CONTRABAND CONTROL
GERMAN MISREPRESENTATIONS AUTHORITATIVE BRITISH REPLY (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 26. (Received September 27, at 2 p.m.) la view of the passages in Mr Chamberlain’s statement in the House of Commons to-day on the exercise of contraband control by Britain, special interest attaches to the following authoritative reply made in London to the German misrepresentations of British action in this respect as illegal and inhumane: —“Since the beginning of the war no neutral life has been lost as the result of British naval action. Though many neutral ships have been examined in British ports and subsequently released, none has been seized, and no neutral property, except contraband destined for the enemy, has been condemned. The British policy is not to interfere with neutrals’ normal requirements of goods for their own consumption or with legal non-contraband trade.”
