U. S. TAKES ROLE IN ECONOMIC WAR
Roosevelt's Decision to Embargo Scrap Metal and Oil May Bring Retaliation by Japan; Nazi Leader Warns Americas. By JOE ALEX MORRIS

sharpened by European War emerged at such distant] scenes as Havana, Tokyo, Salzburg and London.
At Tokyo and in Japanese-con-| trolled Shanghai, there were sharp | comments on President Roosevelt's | decision to permit an embargo of} oil, scrap metal and similar essential war supplies which are needed by the Axis Powers but are most important to prosecution of Japan's war against China. Japan, it was] said, may consider retaliation, possibly by seeking to cut off American supplies—such as tin and rubber— from the Dutch East Indies. |
Funk Warns U. S. |
|! At Shanghai, a Japanese spokesman suggested that the United &, es action could not be regarded , “very friendly” toward Japan, but he sought to minimize the im- | mediate effect of Mr. Roosevelt's] action—generally regarded as of aid to a Chinese Government that had bitterly protested Britain's decision to cut off supplies over the »Irma Road as demanded by Japan. In Germany, the economic struggle was pushed with great vigor by | the Government of Adolf Hitle™, whose economics minister, Walther Funk. issued a special “warning” to the United States yesterday to cooperate with the “new order” being, set up in Europe or face the loss! of such trade as the AXIS rowers can control. : Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim] Von Ribbentrop called the govern-| ment leaders of Rumania end Bulgaria to Salzburg for conferences designed to begin a solution of Balkan problems with the idea of preventing disturbances during the German-Italian war against Britain and of getting the most in the way of war supplies from the small southeastern states. { southeastern states. Hitler conferred with the visitors today but no word of the subjects discussed was given. Nazis, Turkey Sign Treaty l Hitler, who plans to work the T.alkans into Nazi plans for a new Furopean economy centering around a great. industrial Germany, has been credited with seeking to persnade Rumania—now pro-Axis—to meet, the territorial demands of Bulgaria and Hungary. That such concessions must be made eventually appeared to be ad-| mitted in Bucharest, but it was re-| ported by Nazi sources that the, present conferences at Salzburg are for the primary purpose of making clear the attitudes of the various parties rather than seeking an im-| mediate settlement. | In addition, the Germans con-| cluded a new trade treaty with | Turkey which was described as| greatly increasing exchanges be-| tween those two countries. In Bucharest, it was reported Ru-| mania has agreed in principle to| moderate territorial concessions to Hungary and Bulgaria, but has hope that in return, with Germany's aid, she may regain at least part of the Bessarabian territory taken from her bv Russia. Russia Reports Atrocities In Moscow, however, newspapers published today a long dispatch reporting Rumanian “atrocities” against Bessarabians who returned to Bessarabia from Rumania. Robbery, confiscation of property and tortures were alleged. There was no indication whether reprisals were to be considered. At Havana, the United States was believed to be making marked progress toward creating a solid front of American republics to block outside economic, political or military interference. Secretary of State Cordell Hull| took personal charge of the drive for a strong stand by the 21 Republics.
