LONDON,
August
17:
(CP)
A
military
correspondent
of
th.e
Daily
Express
today
said
that
details
were
known
of
a
German
plan
to
attack
Great
Britain's
trade
route's
by
encirclement.
It
said
that
attacks
upon
the
Faroe
Islands,
Iceland,
Greenland
and
then
Newfoundland
were
contemplated
under
the
plan.
Any
German
attack
on
Iceland
would
find
Canadian
trops
ready
to
meet
it.
;
Meanwhile'
the
German
government
today
declared
a
"total
blockade"
of
Great
Britain
in
answer
to
what
it
claimed
was
Great
Britain's
"illegal"
sea
warfare
by
refusing
to
permit
food
to
reach
neutral
countries
and
(civilian
population
and
by
arming
merchant
ships,
The
declaration
j
warning
that
shipping
approaching
the
British
coast
would
be
sunk
on
sight,
amounts
to
unrestricted
submarine
warfare.
Neutral
governments
are
asked
by
Germany
to
take
action
similar
to
the
United
States
forbidding
vessels
to
sail
in
the

Zone.
