FORE|GN-BORN SEAMEN
IN DANGER OF ARREST
Status Of Those Aboard American
Ships II Subject Of
Correspondence.

Status of foreign-born sailors on
American ships. who have either been
naturalized or have taken out first
papers. is being considered in diplo-
matte correspondence between the
State Department and British officials.
It is the hope of officials to secure a
clear understanding as to the exemp-
tion from arrest of such sailors when
they are carried into British ports In
the ordinary voyage of their ships.
View of State Department.
The State Department is understood
to take the position that where the
sailor is fully naturalized there can be
no question of his exemption from ar
rest, in view of the fact that Great
Britain has recognized the right Of
naturalization in her treaties with the
United States.
In cases where the sailor has taken
only the preliminary steps toward
naturalization he will be protected on
even in a British port providing he
does not land from his ship.
Halifax Case Cited.
One of the first cases arose In Hail.

birth who had taken out preliminary
papers went ashore from an American

authorities. The American consul

who had "declared their intention" to
become American cittxens were taken

lists. These men we're subsequently,
