Statement Follows Senate
Agitation for Embargo
Legislation
Washington, July 26. ? The
United States served notice to
night that it was terminating its
1911 treaty of commerce and
navigation with Japan, opening
the way toward an embargo on the
shipment of raw materials to that>
country.
On behalf of Secretary of State
Hull, Francis B. Sayre, Assistant
Secretary of State, handed a note
to an official of the Japanese em
bassy informing him of tihe step.
The government's action came
like a lighting bolt from a blue
sky, since the Senate foreign rela
tions committee discussing a reso
lution calling for the denunciation
of the treaty postpone^ discussion
on it) today until later in the week.
Barlier today Secretary Hull
conferred with President Roose
velt, following talks with his Par
Eastern advisers. The President
approved, perhaps ordered, the ac
tion.
Six months must pass from to
day before the abrogation can go
iuto effect. They will be up Jan
uary 26, 1940, at which time Con
gress will be in session and can
discuss an embargo on raw ma
terials shipments to Japan.
Legal Obstacle
The State Department regarded
the 1911 treaty as a legal obstacle
in the way of a resolution by Sen
ator Plttman (D.. Nev.) calling for
the. embargo. Article 5. Paragraph
Three, of the pact, said: "Nor
shall any prohibition be enforced
by either country on the importa
tion or exportation of any article
from or to the territories of the
other which shall not equally ex
tend to the like article imported
from or exported to any other
country."
Consequently, if the Uni^d
States wanted to embargo ffti^1'
ments to Japan, she would have to
do so with regard to all other na
tions as well as long as the treaty
remained in force.
Senator Vandeuberg (H-Mlch)
introduced a resolution some days
ago calling for the abrogation of
the 1911 treaty with a view to
possible negotiation of a tiew one
affording better protection to
American rights in China,
Asked by the Senate foreign re
lations committee for an opinion
on both resolutions, Secretary
Hull last Friday deferred giving
it. but wrote the committee with
reference to the Vandenberg reso
lution that the State Department
would be glad to consider it If It
were approved.
Was Surprise
The abrogation caught the cap
ital by surprise. At 9:30 p. m.,
the State Department telephoned
to newspaper correspondents and
asked them to come to the depart
ment for a news release. At 10
o'clock an official handed them
the text of the release.
It said thati the treaty "contains
provisions ijrhlch need new con
sideration." It added that the
United States was signifying lta
desire to terminate the pact "with
a view to better safeguarding and
promoting American interests as
new developments may require."
Earlier In tihe day, Senator Pitt
man had said, "I haven't the
slightest idea whether action will
be taken on the resolution In this
session."
He said also, however, that
"anypne who reads the newspapers
must have come to the conclusion
tihat there is a definite change In
the Far Eastern situation."
Hull act*d tonight following
several statements thl* week by
him regarding Japan. On Monday
he expressed this government's
concern over the Increasing num
ber of American - Japanese Inci
dents In China.
Monday and yesterday he com
mented on the agreement reached
Monday at Tokyo by Britain and
Japan whereby Britain recognised
Japan's "special requirements" In
Chjna and gave newspapermen
clearly to understand that the
United States policy in China
would not be changed by this
agreement.
Yesterday came an official noti
fication from the Japanese that
>the Pearl River at Oanton would
be closed for two weeks.
On Monday an American naval
warrant officer, Robert A. Baker,
I was assaulted at Hankow by a
| Japanese naval sentry and arrest
ed. American naval authorlt'ies
made ?i Vigorous protest and pro-;
cured his release.
Slapping Incident
Today came a dispatch recount
i ing the slapping by Japanese of
; two more Americans at Peiping ?

iment training in the State this
summer, under the excellent com
mand of Gapt. Chas. P. Green and
Lieuts. P. W. Wheless, Jr., J. A.
Wheless and E. C. Bulluck, com
pleted its two and a half day firing
schedule in two daya on Tuesday.
After getting in practice with
around 240 rofinds of sub-calibre
ammunition, the men unlimbered
the 155-MM howitzers on Tuesday
by 5 p. m. and had hurled ninety
five 96-pound projectiles with
high explosive or shrapnel from
positions to targets more than
four miles dist<ant.
The officers have been doing ex
cellent in preparing data for firing
their problems and the men at
the guns have been doing likewise
in following their instructions and
placing the ammunition where the
firing officer commanded.
For the first week Battery "B"
stayed on the range until Friday
l morning when they moved into
Forte Bragg proper for a regimen
tal parade on Saturday morning.
During this first week the men ob
tained a good sample of actual
army life by being in rain and
having their tents blown from over
them leaving as their covering the
sky above from which the rain
was falling in torrents getting
everything soaked and most went
into bathing suits until it was
over.
Outside of a few colds the men
of Battery "B" withstood these
conditions mighty well. The par
ents of the men as well as the citi
zens of whom they jepresent
should "be proud.
First Sergeant Fred Frazier gave
j this to the reporter: that of all
the years he has been coming to
camp and all the men he has had
under hi& control, the men of Bat
tery "B" of this encampment are
the best he has ever had. They
know their duties and everyone
.does his duty, placing it on no one
else. Stall Sergeant Sidney Hol
mes also states that the men this
year are considerably better than
before.
Captain Green states that he
could ask nothing of any of his
section of the Battery which has
not been fulfilled to the utmost
extent In order to keep Battiery
"B" leading the top of tl\e.list in
being prepared. The Battery has
become proficient in fighting this
"war."

years. Securities which look gilt
edge now may face a depressed
market tomorrow. Nevertheless,
savings in the bank or in stocks,
