NO CO-OPERATION
SOVIET'S HIGH-HANDED ACTION STRONG RESENTMENT IN AMERICA The complete failure of the Russian Government to co-operate with the United States in connection with the detention of the American vessel City of Flint, is given in a statement by the Department of Investigation, Washington, which it is stated leaves the Soviet's avowed neutralitj- open to serious criticism.
The department states that not until Saturday night did the Russian Authorities intimate that the vessel had left Murmansk and this after it had already been learned that the ship had left twenty-four hours previously. According to international law, a vessel under a prize crew iuaA r only enter a neutral port owing to rough weather, lack of fuel or for repairs. In all other cases the crew of the belligerent country should be interned and the vessel handed over to her legitimate crew.
