However, the embargo-now group | within the Cabinet contends that the Dutch East Indies are fortified sufficiently to with stand four months' seige, U. S. fleet on guard in that general area, Japan could not risk an at- ‘ tack on these islands. What makes the intra-Cabinet de- bate doubly vital is knowledge that as long as the British fleet keeps the Italian and Nazi fleets bottled | up in Europe, the U. S. fleet can operate as a one-ocean navy, there- by keeping most of its vessels on guard against Japan in the Pacific. But once Britain's naval weakens, then the United States wiil have the navies of the European dictators to contend with in the At- lantic, plus the Japanese in the Pacific And a two-ocean drive on South America by both the dictators and Japan is more than the Navy likes to contemplate. That is the chiel argument behind the “total-em- bargo now" group LIMITED EMBARGO ON OIL The Cabinet indifference first came to a head more than a month ago when the action-now group placed on the President's desk an executive order embargoing the sale of oil. They argued that with the military cligue in Japan actually threatening war, they could not centinue to give the Japanese navy this vital fuel. The President con- ~ curred and signed the order. Then it went over to the State Depart- ment to be carried out. And the State Department revised the order s0 that it applied only to high test | gasoline. The embargo-now ercup also ad- vocated an immediate stoppage of all scrap iron shipments to Japan. ' . t @gain ' intervened so that fia iron ship- and that with the| defense | much urging by th National De- ;I 'nse Commission, | bargoed. | to Japan still is a moot question in- | side the Cabinet, and is being dis- | cussed with the British Govern- I ment. |NAVY Vs, ATE DEPARTMENT | Last week one argument over this point and over general naval policy in the Far East developed inte a hot debate between the Navy, on one side, and Hull and Welles on the |other, It took place at the White {House, in front of the President. | who did most of the listening. Hull and Welles contendéd that if we stopped Japan's oil supply she would certainly attack the Dutch East Indies, and that the United States could not possibly afford to have ships in that area because they might be needed in Atlantic waters. Welles pointed out that the Germans might seize the Azores or |the French naval base at Dakar, | West Africa, which would menace | South America | 'To this, Admiral Leahy, now Gov- |ernor of Puerto Rica ‘and one of Roosevelt’s closest naval advisers, replied: “Gentlemen, we don't have to worry about Dakar and the Azores now. The British fleet can still revent Germany from taking them. But a few months from now it may se different. By next Spring, or even this winter, the wat may have one against the British in the Med- itterean, and then we'll have two oceans to defend. Now we have cnly one.” “FIREBRAND” LEAHY Participating in the discussion were Secretary of the Navy Knox, | Republic Admiral Richardson, Commander of the U. 8. Fleet; and Admiral Stark, Chief of Naval Op- erations. The argument continued roughshod, and at one point Wells |told Admiral Leahy: “You always were something of a firebrand.” | To this Leahy replied that he was |simply looking naval facts in the face, that he knew what the British were up against, and that we were a lot better off if we gave the Brit- ish help in the Pacific now. “If |we wait,” Adniiral Leahy concluded, was finally em- | The question of cutting off oil| | | | ’ | discussion being sold to Great Britain, since| they would be needed in the Pa- cific. “Not at all,” rplied Leahy. “We will use exactly .the planes which | the Navy has today. We can't get any more planes on our airplane car- riers than we have at present, so we can't use any more planes until we build new airplane carriers, and they aren’t built in a month or even nine months. So the British can keep right on getting their planes.” | Secretary Knox supported Leahy emphatically throughout the argu- ment, and the meeting ended, af- ter some of the most bare-knuckle recently exchanged on] foreign policy, with no definite de- | cision. Further conferences are being held, and a final decision on shut- ting off all Japan's war supplies probably will depend on develop- ments in both the Far East and Eu- rope.
