"Blockade Has No Terrors"
Frankfurt-on-Main,
To-day. "THE blockade as an economic weapon in war-time has lost its ter- rors as far as Germany is concerned," declared Herr Walter Funk, the Reichs Minister for Eco- nomics, in a speech deli- vered here before the Congress of Reich Handicrafts Organisa- tion.

Ger- many a valuable and steadfast commercial partner and... even those countries which were set on harming Germany could only suffer as a result of ignoring.the enormous and growing power of a nation composed of 80,000,000 human beings.-Trans-Ocean.
