Dacia Prize Case Tests U S Registry Policy
Galveston Texas January 16 The steamship Dacia formerly of the Hamburg American line sails for Bremen but faces a prize court ruling that could shape U S policy on new registry measures. The ship, loaded with cotton for German mills, was purchased by an American while interned at Port Arthur and now operates under an American crew. The outcome hinges on whether the transfer was a legitimate sale or a subterfuge to evade war laws, with British and State Department positions noted and wide implications for Southern cotton shippers and neutral registry rules established at the 1909 London conference.
