IRON FROM THE RUHR
STOCKS SEIZED AT DUNKIRK.
(PUBLISHED LN THE TIMES.) (Received 18th January, noon.)
PARIS, 17th January. The French police have seized 10,000 tons of iron stored at Dunkirk, pending an inquiry as to its destination.. It is alleged that the iron camo from the Ruhr as reparations in kind, and was legally delivered in the French devastated areas, and afterwards sent to.Dunkirk. _ It appears to be established that the original shipping bills were issued in' the Ruhr, and authorised its being sent to Dunkirk. It is stated that since .November there,have been daily deliveries of similar iron to Dunkirk,"and 600 tons have been exported from thence to Japan. The Parisian agents concerned in the forwarding of the goods explain that the iron was sent to Dunkirk for storage's,1 because there was no accommodation elsewhere, and also that the Japanese consignment was in error, Ruhr iron having been sent in mistake for iron from Lorraine. The purchaser for whom the agents acted is said to be an American.
