Russians Hold Positions in Reply to British
St. Petersburg reports that Russia maintains its stance on prize regulations in the simmering dispute over the sinking of the British steamer Knight Commander. The reply preserves Russia’s right to destroy neutral vessels carrying contraband in emergencies, vows not to use such measures unless to reach a prize court if possible, and notes Britain’s proposal on the Allanton as not accepted. Russia forwards documents in the Portland and Arabia case, while raising questions about contraband declarations and the Kalgat Commander dispute amid war.
