Allies Cash and'Ships are Killing Her Economically "Unless we force the Salkans to fight an economic war on our side we shall be strangled by the blockade," declared a representative of Germany's gigantic chemical industries at Zurich on December 9. He was on his way to the Balkans, says the Zurich correspondent of the "Sunday Express."
An invisible blockade is far more devastating than naval warfare aimed at chasing German battleships and submarines off the seas. Particularly is this so since England and France pooled their buying.
In the Balkans the Allies are not Sighting with lead and steel, but with gold and silver. Wherever foodstuffs and raw materials are ready for sale presentative of some well known Bri or French drm, in reality acting for his Government, appears, ready to pay spot cash—sterling or dollars—for timber, ores, grain, hides, textiles, fibres, or anything vitally necessary to Germany, When the deal is closed, the buyer, who as a rule does not really need the goods, has them warehoused, under the pretext that he is unable at the moment to obtain transport to England.
