SHIPMENTS ALLOWED TO SCANDINAVIA. HOLLAND AND 

 DENMARK. 



Manufactured and partly manufactured rubber goods may 

 henceforth be shipped by way of Halifa-x to Scandinavia, Den- 

 mark and Holland, notwithstanding the provisions of the Agree- 

 ments and (luarantees, which call for their movement to those 

 destinations by way of th« United Kingdom. Shippers must 

 make applications through their agents in England to the War 

 Trade Department for a license authorizing the export of goods 

 from the United Kingdom. 



As soon as the export license has been issued, the Foreign 

 Office will notify the Embassy at Washington by telegraph, and 

 the Embassy will issue a special certificate known as a "License 

 Navicert," which the shipper will have to deliver to the shipping 

 company for attachment to the ship's manifest. The Embassy 

 will at the same time inform the authorities at Halifax of the 

 issue of the License Navicert, advising them of the name of 

 the vessel on which the goods will go forward. The vessel will 

 be met at Halifax by the export license issued by the War 

 Trade Department in London, and this will be handed by the 

 naval authorities to the master of the ship. 



A cablegram has been received, which gives details of arrange- 

 ments decided upon by the British Government, regarding re- 

 strictions of importation of rubber manufactures into England, 

 and also regarding direct shipments to Spain and Northern Euro- 

 pean countries. The message reads : 



Interview with Board of Trade confirms that shipments des- 

 tined for Scandinavian countries will go via Halifa.K avoiding 

 England. Shipments for Spain by direct steamer will be permit- 

 ted the exact method of control to be shortly determined on. 

 All goods intended for England leaving factories or ports on 

 through bills of lading prior to May 10 will be admitted without 

 license. Any shipments which may be near but not prior to that 

 date will be admitted by license. Administrative interpretation 

 with the respect to these cases will be reasonable. .\\\ products 

 needed for war will be licensed for admission. Government 

 considering rationing tires on proportion last year's imports.

 any shipments between May 10 and June 1. Expect to get all 

 of these passed.
