President

today
ordered
restriction
of

tteel
which
will
permit
them
after
October
16
to
go
only
to
countries
of
the
western
hemisphere
and
Great

The
order
implies
an
embargo
against
Japan
which
for
the
past
few
years
has
been
the
customer
for
ninety
per
cent,
of
United
States
exports
of
scrap
iron
and
steel.
It
is
the
hardest
economic
blow
that
United

could
have
delivered
against
Japan
with
the
exception
of
an
embargo
on
petroleum.
