Judged by the March imports from
abroad at the port of New York, the
German submarine blockade seems a
much overrated menace. March inn
ports from Europe were ahead of Feb
ruarv imports by $l2,000,000, and
compared with March, 1916. they fell
off by only $l26,00o. The March inn
ports from Great Britain, received IN
New York, were almost double those
of February, and French imports also
increased by a million dollars ovcl
those of February. The German sub
marines are expected to cut off al
trade, whether incoming or outgoing
