In a prize court session the attorney general sought condemnation of about 1,800 tons of dried fruits from New York and San Francisco aboard the steamers San Francisco and Pacific. The fruits were claimed for Sweden’s commission but alleged to be intended for export to Germany. The attorney general noted Sweden’s prewar annual need at 8,500 tons, 1915 imports at 11,559 tons, and half of 1916 imports at 6,600 tons, with 11,000 tons already on hand before the war and no dried fruits left by mid-1915, suggesting repeated guarantees were broken.
