FRANCE JOINS IN REPRISAL
(Received 23, 12.45 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 22. It is officially announced in Paris that the French Government has taken the same decision as Britain concerning German export trade as a result of the nature of the naval warfare which the Germans have been conducting for several weeks, and especially in the last few days. Italian newspapers publish Mr. Chamberlain’s announcement of the measure without comment, hut give much space to the German allegations that the reprisal amounts to open robbery. The British decision was expected in Rome, but the speed with which it was made caused surprise. Acting on the advice of the Government, Dutch shipowners have cancelled all sailings from Dutch ports.
