United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright
(Received February 9, 6.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, February 8. The Mexico City correspondent of the “New York Time" confirms that Manzanillo has become a clearing house for United States copper for Vladivostock, whence it is suspected it is railed to Germany. The opinion Is expressed that it is to be shipped from Mexico in American vessels because the Soviet cannot spare ships for a long voyage. Three thousand tons of copper and 2000 tons qf lead are awaiting the arrival at New York of the Soviet freighters Engels and Kim.
A message from San Pedro states that the Mayakovsky loaded 200 tons of molybdenite consigned to Leningrad, which is believed to be destined for Germany. The molybdenite has been lying here for weeks. Fruitless efforts have been made to dispatch it aboard neutral ships, which feared British confiscation as contraband.
