JAPANESE BLOCKADE RUNNERS
Japanese blockade runners are attempting to deliver large cargoes of rubber, tin and other vital war materials to Germany. The Daily Herald. London, states: “Freighters have been slipping from Japanese controlled ports in the Far East for weeks. Some already are at the bottom of the ocean, sent there by the British Navy, but the Navy has its work cut out. The blockage runners sail on ’back lane’ routes, with radios out of commission and with no lights. “Some are trying the Cape Horn route; others go by the Cape of Good Hope. Our occupation of Madagascar spoked a plan to refuel there on the 16,000-mile trip to Germany. Now they have to unload at French North African port s :. “There is no evidence thus far that the Germans have tried to carry out , their side of the bargain by sending machine tools and other finished goods to Japan ”
