TOKIO. April 14 (Sunday).—Japan thinted plainly today that the United States’ reported efforts to deprive her -of her Latin American markets might “cost the American cotton grower some of his big market in Japan. A statement the foreign office handed to the Japanese press said United States commercial interests were agitating to exclude Japanese products from Central and South America. 1f Nippon's exports to those markets are restricted, the statement added, “it will affect our purchasing power, especially with reference to United States cotton, and will consequently react unfavorably upon America’s ex- port trade to Japan.” $100,000,000 Yearly. United States cotton sales to Japan average some $100,000,000 annually. They constitute the largest single item in America’s agricultural export “trade. Sales last year totaled slightly " more than all Japan's exports to the United States—401,000,000 yen against 399,000,000 yen (the yen is currently quoted at about 383 United States cents) Lending point to the foreign office’s “ hint is the fact that Japanese commer- ¢ cial and industrial leaders are seek- * ing to improve trade with Brazil, buy- -“ing larger quantities of Brazilian cot- ton and selling more Japanese prod- ucts there. If the plan proves feasible, it is ‘expected to remove the cramping ef- fects on Japanese export trade of ¢ Brazil's rigid control of foreign ex- change, which makes it imperative » for any country wishing to sell goods in Brazil to buy there first. Heretofore this control, coupled with ;Japanese inability to find use for any considerable amount of the products of the Amazon country, has nullified all efforts of high-pressure Japanese commercial machinery to find in Bra- 2il the welcome its goods have claimed elsewhere in-Latin America. “Feverish Visitation.” The foreign office statement, issued during the visit of American industrial leaders, headed by W. Cameron Forbes, former American Minister to Tokio and now Governor General of the - Philippines, said “interested concerns in the United States,” which fear loss of their Latin American markets, are “feverishly agitating for the exclusion of Japanese goods from those coun- tries.” The foreign office’s assertion that | Japan's exports to Latin America are | decreasing was not borne out, how- ever, in figures issued by the finance " ministry, which revealed that Janu- ary and February exports to Central America and South America totaled 8,229,000 and 12,501,000 yen against 3,458,000 and 8,780,000 yen in the same period last year.

Roberts said the Legion is opposed to war, but he condemned the activities of organizations that | attempt “to prevail upon citizens ol‘ the United States, particularly stu-| dents, to join in any movement which endeavors to commit them not to support their Government in time of | war.” Roberts also asserted that students “innocently lend themselves as pawns in the hands of sinister agencies” who are not actually interested in the peace of the world. Meanwhile, students who partici- pated in the anti-war demonstration continued yesterday to make plans for another strike next April in which the General Strike Committee hopes to have every school and college here participate.

Hopkins and former Gov. Alfred E. 8mith, the investigators took notice of a fresh barrage of un- kind remarks today with the observa- tion that they really should be con- strued as compliments. “The squeaking and vociferous at- tacks by those whose activities are the subject of this investigation,” said Chairman Bernard 8. Deutsch, “is the finest compliment that could be paid to the ‘effectiveness of its work.” Public interest, aroused by the dis- closure that the committee was hot on the trail of the “boon-doggle”— at first believed to be a rare kind of fish, but later isolated and identified as nothing more exciting than a Boy Scout lanyard—was beginning to wane, however, just as critics of the inquiry were getting in their best licks.
