EMBARGO BY TURKEY
CHROME FOR GERMANY MAJOR SUPPLIES LOST (10 a.m.) RUGBY. April 20. The Turkish Government has decided to prohibit immediately all exports of chrome, according to information reaching London from Ankara. Further details are not available. It is not yet clear, for instance, whether any other exports, of war material valuable to the Germans are effected by the embargo. Reuter’s diplomatic correspondent says that this decision will deprive Germany of at least half her supplies of this essential alloy for hardening special steels, used for armour-plate. Germany’s remaining supplies, which come from Yugoslavia and Greece, are precarious owing to the activities of the guerrillas.
