BLOCKADE RUNNERS.
BRITISH BLACK LIST,
LONDON, Sept. 18. A black list of blockade runners is to be issued by the Ministry of Economic Warfare, and in future these ships will not be given any British facilities or navicerts.
This means, in effect, that they will automatically become liable to capture and confiscation wherever they are found to be in the navicert area—the waters of Continental Europe and Northern Africa. Furthermore, they will not be able to get any help of any sort in any harbour under British control. During thc last war this system of the black list was exceedingly deadly. Indeed, it would hardly be an exaggeration to say it was the black list which was the foundation of the. long-’ range blockade by which Britain strangled Germany in the end.
