G I B R A L T A R--Under-Secretary of State Sumner Welles sat chatting with British officials on the deck of the Italian liner Rex off Gibraltar late today while British contraband control officers removed 34 bags of United States mails addressed to Germany and Poland in defiance of Washington's protests against these actions.
The Under-Secretary was given a though example of British blockade methods and saw the Rex put through the Gibraltar contraband control station in three hours and 40 minutes in contrast to periods ranging up to more than two weeks for American ships forced into some of the Allied contraband control ports.
