PARIS, Oct. 15, (UP)—"Le - Journal," analysing Germany's fundamental resources, sald the Allled blockade would cut off two-thirds of the Reich's normal supply of imported iron-ore and force the majority of her blast furnaces to cease production.

The semi-official "Petit Parisien" predicted that Germany would have to divert large quantities of coal from other uses to the production of syn- thelle pelrol, rubber and other essential goods.

The analyses were published as "On Friday, October 13," continued | replies to Field Marshal Herman Mr. 1yer.
