Italian boat was a victim broke out
almost Immediately after she had

the object of making one believe

This odious Interpretation, COM

ported that cargoes on italian YES

sideration than similar or equivalent

Average Delay l2.4 Days.
There is attached a list of Ameri-
can vessels en- route to neutral ports
detained by the British contra
band control during the period
November Is to December IS, from
which it will be seen that the aver
age delay imposed has amounted
to approximately 1874 days. From
information in possession of this
Government 1t is established that
Italian vessels detained during the
same period were held for an aver
age delay of only 4 days.
This Government must expect that
the British government will at least
take suitable and prompt measures
to bring about an immediate cor
rection of this situation. It will

situation has been corrected.

After q regional executive of the

should not take the adjournment of

When the memorandum from the

This Government feels constrained
to express its serious concern at the

Gibraltar. It has already made
clear its position as regards the
legality of interference by the Brit
ish government with cargoes moving

Italian ships are cooperating with
the British to greater extent than
American ships. The United States

from an American ship forced to
stop by them at Gibraltar. Eleven

ing members Of the crew OF the
italian liner Orazio said today that
the fire which DESTROYED their ship
and imperiled the lives Of more
than 600 aboard started when a
spark from a motor set fire to lu-
bricating oil. which In turn caused
fuel oil to explode.
Other survivors declared many of
the 10 persons reported missing had
died of exposure and told how a
badly burned Peruvian mother
jumped from the flaming ship into
the sea, leaving her baby aboard.
The Italian liners Conte Blanca
mano and Colombo brought more
than 500 survivors of the disaster
into port. About half of the num-
Der were injured or burned in the
explosion and fire which destroyed
the South America bound liner.
= Authorities investigating the cause

ment among survivors Of the crew
that it was preceded by an explosion.
Just where the explosion occurred
was not determined.
Seven ambulances carried the
worst Of the injured to hospitals.
Survivors said some scantily clad
victims died of exposure when waves
dashed over the nfeboats, drenching
the occupants. Others were lost
while being transferred from the
ship to lifeboats in the rough seas.
Seventy of the original SAB pas
sengers and crew aboard the vessel
have not been accounted for. Six
of those missing are believed to be
passengers. The Italian Line, which
owns the Orazio, said SCI persons
had been saved. Twelve Germans
were taken off the liner the day be-
fore the fire by French patrol boat.
The student explosion and fire
were reported to have destroyed
most of the Orazio's lifeboats.
Among II Colombians rescued by
the Colombo was Sonora Cecilia
Santos Ortiz, niece of the President
Of Colombia and wife of Colombias
Consul General at Genoa. She suf-
fered slight leg burns. Her daughter
Maria also was saved.
Enrique Forero, another survivor,
disclosed that he and his wife and
two children had been rescued from
the Netherlands liner Simon Bolivar
when it was sunk by a mine in the
North Sea last November 10, and ex-
pressed joy that their luck still
held.
