OPERATIONS OF BRITISH COMMITTEE USE OF NAVICERT SYSTEM. TRACKING DOWN GERMAN EXPORTS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 3. , During the week ending March 3 the Contraband Committee considered the cargoes of a hundred ships and 28 outstanding cargoes from the previous week. Under the. navicert system, which now applies to nineteen neutral countries, there have been 40.648 applications, the highest figure for one day being 919 on March 28. An increasing number of cases have come to the notice of the enemy export control committee in which attempts have been made to use neutral firms as a cloak for German exports, and appropriate action is being taken by the committee. Last week exemption was granted on humanitarian grounds for 913,000 glass tubes of German origin to be consigned to Rio de Janiero, as Brazilian manufacturers of medical supplies claimed them as indispensable for giving injections.
