There are two reasons for this atti-
tude Of the German Government In
holding back It's own exports. Tho
nrst 10 TO maintain the principle that
Germany will not accept the favor
and grace Of any special exceptions
granted by England to lift a corner OF
the blockade In behalf of the United
States or other favored nations. Ger
many does not recognize the legality
Of the blockade and TO consent to an
exception would be tantamount 70
recognising its existence.
The second reason 10 that Germany
does not intend to trust its valuable
manufactured articles to the power oil

that England will not seize and con
nscate for its own use cargoes O
goods much needed In the BIRTHS,

While United States merchants ma,
