Washington, Jan. 16.
Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, drew to Japan's attention during his press conference here yesterday that the expiring Japanese-American trade treaty of 1911 is only one of several matters now pending between the two Governments.
Although he did not name the other matters specifically, it was believed Mr. Hull was referring tọ American protests to Japan against Japanese violation of American rights and attacks on American nationals in China, Mr. Hull was silent on the Tokyo announcement that Japan bad presented the United States with a draft modus vivendi which Japan proposed as æ substitute for the expiring trade treaty. Mr. Hull said he could not say whether such a proposal had been received from Japen. He said there had been no new developments in the Japanese-American trade situation, however.
