London, March 20.
The American Associated Press publishes an interview with Mr. Runciman, President of tho.British Board of Trade. He said that Britain would shortly issue a far-reaching Otdor-in-Counci), totally prohibiting tho importation of luxuries., from all countries, including the dominions. The issuance of such an order had been forced on tho country entirely owing to tho shortage of tonnage. Motor-cars, musical instruments, cutlery; hardware, yarns, chinaware, fancy goods, and soap would bo banned. Referring to the post-war condition of the workers, Mr. Runciman said he believed Labour would find itself in much the same position at the end of tho war as at the beginning.
