BRITISH SHIPPING
BERLIN'S RESTRICTIONS REPRISAL SUGGESTED (Received August 16. 5.a p.m.) LONDON, Aug. 15 The Foreign Office has received a report from the British Embassy in Berlin regarding the effect of the German restrictions on British shipping. Legal and commercial experts are to consider the position immediately. The Star says a combined deputation of British shipowners suggested a Government ban on German liners in British ports as a reprisal for the proposed Nazi order prohibiting the export of German goods except in German ships. The Nazis' discrimination against foreign shipping is part of the antiSemitism aimed at German Jews, who are refusing to travel or send cargoes in German vessels. Retaliatory measures would bo disastrous to German shipping, which carries 70 per cent of foreign passengers. A message from Berlin intimates that the shipping order may be modified. It is explained, that its object was not to prejudice foreign lines, but to ensure compliance with the German exchange regulations. The reports in reference to goods in foreign ships are semi-officially denied.
