The direction on cash pur- Plllvhlse! stated that the order exempts sales to licensed taxi- cab owners, and says dealers still may grant credit to oper- ators of motorvehlcleo hearing commercial licence plates.

ROOSHBIt-‘s statement yesterday tn which he spoke in the past tense of American reasons for peymlttlng oil shipments to Japan, the news- paper Nichl Nichi foresaw the pos- sibility of Washington taking some concfelfi SlBDS and observed:-

"Of course Japan cannot antici- pate what course President Roose- velt's action will take and there. fore she must be prepared. Hither- to the British-American strategy has been to keep Japan 0n the sidelines in the effort to destroy the axis powers. It is not certain that this SUM/QB? will be followed in the future."

(This comment was published prior to President Roosevelt/s state. merit Friday that the United States would take specific action Saturday fllzainst Japanese moves in French Tilda-China.)

Newspapers generally adopted a mo"? llmflEonistlc attitude toward both Britain and the United States. They printed arguments blaming American and British economic activities for the disruption of Jap- anese economy, Although they ack- nowledged that this disruption was partly due to the spread of war, they tried to show that Anglo-A- merican motives hostile to Japan had played a large part.
