BRITISH PROTEST
ON SHIP SEIZURE
Is OF WIDE SCOPE
Schooner Emerald's Case Dc
cupies Attention of Off
Gals at Washington.

WASHINGTON, oct 19.-(By A.
P)-Representations Of the British
government TO the state department,
in protesting against seizure beyond
the three mile limit OF the Canadian
schooner Emerald, held as a liquor
smuggler suspect, We're of wider
scope, il was learned today, than at
first known. In addition TO dealing
with the specific case of the Emer-
aid. the British communication pre-
scented the view that the recent
American executive order limiting
prohibition enforcement operations
20 territorial waters should apply TO
all previous seizures OF British craft
where It had not been established as
a matter Of fact, that the vessels
were sending contraband ashore in
her own boats.
The American answer 10 this claim
that the governments present policy
should have retroactive effect and
automatically release considerable
number of British vessels seized as
smugglers will be deferred until Of
fetal data as 20 the Emerald case is
at hand. The state department
transmitted the British communica-
tion to the treasury department to-
day with a request for a statement of
the facts Of the Emerald seizure. A
detailed report Of the report of the
officers responsible for the seizure
has not reached treasury officials and
IL may be some days before the state
department can reply to the British
memorandum.
The claim for retroactive effect of
the Administrations announced poll
icy on liquor smuggling seizures pre-
sents a possibility Of complications
