REGISTRY LAWS MAY
NEED AMENDMENT.
Ships Now Fly American Flag Which
British Are Selling A. Property
of Enemies.

Washington Nov. 15.--OdIcials of
the State Department are reaching the
conclusions that laws OF the United
States governing the admission OF YES
sells to American registry should be
amended so as to make domestic pruc.
tice more in accord with the law OF
nations, 1t Is possible that recon-
mendations to this effect may he
transmitted to Congress at the com.nl
session, though II IS limited that the
prospects of bringing about amend
ment to the registry laws Is not par
ticularly good at this time.
The cases of the vessels If the Trans
Atlantic Steamship Company have
brought the matter TO the fore at the
State Department recently. These
vessels were granted registry last
summer under the act OF last year gov
erning the admission to American
registry of foreign built vessels. They
are now being seized by British
cruisers on the ground that while they
may be entitled under United States
law to fly the American flag, they ate
really vessels belonging 10 enemies of

The company OF which Richard
Wagner, of New York, is president.
presented TO washington nriTna faCle
evidence that the vessels were owned
by the firm which had been incor-
poIated in this country. Under the
Jaw the department of commerce had
no choice in the matter and was com
PEELED 10 grant registry on the basis Of
this evidence. Now that the vessels
are being seized by the British on the
charge that they are enemy saips, the
State DEPARTMENT is being called upon
to take mec sures TO enable the vessels
to keep the seas. In this respect ii has
not entirely satisfied those interested
in the vessels in question.
Counsel for the company have made
argument at the State Department
that even under existing law the grant
ing OF registry Is proof Of the United
States belief in the right of vessel to
ay the American flag under interna-
tional law as well as under domestic
law. With this view the State Depart
ment is inclined to differ. 1t has ar
ranged that counsel for the Trans
Atlantic Company shah 81 bmit in
writing their arguments which will be
taken under consideration.

Incidentally Mr., Churchill sounded

outcome Of the war. Also. he made
another prophecy.
