BRITISH CONTRABAND CONTROL
London, To-day.
The effectiveness of the 'British contraband control system is revealed in an offi- cial statement that already large quantities of contra- band have been prevented from reaching the enemy.
Replying to the German wireless distortion of the purpose of the Bri- tish contraband policy as a stran- gulation of neutral trade, the state- ment emphasises that Britain does not seek to dictate to any neutral Government, she will do all in her power to facilitate bonu fide neutral trade and no attempt will be made in any way to prevent the normal importation into neutral countries of foodstuffs and other goods and ma- terial destined for their own consump tion.-Reuter,
