Control of Exports Will Stop Supplies
to Germany Through Neutrals
w Shinutan DiSnatch Iune 70.

dSH1Hgtou DlSpdICll, JUNE Il.
Control of exports was given the
government today when the Senate
finally approved the administration
espionage bill with its embargo
clause. The measure, now sent to
the President for his signature, puts
into the hands of the executive a
weapon by which it is intended to
stop supplies from entering Germany
through neutral countries.
Passage of the bill removes to E
great extent the necessity of the
British blockade since the United
States, originator Of most of the ex
ports that reach the neutrals, will bt

chinery established during the tire,
