British Adopt U.S.Plan
Of Licensing Exports
Embassy Here Explains Re-
Gently Issued En-
barge Order

WASHINGTON. Oct. 10.-The British
Embassy has explained to the State De
partment the object of the recent Brit
ish order in council enormously an
nounced as a prohibition Of exports
from the United Kingdom to the North
ern European neutrals, the only eN-
cepted articles being personal effects
and printed matter.
IL was stated that before the order
was issued there existed list of pro-
hibited exports which covered most
commodities. and TO make it absolutely
commemorative the order in council
was issued decreeing that nothing
should be exported except by license.
The British government simply adopted
the policy Of embargo already enforced
in the United States.
The new order, IT was said. does MOI
mean that no exports shall be allowed
to the Northern neutrals. but that in
every instance of expectation a license
shall be required The effect of The
order was not. either. to abrogate the
agreements entered into by the British
government with the Northern neu-
trails. as has been incorrectly reported.
Britain, however. has cancelled some
agreements. Norway and Denmark
principally being affected.
