INTERNATIONAL COMPLICATIONS.
LANDING ON FRENCH SOULONDON, July 20. Last week Vinayak Savarkar, the Indian law student and Press correspondent, who was arrested in London on warrant, charging him with treason and abetting murder, and who was extradited to India, escaped through p. porthole of the RAl.s. Morea at Marseilles, but was recaptured. Owing to Savarkar landing on French soil, France has requested the suspension of his trial, and possibly he must return to France, pending a fresh application for extradition. The Paris correspondent of the "Times" reports that a French sergeant of the dock police captured Savarkar while he was clambering ashore, and handed him over to the officers of the Morea. The Socialists contend tbat he ought to have been handed to the chief of the harbour police. The persistence of __, Jaures and other Socialists induced M. Pichon (French Foreign Secretary) to courteously ask Britain for a stay of proceedings until the documents in connection with the case have been submitted to France.
The correspondent emphasises that any infringement of international law is due to the sergeant, and Britain is scarcely under an obligation to repair a French official's error.
