LONDON, Jan. 5.-(By MaiD
Great Britain is expected to put
fats and oils on the list of absolute
contraband, just as it did with cot
ton. Scientists have been demand
ing that this be done for some time,
saying it is the ignorance of govern
ment officials concerning the use of
fats and oils in the manufacture of
high explosives which has lett this
raw material supply open to Ger
many this long. Prof. Il. b. Poul-
ton of Oxford calls it the nation

part: 1T is dangerous that a coun-
try which depends on science for its
existence and prosperity should be
ruled by politicians and civil ser
wants VINO, with hardly an excep-

friendship than German defeat, have

ton fats and oils Cotton is al
ready on the absolute contraband
list, this action having been taken
after widespread campaign by
scientists who claimed that cotton
exported to Germany was merely so
much ammunition for the German
army.
Sir William Ramsay. leader of the
scientists campaign against cotton,
has begun campaign against fats
and oils which. he says, are vital
to German ammunition making. Sir
William declared today: "one-thiri
