SEIZURE OF BRITISH TRAWLER.
JUSTIFIED BY GERMANY
BRITISH GOVERNMENT CAN DO NOTHING. United Press Association—copyright LONDON, May 18. In the House of Commons, Mr Maekinnon Wood, replying to Sir G. Doughty, stated that the German Government was of opinion that the seizure of the trawler General in the North Sea was justified, although the captain was acquitted of the charge of illegal fishing. Germany also claimed that there was no ground for compensation. Mr Wood added that nothing further was possible in the circumstances, and there was no ground for arbitration, as Germany had paid for the damage to the trawler.
