SHIPS IN CORFU CHANNEL
“NO GROUNDS FOR PROTEST”
(Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 30. The British Foreign Office considers that Albania has no grounds for its protest to the United Nations that British warships entered Albanian territorial waters on October 22 when the destroyers Sumarez and Volage struck mines in the Corfu Channel, says the Press Association. The channel betwen Corfu and Albania is an international channel. It is one of a number of channels which, although within the three-mile limit of territorial waters, are internationally recognised as normal channels for shipping. Merchantmen have the right to use them and warships may traverse them in “innocent passage.”
