LONDON, Nov. 24 (U. P).—The Netherlands is considering questioning in the World Court at The Hague the legality of Britain's extension of economic warfare to German exports, well informed diplomatic quarters said today. The report circulated following

Baron Cartier De Marchienne in visiting the Foreign Office and filing a protest against the two-way blockade of Germany. A similar protest was filed by The Netherlands yesterday. Diplomatic quarters said that Japan also intends to protest but will await formal issuance of the ordel in council authorizing extension of the economic whrfare. The Japanese Government, it was said, is anxious lest the British measure prevent delivery to Japan of German machine tools urgently required by the Japanese armament

PARIS, Nov. 24 (U. P.).—Special precautions against epidemic diseases were urged today by the Ministry of Public Health. Dr. R. H.

Holland, Belgium Protest

Holland and Belgium, most vitally affected by the British plan to seize German-made goods from all neutral ships, already had sent

official protests to Britain. Newspapers in Norway

Sweden today called for “common neutral action” against the threat to neutral sea t ade, and suggested that America be included in the

The Olso Tidens Tegn also suggested common neutral action and called belligerent activities “modern

Reports that Stevens and Best had been executed also were denied here. Responsible quarters said they were held in the Storm Troopers headquarters here on Prinzalbrechtstrasse, across the street from the Air Ministry.
