British Order in Council Seeks Harsh War Trade Controls
The British government announced a sweeping order designed to starve Germany of supplies by prohibiting German and neutral ships from cargos to German ports. It imposes prize-court custody, confiscation of goods, and strict penalties for ships sailing from March 1915 onward with enemy or enemy-origin cargo, with conditions for neutral property and potential releases. The decree aims to curb commerce with Germany and empower the crown in enforcement, detailing procedures for goods discharged in British ports and the handling of proceeds.
