British Ships Liable To Examination
LONDON, September 3,
The Admiralty announces that all British merchant vessels are liable to examination by the British naval contraband and control service.
British ships coming under any of the following categories will not normally be detained on interception longer than is necessary to establish their identity:— (1) Ships on Government charter. (2) Ships bound direct for British or allied ports, which will discharge all their cargo and passengers at that port. (3) Ships whose last call was British or allied, and which has a special war clearance from it. Germany and Sub-Warfare. Other British ships may, on interception on certain routes, be required to put into a contraband control base for more detailed examination. It is stated that, following the signing of the Anglo-German Naval Agreement of 1935, Germany agreed to adhere to the rules regarding submarine warfare set out in part four of the London Naval Treaty of 1930, and to accept them for herself, irrespective whether they were accepted by other Powers.
