"N.Y. Times" Comment New York, June 12.
Commenting on the Statement of the U.S, Secretary of State the "New York Times' writes "The measures taken with a view to discouraging the sale of aircraft are due to the embarrassment caused the Government by the continued export of bombers to Japan despite declarations from the State Department deploring aerial bombardments, "This appears to be all that can be done for the moment without enforcing the Neutrality Law against Jepan and China. And the Law would bring with it many complichtions and would affect China more than it would Japan.
"In the case of the non-application of the Law, special legislation would be necessary to decide on an embargo prohibiting the despatch of arms to Japan," the newspaper declares.
Concluding, this organ, stresses that Mr. Hull made it obvious that if sales to Japan do not diminish, he would again point out the dissatisfaction of the Government, Havas.
