You may look upon this as the final word.
Since the last lists of contraband and conditional contraband were published, such materials as rubber and copper and petroleum have developed entirely new uses in war.

The British simply will not let Germany import them.

Nothing that can be used for war purposes in Germany now will be used for anything else.

Representatives of Spain, Holland, and all the Scandinavian states agree that they can do nothing but acquiesce and file protests and claims, and they admit that Great Britain has the right to revise the list of contraband.

This is not a war in the sense in which we have hitherto used that word.
