U S Protest Over Detention Of Ships At Gibraltar
The State Department prepared to protest Britain's hold on the American steamship Kroonland and its 200 passengers and copper cargo bound from New York to Italian and Greek ports. The case raises questions about cargo nature and passenger nationalities, and whether conditional contraband can justify detention. Officials noted Britain’s rule change on contraband and emphasized neutrality policies, while considering possible sanctions on loans to belligerents and the broader impact on American merchants and financiers.
