word IL received from the interallied
blockade council that the blockade OF
that country is again in force In the
event that Germany refuses to sign the
peace treaty.
Acting Chairman Woolley said today
that a skeleton Of the wartime ma
chinery of the hoard has been kept In

into effect Immediately its Wartime
restrictions.
In this event the boards principal
weapons to make the blockade effective
probably would be rigid prohibition
against neutrals trading with Germany,
the adoption Of n new enemy trading
list, absolutely prohibition of anything
going to Germany direct, and recourse
to the r%ationing plan applied to neutrals
during the war TO prevent the possibly
ity Of surplus supplies being obtained
by the neutrals which could be ex-
changed for German goods.
