It has not stopped, nor apparently lessened, Japanese aerial bombings in China. Since it was imposed 14 months ago the United States has forced to protest repeatedly against the bombing of American properties in China.

"moral embargo" has had an astonishing success. It sufficed for the State Department to call attention to a prospective shipment of airplane propellers to Japan by one large company to induce that firm to cancel its There has been just one failure to abide by the embargo, in the case of the Autogiro, whereas previously American manufacturers had been doing an airplane business with Japan that ran into many millions of dollars annually. Consequently some officials feel the success of the "moral embargo" on airplanes gives justification for their belief that it would have an equal result 4f broadened to include raw materials.

UP) Secretary Ickes suggested today that European industries "broken Up or diverted by current waves of intolerance" be "transplanted to Alaska for the benefit of the United States." His proposal accompanied publication of a report prepared under the direction of Under-Secretary Harry Slattery, which recommended that bars against foreign immigration into the territory be let down on the ground that present restrictions had a "disastrous effect" upon the development and deferse pf Alaska. Key Kole Ickes said he was convinced from a study of the Slattery report that "artisans now fleeing Europe" could "play a key role in creating in Alaska various industries which until now have not been developed in the United States." He added the report was "an invitation to private capital to cooperate in the development of Alaska." "The Slattery report shows that Alaska has the resources of water- power, timber, nsn ana fur upon which a sound Alaskan economy can be based," Ickes continued in a statement to the press. New industries suggested by the secretary included production of various types of fur, leather, paper and wood products "which we now import from European and Asiatic sources." He emphasized that the industrial development of the territory, particularly Southern and Southeastern Alaska, where he said climatic conditions and shipping cilities were favorable, "would in SALE!

STREET FLOOR i mean a tremendous boom for West 1 By ANDRUE BERDING WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. UP) The State Department is giving serious consideration to invoking a "moral embargo" to prevent the shipment to Japan of raw materials eapable of war use. Such a course was suggested by Senator Schwellenbach (D-Washn) in a letter last week to Secretary of State Hull. He proposed extending to raw materials generally the "moral embargo" that Hull imposed last year on the shipment of airplanes to Japan.

No Comment While there has been no comment from Hull, acting Secretary Sumner Welles gave a cordial reception to Schwellenbach's proposal by saying the State Department always studied with the greatest interest the Senator's public statements. He said also that many State Department officials had read the Senator's recent speech in which he advanced the sa'me idea. It is known that several officials the State Department favor such action. They believe that a "moral embargo" on the shipment of raw materials generally to Japan could be made as effective as it has been with regard to airplanes practically complete. The State Department feeling toward the "moral embargo" was made clear in the last monthly report of arms exports.

That report pointed out that the "embargo" on airplanes had just been ignored by one company, which it mentioned by name. The case concerned one airplane an Autogiro, whose cost was $32,000. "With Regret" The department's statement recalled that Secretary Hull had said on June 11, 1938, against the bombing of civilian populations and reminded the public of the circular addressed by the department July 1 of last year to all 'manufacturers and exporters of airplanes, stating that the department would issue only "with great regret" licenses authorizing the export of airplanes to a country engaging in the bombing of civilians. The importance of the report's reference to the matter was that it was made solely because of the sale to Japan of just one airplane, and that airplane was not a powerful bomber or a flashing pursuit plane. The inference is that the State Department is determined that the "moral embargo" shall be 100 per cent effective.

Now the embargo" is extra-legal. Secretary Hull had no congressional authority for making the appeal he did to American airplane manufacturers. Nor does he have the right to refuse anyone license to export airplanes to Japan. In ordinary cases, when a 'manufacturer of war materials applies to the board for an export license, the board must grant it, and that's that. Not Illegal This is not to say that Secre tary Hull's action was illegal.

B. Johnson declined today to take jurisdiction of an attack upon ad valorem tax levies for bond purposes by five special road and bridge districts in Lake County. He said the State Board of Administration was not properly a defendant, and that he did not have jurisdiction over the Lake County commission. He did not decide other issues raised. Thomas B.

Adams, Jacksonville attorney representing Dodge Taylor in the test case, said he would try to get the questions before the State Supreme Court at some later date. Adams contended the Legislature cannot delegate authority for special road and bridge district tax levies to be made by county com missions acting tor the districts. He also said such taxes are invalid because laws seeking to authorize them do not limit the amount of debt or the amount of taxes. Adams sought to make the Board of Administration a defendant in the contest on the ground that county road and bridge district budgets and tax levies are made after the board determines how much gasoline tax revenues may be credited to the counties for bond purposes. Ad valorem taxes are levied by the special districts to provide necessary additional bond funds.

Local Riflemen Will Attend Shoot Five local riflemen will be among competitors at the national rifle shoot at Camp Perry, Ohio, starting next Sunday, all having qualified as members of the Florida civilian team.

There are eight other members of the Florida civilian team, and the 13 will compete in the indi-vidual events, a team of 10 to be selected for the team matches. FATHER ALLOWS GIRL TO UNDERGO OPERATION N. Aug.

15. UP) A father accused by his 15-year-old daughter of withholding permission for an appendectomy unless she would make her home with him, granted the request today. Samuel M. Fleischman, attorney for Teresa Holmes, told Supreme Court Justice Clarence McGregor he had received the signed per mission trom the girl's father, William G. Holmes.

This made unnecessary Holmes' appearance in court to show cause why he should not permit the operation, as directed in an order granted by Justice McGregor Monday. New York State law requires a parent's consent for any operation performed on a minor. Since her" mother's death in 1931, Teresa has been living at the home of an aunt.

Matter For Concern "It is a matter for serious na-, tional concern," Ickes continued, Alaska, with a territory, cli-, mate and resources equal to all Scandinavia, now has, a static pop-, illation of about 60,000 compared a population of 13,000,000 in Scandinavia. I hope that the Slat-. tery report will serve as a powerful impetus to practical thinking and intelligent action in the development of Alaska. Patriotic capital and men and women with the spirit of our pioneers have an opportunity to enlist in the service of the nation, building cities on our last frontier." The report laid emphasis on the need for foreign immigration, as well as for immigration from the United States, pointing out that the development of any new terri- tory was dependent upon the flow of settlers into the region. Present immigration quota laws prevented this in Alaska, it said.

Is Questionable "Whatever justification there may be for the present quota laws with respect to the seltled areas of the United States, application of the same yardstick to an underpopulated territory whose future well-being depends on new immigration and new capital is extremely questionable from the standpoint of national policy," the report asserted. Ickes said the document suggested that "properly planned settlement" would "promote industry, increase permanent population, reduce absentee ownership, encourage commerce, and contribute to the finances of the territory." GUILTY TO CONSPIRACY NEW YORK, Aug. 15.
