RULES OF WAR
THE DECLARATION OF LONDON.
A NEWSPAPER DEFENCE
•{Received Last Night, 5.50 o'clock.)
LONDON, January 28
The Daily Mail publishes what it terms aai "official defence" of the Declaration of London.
It points out that the ships of belligerents will have no immunities under the Declaration. The security of food convoys would be dependent upon their own navies. The opponents of the Declaration had kept this view in the 'background, and had created an impression that merchantmen under British or neutral sail on the high seas would be unprotected, and. at the mercy of the enemy.
The Declaration, according to the Mail, secures and defines the rights of neutrals, and provides a tribunal uncontrolled by the belligerents. The question, therefore, is whether local Prize Courts are safer than International.
