Exports of Germans
To Be Seized

many, extending the blockade to
exports as we'll as to imports, would
mean concentration on neutral ship
ping, since Germany herself has
practically no ships at sea now. The
aim would be to halt completely all
sea commerce with Germany.
In reply to Atlee, Chamberlain
explained that under international
law, if unanchored mines are used,
they should become harmless in one
hour, the most after those who laid
them lost control over them. He
said that none of these provisions
had been observed by Germany in
laying the mines, which Britain
considers the cause Of recent ship
losses.
After recounting the loss of more
than ten ships, both British and
neutral and many lives during the
past six days, Chamberlain said:
II may remind the House that in
the last war, as measure of justi-
fled reprisals for submarine attacks
on merchant ships, the exports of
German origin or ownership were
made subject to seizure on the high
seas.
'Many violations of international
law and the ruthless brutality of
German methods have decided us
to follow a similar course now, and
an order in council will shortly be
issued giving effect to this de-

it clear in what way it applied, or
what eventualities it might cover.
1t was learned that the British
Embassy and the State Department
discussed the proposed new export
checking system some days ago. In
response to questions. Welles told
reporters that the projected CONNER

to interfere at present with this

If American exporters have COM

said, these will be considered by the
