Washington reports two defenses for the sinking of the rum runner PM Alone by coast guard vessels. A state department note, awaiting Secretary Stimson’s approval, argues seizures on the high seas were proper under the treaty with Canada, citing prior seizures of Vinces Gold Harbor and Pescawha and the three mile limit. The note asserts no protest was raised by Canada, confirming that the United States may stop search and seize liquor vessels within an hour’s reach of shore under force if needed.
