BRITISH EMBARGO ON ARMS

Shipments To Middle East Forbidden

ARAB STATES AFFECTED:

ALL LICENCES REVOKED

London, June 3.

Britain tonight clamped on absolute embargo on all arms ship- ments to the Middle East, in accordance with the May 30 re- solution of the Security Council calling for a truce in Palestine.

An order of the Board of Trade cuts off war supplies to those countries with which Britain has arms. supply treaties. The order covers even such

materials as industrial explosives, which could, conceivably, be converted to military uses. Britain has had an absolute embargo on the supply of arms to either side within .Palestino since carly in February. This ban did not, however, apply to the Arab States with which Britain has arms supply contracts, and to which ship- ments continued after February in fulfilment of these contracts.
