The First Lord declared he was “quite clear that our policy has been right" in refraining from bombing Germany. In democratic Britain "we were not as thoroughly prepared at the outbreak of war as was the dictator state whose thought was bent on war." Now the country was far better organ- ized. "There is no doubt that an enormous advance has been made both in protection 0f the civil population and in t punishment ivhich will be inflicted upon raid- ers." Therefore he felt he was right in an earlier address when he said that if "we reached the spring without an interruption of cur sen borne trade and without. anv- ihing serious happening on land or in the air we should in fact have gamed the openina campaign of the war. "i am thankful that this great country has now got into its war stride and has mobilized o. large part of its immense resources and s mobilizing the rest." New Workers Needed In his appeal to workers Mr. Ciitirchill ‘said: “Millions of new ivorkers will be needed and more than 1.000.000 women must come forward into our war industry. I! the trade unionists from patriotic or international motives lay aside for the duration of the war any 0f the special craft usages which they have so carefully built up. they need have no fear that these will not be fully restored to them after the wards won."

Dy Pat Ussher Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON, Jan. 28—(CP)-Britain's two-way economic blockade of Germany continues with relentless severity, cutting off from the Reich badly-needed raw materials and depriving her of foreign mar- kets. The Ministry of Economic War- fare constantly is on the alert for attempts to circumvent the contra- band control‘ system. has evidence that certain firms in neutral countries are at- tempting to camouflage goods of German origin as neutral products. The Ministry hasn't disclosed what countries or what products are concerned. Germany has adopted other evas- ive tactics. Individuals form small companies in neutral countries bordering on the Reich. These l companies order various imports. If they arrive they are forwarded promptly to Germany. But the Ministry is aware of such manoeuvres and officials claim they are usually exposed quickly. Here's how the control of Ger- man exports works. British consuls in neutral countries issue certifi- cates of origin on request to export- ers, once they arc satisfied the goods really are of neutral manu- facture Cargoes covered by such certificates are not ititcriered with by the contraband control. If a ship intercepted and taken to a control station is touud to be carrying exports of German origin they are seized. The ship then 1s allowed to continue its voyage. The goods seized are placed in "cold storage" till the war is over or if perishable they are sold and the proceeds stored. After the war goods or money will be handed over to the exporter or (if he has paid in advance) to the importer. Official-s of the Ministry of Econ- omic Warfare don't expect the ex- port control to yield anything like the quantities oi goods that the im- port blockade yields. They argue a small weekly haul will be the best proof of effectiveness of the scheme. It will mean neutral exporters have decided it. isn't worth trying to get German products through the All- ied blockade. Import control continued to pro- .vide a rich harvest as the war went into its fifth month, By that time some 550.000 tons of contraband goods had been taken by Great Britain from ships of various na- tionalities. some of them British, A typical haul for one week show- ed these seizures: 17,500 tons of petroleum and Allied products; l.- 450 tons of ores and metals; 600 tons-of miscellaneous foodstuffs: 400 ions of oilseeds; 160 tons of cotton: 160 tons of gums and resms, and quantities rubber, chemical pro- ducts, tanning materials, timber and hides and skins.
