British Protest Over U S Seizure of Canadian Schooner Emerald
Britain lodged a formal protest with the State Department over the seizure of the Canadian schooner Emerald off the New Jersey coast. Washington says the capture occurred beyond the three mile limit and involved the vessel using its own boats to shore, a point Britain contests as outside American jurisdiction. The case tests the new policy restricting seizures to territorial waters unless vessels transport contraband ashore on their own boats. Diplomatic replies depend on Treasury findings confirming the seizure facts.
