SAVARKAR
INTERNATIONAL LAW POINT. By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyrisbt. The Hague, February 24. The Court of Arbitration at the Hague has decided that Britain is not bound to surrender the Indian, Savarkar, to France. The Court has decided that there is no rule of international law compelling a Power once in possession of a prisoner to surrender him owing to a foreign agent's mistake in not arresting him.
■Savarkar, who was accused of fomenting outrages in India, was being conveyed from England to Tndia under an extradition warrant, and when the veskc! was at Marseilles, managed to leap from a port-bole into the sea and get on to the wharf. From there he was returned to the ship by a wharf policeman. The suggestion tlion made was that, being a political prisoner, he ought not to have been recaptured from French soil. This point was submitted to the Arbitration Court at the Hague, and in Hie meantime Savarkar was tried in 1 India and sent to prison.
