LONDON. Dec. 2-To-day's session OF
the House OF Commons was marked by
AN important discussion OF the ques.
ton Of naval blockade. Sir Henry Dali
zlel asserted that linseed oil IL Of the
greatest value during wartime becaus.
OF the glycerinc II. contained. which IN
turn is essential for the manufacture OF
explosives.
During the first nine months OF last
year Sir Henry said. Holland imported
2e9 tons OF glycerine. During the first
nire months OF this year 2s.5ll tons OF
the product were imported by the Meth
erlands. At the same time. he pointed
out. the Exports from Holland to Ger
many had risen from i.so3 TO $4,000
toni in the sarne period.
Mr.. Big,and, a leading produce mer.
chant of Liverpool, said the Allies would
win the wal IL the British could prevent
Germany from obtaining from neutrals
supplies OF fats, nuts and seeds during
the next seven months.
Lord Robert Cecil. Parliamentary
Under Secretary Of the Foreign Once.
replied in behalf Of the Government.
"Our policy Is to secure the metaphori-
cal starvation OF Germany and to de-
prive her OF certain essential articles
he said. 1T is equally essential to do
nothing that neutral countries a justly
object to. The question Of imports into
Holland OF oil bearing fatty substances

The Government has told the Neither
lands that the overseas Trust imports
into Holland ought not TO exceed the
amount necessary for the reasonable
consumption by Holland.
The Dutch trust had fixed the limit
bases OF consumption in the Netherlands
from 1911 to 1918"
Regarding the charge that the Foreign
Once has ALLOW ed German exports to
pass the blockade since March / Lord
Cecil said:
1t is inaccurate TO say that we al

Won Bethmann-H ollweg, the Imperial
German Chancellor. Is expected to yield

venes on December IL make a definite
statement on the attitude Of the Govern
ment. This Is indicated to-day by a
number Of semi-official statements made
In organs close to the Government. The
report follows close upon the announce
ment OF a forthcoming Socialist Interpret
lation, a spirited article In IorudertS

Td0eblatt, a paper close 10 the Imperial
Chancellor.
1t can he stated. however, that the

statement OF Germany's prospective
peace conditions. but will rather be IN

would not at this time receive any atten-
ton from Germany's enemies.
The Overseas News Agency issued a
semi-oficial statement to-day for cir
culation In America n other neutral
countries.
This statement asserts in effect that
the German press clamor for inforna-
ton on the German peace conditions Is
based upon the TACT that nobody In
Germany can understand why our enc
mics. after their diplomatic defeats in
the Balkans and the military failures on
the various theatres of war, have moi
yet initiated peace negotiations"
Continuing. the agency announces that
the Chancellor will discuss these pos
sibilities within the next few days and
that subsequent debates will probably
show that the rulers OF the countries
hghting Germany continue to be blinded
and Sill believe that Germany car be
starved out and have hallucinations re-
garding an economic debacle and other
disasters within the empire"
For these reasons. the statement ex-
plains, peace terms suggested by Ger
many. although dictated by our sue
ctsses on all fronts" would be inter-
preted by all enery nations las weak
