RUSSIA, JAPAN BUYU. S. PLANES

AT FAST PACE

Outbreak of War Next Spring ~ Involving Germany Seen By Experts. (Copyright, 1936, by United Press)

+ WASHINGTON, Dee. 4—~Soviet Russia and Japan are buying

Anterican airplanes at a fast-grow- |

dng. pace in preparation for the German - Russian - Japanese war which military experts now believe may break out next spring, United Press learned today.

Russia, with | ‘her enormously gr ter resources, is outstripping n in purchases of these planes > a ratio of nearly two to one. In addition Soviet factories are turning out hundreds of fighting planes under a forced production schedule,

During the past 30 days Soviet |.

airplane purchases in this country totaled approximately $1,000,000, the United Press was informed. These purchases were sald to be merely the prelude to other orders already placed for future delivery, or concerning which bonafide inquiries have been made of American manufacturers, Japan Spends $600,000

During the same. period Japan |. was reported to have purchased | approximately $600,000 worth of American airplanes, and has placed.

orders for, or made inquiries concerning, additional ships.

Virtually all of the Russian order, |!

Department of Commerce oSicials said, was turned out _by the Martin factory near Baltimore, The ships were. of big transports similar to those used in regular airways transport service in this country. While they “are listed as non-military, military officials agree that they could be converted easily into deadly bombing planes as powerful as any now possessed by any European army. Japanese purchases, it was undarstood, were distributed among sev-

eral factories, Officials here believe |

the Japanese were purchasing these . planes more with a view of using them as models for manufacture of similar planes in Japan. than with

a View to placing them into im-

mediately military service.

The . Soviet and Japanese pur-

chases were said by Department. of

Commerce officials to be representa-

tive of the interest taken in American aircraft by foreign governments,

particularly ‘those menaced. by the |:

war clouds now gathering over Europe. Inquiries and orders are pouring in upon American manufacturers, it was stated.

Neutrality Law “Feared

One of the obstacles in the way of immediate placing of many of these orders, officials said, is the possibility that the American neutrality law may prevent shipment of the planes, if war should break out in Europe between now and the time the planes are ready for ship-

ment. The law requires the Presi-|"

‘dent to proclaim an embargo on shipment of arms, ammunition and’

Amplements of war to any and all{ rations engaged in war, immediate- |

ly war breaks out.

The neutrality law lists commer- | cial planes as well as military planes{:

as coming within the scope of “arms, ammunition . and implements of war,” which: would be affected by the export embargo. Even in peace time export licenses must be obtained on all types of planes, as well as upon airplane motors and parts,
