PORTUGAL’S WOLFRAM
LONDON, May 11. Portugal was given a plain hint tonight that unless she stops the tree flow of wolfram to Germany Britain will have to reconsider the equally vital supplies which she is sending to Portugal, says the "Daily Express.” Sir Ronald Campbell, the British Ambassador to Lisbon, in the course of the negotiations, which so far have been inconclusive, pointed out to Dr. Salazar that the United Nations can no longer justify deliveries of coal and wheat to governments which are helping the enemy. Britain's coal agreement with Portugal comes up for revision in June. Portugal has already received thousands of tons under the pact with the Allied established bases in the Azores. She has also received thousands of tons of British wheat, which she needed because of last years bad harvest. . Berlin radio gave out the following official announcement:— "In view of the Turkish Governments stoppage of chrome deliveries to Germany, contrary to treaties existing between the two countries, the German Ambassador. Herr von I’apen, has handed to the Turkish Government a statement from his Government on the situation created by this Turkish breach of agreement.” ____________
