GERMAN THREATS TO NEUTRAL COUNTRIES

London, To-day. GERMAN PROPAGANDA is already being directed to threatening neutral countries who have been told in plain terms what Germany regards as neutral and what as unneutral conduct. The German wireless has distorted purpose of the British contraband policy as setting out to strangle neutral trade and bringing starvation and death to old people, women and children in neutral countries.

Britain does not seek to dictate to I any neutral government. It is in no sense her policy to wish to damage the economy of neutral countries with whom she is anxious to maintain the friendliest relations and no attempt is being made in any way to prevent normal importation into neutral coun- tries of foodstuffs and other goods and material destined for their own con- sumption.

What Britain is endeavouring to do is to prevent the German Government from importing goods and material which will enable them to prolong the

war.

In the House of Lords yesterday, the Opposition Leader commented on the Government statement in both Houses on the war situation.

PREPARED TO STRIKE Speaking of the outbreak of war, he said the position of the German sub- marines indicated, in his view, that Germany had prepared to strike at a particular time.

The leaflet raids over Germany, Lord Snell said, had been a success -so great that the German Govern
