LONDON — (By the Associated
Press) — The outcry raised by
British merchants In Cologne
against the Franco-Belgian cus
toms barrier around 'Jhat area
gathers strength daily. The chief
complaint Is , that British trade
with Germany Is being strangled
and Is almost at a standstill.
The British Chamber of Com-
tmerge In Colbgne has renewed its
pruJcsta to the London govern
ment against what It reganls ns an
attempt to blockade tho zone. It
saqns that there also is some
resentment'over the action of tho
French anil Belgian troops In com
pletely surrounding tho British
ridsoliead which has made its im
possible for the English to move
eastward without obtaining per
mission of tho mill posts: There
are rcpor.h that the relations be
tween these posts and tha British
nre none too friendly.
