TIGHTER BLOCKADE
APPROVED BY BRITISH LIBERALS IMPORTANCE OF STOPPING GERMAN EXPORTS. CUTTING OFF ABILITY TO PAY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) (Received This Dav. 12.10 pan.) LONDON. April 2. In the House of Commons, the Chief Whip of the Liberal Party, Sir Percy Harris, in the absence of Sir Archibald Sinclair, said the whole country supported the tightening lip of the blockade. There was no need to consider the Nazis, who had broken every principle of international law and humanity. Colonel J. C. Wedgwood said the Allies' best blockade weapon was the prevention of Germany's export trade thus stopping her getting raw materials in exchange, as the real check on Germany’s buying would be her ultimate incapacity to pay. Neither Rumania nor Bulgaria and certainly not Russia would supply Germany unless they were paid.
