt Mr.
Roosevelt's suggestion of a "quar
antine" against aggressors v
meaning Japan in this case—Am
bassador Davis has authority to
agree on behalf of the United
States. And a unanimous agree
ment by the nine powers to iso
late Japan from all foreign trade
intercourse would, it is believed
here, speedily end her aggres
sions in China.
Why Japs Would Quit
For Japan is not in financial
condition to carry out her plans
for the conquest of China if her
foreign trade is cut off. It might
hurt American trade for a short
time, since Japan is our largest
customer for cotton; but cotton
is being supported chiefly by the
Government now, and further sup
jport would add little to the pres

ent distress. A Japanese econoriiic;
quarantine would shut off prac
tically all of this country's sup
ply of silk, which would result in
a boom in the rayon market. But
lacking her supplies of cotton,
oil and metals she has to
import, and the cash from her
sales of silk in which to pay the
cost of maintaining an army in
China, Japan would, officials here
believe, throw up her hands and
cry quit, on any fair terms the
other nations laid down.
It is quite definitely believed
here that no international con
sideration of the Japan-China sit
uation would have been possible
if the United States, as one of
the signatory nations to the Nine-
Power Treaty, had not been will
ing to participate in the Brussels
conference. Realizing this, the
State Department began some
months ago to bargain with Eu
ropean nations, especially Great
Britain, as to the price of our
participation. If they really want
ed us to help settle the Japanese
mess, coming at a time when they
were busy trying to keep Europe
from breaking out in a new
World War, what would they pay
us for our help?
Will America Play Ball?
What did we want? they asked.
The answer, conveyed quietly to
the British Foreign Office last
Summer by the Under Secretary
of State, Sumner Welles, was that
we wanted a trade agreement with
Great Britain and her colonies
and dependencies, so far as they
are controlled by the Crown,
which would bring reductions in
world tariffs and remove trade
barriers which now give the Brit
ish too great an advantage in
world markets.
Ambassador Davis' trade goods
are believed to include an agree
ment, in principle, for new recip
rocal tariffs with Great Britain,
to which the British are ready to
agree, also in principle, as a part
of the price of American partici
pation in the Brussel's Confer
ence.
Germany and Italy are mem
bers of the conference. They have
both hinted that they might be
persuaded to abandon their iso
lationist policies and play ball
with the rest of the world if they
could borrow some money, some
where. It will be part of Norman
Davis' job at Brussels to tell them
that under the Johnson Act they
can't borrow any more from the
United States, but that maybe
that law can be repealed. For in
siders who claim to know what is
going on in the minds of high
officialdom in Washington say
that there is hatching a plan to
bribe not only Germany and Italy
but also Japan by making loans
from America's enormous gold re
serve, in return for trade agree
ments beneficial to this country
and promises to quit threatening
war and scaring everybody half to
death.
Some of all this is going to come
out on the floor of Congress and
it may start such a hot debate as
to overshadow the farm bill, the
labor bill and the rest of the
President's program.
