Great Britain has formally raised the
whole question OF food stuffs as contra
band OF war and the legality Of sinking
Russian government presented through
Ambassador Hardinge The views are
practically those embodied in the kings
rpeech at the proroguing OF parliament
The communication takes exception TO
the Russian doctrine that foodstuffs are
contraband takes position against the
right OF Russia to sink neutral merchant
men and demands compensation in the
case OF the Knight Commander.
With regard TO foodetuffs consigned TO
an enemy's ports the communication
maintains that proof that they are intend
ed for belligerents military or naval
forces is necessary in order that they be
considered contraband. 1t illustrates I'm
this contention the case OF the flour on
board the Arabia which was consigned TO
British frm at Yokohama and which
was declared contra band by the Vladivo-
stok prize court
Great Britain contends that the Rus
sian doctrine is equivalent TO declara-
ton that all foodstuffs consigned 10 an
enemys port are Internationally contra
ton at length against the right 10 sink
neutral ships as being contrary TO in
ternational law and usage. Although
couched in friendly terms the note pre-
sents the British position clearly and en-
phatically.
