ißritisli official Wireless.) (Received May IS, 7.5 p.m.) RUGBY, May 17.
Tlie Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare, -Mr. Dingle Foot, speaking at Liskeard. said : "In spite of the Marseilles leak and the other leak through Siberia, Britain has enforced a far stricter blockade than in the first 20 months of the last war, when goods were permitted to How into Germany from Holland. Denmark. Norway and Sweden.
"The sea routes by which German industry is normally fed are cut off. Imports from overseas can no longer be carried down the Rhine and Elbe to the industrial belt of western Germany. It follows that essential supplies must be brought by long uneconomic overland routes. One of the chief problems facing Germany is the substituting of land for sea transport.”
