London, May 16.
No licences have been issued for the export of war material since February 4, 1938, declared Mr. Oliver Stanley, President of the Board of Trade, in the House of Commons today.
He made this statement when Mr. Robert Morgan, National Conservative member for the Stourbridge division of Worcestershire, asked whether such material as was being exported to Japan was capable of being used for bombing operations such as they were now carrying on against the civil population in China.—Reuter.
