British Press Justifies
Blockade Throat
LONDON, Apr. 8 (Router). The general line of comment in the Home press yesterday dealt with Mr. Chamberlain's speech.
The papers are of the opinion that although the intensification of the blockade, which he forecast, may damage noutrals, in the long run they will benefit from any measure taken to shorten the war.

It is, therefore, felt in well-inform- et circles that some days have yet to elapse before evidence of the Allies' policy taken shape.
Important London Talks
It is expected that the various heads of British missions in the Bal- kans will reach London by the week-end so that talks, can begin on Monday,
Great importance is attached to the opportunity of the presence of these experienced diplomats in London for talks with the Foreign Office.
