minister to Britain and handed

' the Altmark should be interned
An authoritative version of these
questions follows
1 —“In new of the known char-

starched and. if so what
found’
2 — U Norwegian authorities had
found prlsoren aboard what

J u^ed as a prison ship tor some

j 4—If she were considered a

warships with her’
Moreover, the British contention
is that the Altmark was armed,

' tried rnti-aircraft weapons! and
four machine-guns The British

armed auxiliary of the German

Germany s demands for Norwegian
action against the British placed

Germany already had protested
over ineffective protection afforded
by the Norwegian navy for Ute
Altmark tn Norwegian territorial
waters, where a British boarding
party Friday night attacked the
Altmark and released more than
300 captive British seamen from
the prison ship
On the other hand, there was
the British demand that the 12 -

Tlie English raid into neutral
Norwegian waters to rescue more
than 300 British seamen from the
Nazi prison-ship Altmark bids fair

Already it has precipitated a srfc- ’by <4rZ £flenn‘KerY lind neF
shooter argument In international
law wb.ch will outlast this war
It has placed Norway's anxiously
guarded neutrality In jeopardy, ow-
ing to Germany's anget because
Norway didn't prevent the delivery
-and if that neutrality goes by
the board we get a new line-up of
belligerents
It may help to influence the in-
auguration oX unrestricted Nazi
submarine and bombing campaign
against Allied shipping
The Germans and the Norwe-
gians charge England with viola-
tion of international law tn making
such an attack In neutral waters
Britain has informed Norway firm-
ly that the Germans themselves
were acting illegally by taking ad-
vantage of the cover of neutral wa-
ters. and that the British destroyer
Cossack was wholly within her
rights when sire drove the Altmark
among the rocks of the ice-bound
shore of the Fjord England also
challenges the Norwegian handling
of the situation.
International law’
Fortunately it isn t necessary that
you and I state just what we would
have done had we been on the
bridge of the slim, fast Cossack
and known that 300 of our com-
patriots were imprisoned in the
bowels of tlie Altmark And it isn’t
necessary, either, that we take the
place of the Altmark s captain or
the Norwegian authorities No man
is compelled to give testimony
which may tend to incriminate him
It is important to note, however.
Ural when it comes to internation-
al law in war time, the Judge, jury
and lord high executioner in any
case are one and the same indivi-
dual the fellow who is quickest on
the draw He says what the law is.
and that remains the law (for him)
so long as he can maintain it That
, is a cold fact which every neutral
, must face
Naturally this incident has made
