Berlin. June 14.
German authorized quarters reiterated yesterday that Reich armed forces will sink every ship, regardless of nationality, bound for England with contraband aboard. The statement was made in commenting on the sinking of the American imighter, s. Robin Moor, by a German submarine.
"Many ships already have been sunk, and one should not imagine that the Robin Moor is the only ship sunk by us en route to England," authorized quarters stated.
"We will sink every ship with contraband aboard that is sailing to England whether its name is Robin Moor or Exmoor or what you will."
Authorized quarters stated that the goods reported to have been aboard the Robin Moor were on the British contraband list and therefore automatically would be on the German contraband list. They added that Cerman authorities considered that goods en route to Capetown were en route to an enemy harbour.—United Press.
