NOT NEUTRAL
ST. PIERRE & MIQUELON DECLARATION BY ADMIRAL MUSELIER. DENUNCIATION OF REPORTED PLAN. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) NEW YORK, February 1. The reported plans to neutralise the islands of St Pierre and Miquelon were denounced by Admiral Muselier, in an interview at St. Pierre with a correspondent of the North American Newspaper Alliance. He said that if St Pierre and Miquelon should be neutralised it would permit German submarines, under international law, to come to the islands in complete freedom, refuel, and return to the nearest German port. Admiral Muselier stressed the fact that he spoke for an overwhelmingmajority of the people of St. Pierre, who, he said, were not neutral. He was determined to follow his policy through to the end. He and his followers would never agree to be accomplices of those who blasphemed democracy and the right of people to decide their own fate.
