Washington, Jan. 29.
Efforts to sidetrack legislation to impose an embargo on exports to Japan, and instead, extend additional financial aid'to China are gaining some headway in the Senate, according to current reports.
These say that the Secretary of State, Mr, Cordell Hull, has informally advised legislative leaders that the State Department preferred that no embargo should be imposed at present.
Mr. Hull is represented as being opposed to complication in the present situation following the expiry of the commercial] treaty with Japan as the expiration of the treaty automatically meant that Japan must respect the United States' rights if she wishes to continue trading.—
