not alter the view Of the United States
government that the contraband might
have been removed and the vessel
spared. Under the general rules of in
ternaJional law the destruction of a
neutral vessel carving contraband was
not admitted until the famous Knight
commander case in the Russo-Japanese
war. TIE Declaration of London in
1909 embodied the principle as applica-
BILE in extreme cases. but stipulated
that passengers and crew must be
transferred to a place of safety and
the case itself later sent to a prize
court fer determination as to the le-
sality of the act.
The United States in the case Of
the William P. Frye, however, took
its stand irrespective of the general
principles of international law as set
forth in the unratified Declaration of
London, going back to a prior author
ity-the Prussian- American treaty of
lS2S-as a document that covered COM
pletely any attacks on American YES
sells carrying contra band. That treaty
especially permits traffic in contra band
by the United States or Prussia in
time of war and outlines that contra
band owned by citizens of either pow
err may not be confscated. but can on
~ he detained and paid for Vessels,
according to its provisions, NUT be al
lowed to proceed after giving up their
contraband.
In the case of the William P. Frye,
the cargo was foreign owned and no
claim for it presented. but the question
of cargo. unless American owned,
would not, in the view of officials, af-
feet the case They hold that the Amer
lean ship should have been immune
from attack and that Germany in re-
atty violated once more the treaty of
1925
While officials were sparing in their
comment, it was indicated the United
States would fellow in its procedure
the same course as in the Frye, disput-
ing Germany's right to destroy Amer
lean ships even if carrying contraband.
