Chicago.-Harry Pratt Judson. au- thority on international law, and president of the University of Ghica- go declared that the sinking of the City of Memphis was the strongest kind of an overt act He said:
 Aside from the itemized facts there are only two situations to be considered in this case:
 First, if the ship was sunk with out search. Such action without de- bate constitutes an overt act, a flag rant violation of international law.
 Second if the ship was first searched and then sunk The facts in the case state that the ship was on the voyage over was stopped, search ed and permitted to proceed It's status was thus already clearly es- tablishec by Germany. If on the re- turn voyage the ship had been search cd before its sinking, the log would have necessarily proved it's right on Germany's own judgment to proceed unmolested. Then in this case, too the sinking was an overt act-equal- ly violation of the law.
 'It would seem. however, without any debate whatever that the sinking of an American ship flying the Amer icar flag and bound with cargo for an American port-searched or not searched, warned or not warned-was irrefutably a violation of internation- al law.
 ''The circumstances are unique. But whatever they are finally established to be, the facts as they stand seem to allow for no escape from the con l clusion that Germany has committed an overt act"
