Critics of the government’'s policy and the defenders thereof were equal- ly insistent on the necessity of en- “a blockade as eflective as ' but they joined issue on the | best method of enforcing this, a keen desire being shown in some quarters to make the interference with neu- | tral commerce as light as possible. The demand was general, however for a greater stringency in the pre vention .of foodstuffs and other condi- tional contrabund passing by neutral countries into Germany.
