Export License Extended to Oil And Scrap Iron
President Roosevelt extended the export licensing system to oil and scrap iron and other scrap metal under the defense emergency, turning it effectively into a embargo. The move follows reports that oil shipments to outside the Western Hemisphere have been halted, with Britain blockading such exports to Spain and the Far East. Japan remains a principal buyer of scrap iron, and all exports now require licenses from Lieut. Col. Russell L. Maxwell.
