BERLIN, Dec. 6 (Reu- ter).-The growing effect of the Allied economic measures on German trade, especially on exports, is em- phasised in a warning to neutral countries given by Berlin to-day.

In what was called an "authoritative statement to the foreign press," neutral countries are told that they can no longer make mere "paper protests" to the Allies.

They must take active mea- sures against the seizure of Ger. man exports,
