§ SIR EDWARD SASSOONTo ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will consider the advisability of issuing a Memorandum defining the position under international law of non-contraband goods in a ship carrying contraband goods, when the former belong neither to the owners of the ship nor to the owners of the contraband goods.
(Answered by Mr. A. J. Balfour.) It does not seem desirable that any official Memorandum should be issued dealing in 1457 the abstract with questions of law which may become the subject of judical decision.
