BERLIN*, February 27
The Fost, in, a violent article, denounces what it describes as the naivete ami folly of The Hague Tri'buual over its finding in the Savarkar case. The paper declares that the French police, by transferring Savarkar to the steamer Morea, without evan the appearance of formal proceedings, were guilty of a crass breach of international law. "This' shows.," adds the Post, "how far subservience to England has brought proud Fraaice. The verdict should act as a douche, to German enthusiasts for arbitration." (The Court held that Great Britain was not hound to surrender Savarkar to France. There was no rule in international law compelling a Power once in possession of a prisoner to surrender him owing to a foreign-agent's mistake in arresting him. Savarkar, an Indian student, who was extradited' from England on charges of sedition, escaped at Marseilles while being conveyed to India, but was recaptured by French officers.
