BY ANDRUE BERDING Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 --(C?)

—The State Department is giving serious consideration to invoking a "moral embargo" in the United States to prevent the shipment to Japan of row muteriuls capable of war use.

Such a course was suggested by Senator Schwel‘enbach (Dum- Washington) in a letter last week to state secretary Hull. He pro- posed extending to raw materials generally the "moral embargo" that Hull imposed last year on the shipmmt of airplanes to Jap-

sh.

while there has been no com- ment from Hull. Acting State Secretary Summcr Welles gave a cordial reception to schwellen- bach's proposal by saying the state department always studied with the greatest interest the Senator's public statements. He said also ihllf many state depart- ment offlciuls had read the Ben- ator'5 rccent speech in which be advanced the same idea.

It is known that several officials of the state department favor such action. ‘They bclieve a “moral embargo" on the shipment, of raw material: generally to Japan could be made as gficctlve as it has been with regard to airplanes- practically complete.

The state department feeling to- ward the "moral embargo" was made clear in the last monthly re- port. of arms exports. That X‘8DOI'lJ pointed out that the “(mbargo" on airplane: had just been ignor- ed by one company. which it mentioned by name. The case con- c e r n e‘d one airplane-en autogiro. whose cost was $32,000.

Eskimos Hard'Up, Poor Fur Catch

O'I'I‘AWA. Aug 14 —-(C I’)-— Eskirnos are hard up as the rc- sult of an unexpectcdly poor fur- catch last winter but the health of the natives has improved accord- ing to 9. report received today by

Rcsources Minister Crernr from the Eastern Arctic Patrol now touring the sub-Arctic on the

Steamship Nascopie.

The reason the Eskimos are so healthy according to the report is that the natives did not have furs sufficient to trade in for food- stuffs from the trade stores and had to live on the products of the country. seals, rabbits and the like. so poverty had some re- ward.

The Nascopie has been culling at the Hudson's Bay Company posts collecting the inter's fur catch and the results show the catch has dropped "at least 50 to ‘I5 per cent from last year." (Last year had been considered a moderately poor fur year). Considerwlule relief will be necessary among the natives this winter.
