Germany Trade Permits Issued to Reopen U S Germany Trade
The War Trade Division of the State Department under Acting Secretary Polk issued general licenses for import and export with Germany signaling immediate resumption of trade. The move, aligned with Paris Council of Five orders lifting the economic blockade, abolishes export conservation and rescinds bunker restrictions blocking port vessel calls. Three ships bound for Germany await blanket license, and Shipping Board plans steamship links from Atlantic and Gulf ports to Hamburg and Bremen. Restrictions remain with Hungary and Bolshevik-controlled Russia.
