Washington, Mar. 2.
Mr, Cordell Hull, the Secretary of State, said yesterday he had not been informed of any new developments in the Japanese-American trade situation.
Mr. Joseph Grew, the United States Ambassador to Tokyo, was continuing conversations with the Japanese Foreign Office, sometimes on general questions and sometimes on specific questions, but nothing of importance had developed from them, the Secretary said.—United Press, Preparedness Urged, Tokyo, Mar. 2.
The United States Senate will probably pass an embargo against Japan after which "we must be prepared to wage war against the United States," the "Chuo Koran," a popular magazine of the intelligentsia declared today.
Japan, the magazine said, must recall her ambassador from the United States in the event of the passage of an embargo "to show our grim determination."
Japan should announce the maximum rights the United States will be allowed in China following the establishment of the new "Government" of Mr. Wang Ching-wei, leader of the lump "Kuomintang," the magazine said. She should also warn the United States that an attempt to increase those rights would result in an "unavoidable frontal clash," the magazine continued, "Regarding the Nine Power Pact," ihe "Chuo Koron"^ concluded, "our former mild attitude must be abandoned and necessary concrete pro-Parations made for {he final abrogation of it."—United Press.
