dated 29th September, 1939<>
Following from Ministry of Information for guidance and
press in answer to German attempts to misrepresent our contraband
control as illegal and inhumane. Begins . "Since beginning
of war no neutral life has been lost as result of British action.
Though many neutral ships have been examined in British ports
and subsequently released, none have been seized and no neutral
property except contraband destined for enemy has been condemned 0
British policy is not to interfere with neutrals normal
requirements of goods for own consumption or legal non-contraband
trade 0
Germans also profess to exercise contraband control in
accordance with laws of war. In fact, because they have not
command of the sea and except in Baltic and other rare instances
are not in position to bring neutral shipping for examination to
German ports, they cannot exercise legal contraband control and
there is increasing evidence of their intention to substitute
piracy for it.
Since outbreak of war ten neutral vessels - three Finnish,
two Greek, one Danish, one Dutch, one Belgian and one Norwegian
have been sunk by German action, that is by torpedo, bombing or
explosives placed in them by German submarines or by mines w^ere
no British mines have been laid. In addition to these ten,
Norwegian Honda was sunk on 13th September off Terskelling by
an explosion probably due to German mine. Germans may plead
that neutral ships which strike mines were not deliberately
sunk, but German action in recent days against Martti Ragnar,
Walma, Gertrud Bratt, Fanefjeld, suggest a purposeful war
against neutral shipping". EndS o
