I'M ALONE'S SINKING
CALLED ACT OF WAR

Ottawa. May 2l.-(APp-Slnkiilg Of
the Canadian schooner I'm Alone by
q United States coast guard vessel
has been termed an act of war or an
act Of deliberate piracy on the floor
of the house of commons.
G. H. Cahan, conservative member
for st. LaWrence-St. George, in a
speech declared if the coast guard
boat sank the schooner under direct
instructions from American authori-
ties. the sinking was an act of war.
If the sinking was done without di-
rect authority but on the initiative Of
the commander of the coast guard
ship. it was an act Of deliberate
piracy, he asserted.
Cahan declared in his opinion
nothing in the United States prohi-
bition laws gave to the coast guard
the right to seize foreign ships beyond
the 12-mile limit and that therefore
the sinking of the I'm Alone on the
high seas 2l5 miles from the coast
was illegal.
