PROVISIONS AS CONTRABAND

The rumoured disposition of the Govern† ment to declare provisions destined for the Boer Republics to be contraband rigés Inter-Clansen, F. esting questions both of policy and law We do not propose in the present article to discuss how far it is policy for England, dependent as. she is for her food supply upon imports, to declare provisions contraband, but shall con- fine ourselves merely to the aspect of the question from the point of view of international In early tities nations always banned provisions destined for the enemy's court In 1626 Charles I, declared viciuals of all Borts contraband. The question was seriously disputed by the United States during the. wars between England and France com- mencing
in 1793. France and England both claimed to treat food supplies as contraband, a claim disputed by the United States, n neutral nation: Considerable terrespondence resulted between this country and the United States on the subject. The former insisted that the de- priving of any enemy of provisions was one of the means of reducing him to make
peace, that therefore
provisions could properly be treated as contraband. The United States, however, denied the right of a belligerent to treat articles of food produced in their country as contraband, unless they were being carried to a place subject to blockade. The dispute was never settled, but in a subsequent treaty between the two countries, certain declara tions were made which may probably
On
and
taken to represent the international lag the subject. It was admitted that provisions were not generally contraband, but might become so in cases not, however, defined. As a concession to the debateable character of the question, it was agreed that whenever provisions were comtraband, the captor should pay the owner for the food seized, together with a reasonable amount for profit.
The rule thus laid down is vagac, but not It would appear altogether unsatisfactory. from decisions of our Courts that provisions destined for consumption by the enemy's forces are undoubtedly contraband, and this is the American view also. Short of this, the circum- stances arising out of the situation of the war, or the conditions of the parties engaged in it, may justify food being held to be contraband. At the same time, the practice of belligerents has always been to treat provisions destined for a hostile country with indulgence, and especially so where foodstuffs are the staple produce of the neural country, to confiscate which would inflict serious loss on the friendly producing country. In the case of most articles of contraband confiscation is the penalty. This penalty is practically necessary in order to deter the subjects of neutral States from supplying the enemy with warlike stores. It must be re- membered that the neutral State itself is under no duty to present its subjects from supplying articles of contraband to à belligerent, but the suliject does so at his own risk ag to confisen- tion if the articles are captured in transitu. Bat this strict right of a belligerent to confiscate contraband is soffered down in the case of pravisions to one of preemption only. The English Naval Prize Act, 1864, Contains an express provision authorising the purchase of auch articles by the Admiralty (Sect. 35). The section applies to naval or victualling stores intended to be carried to a port of any enemy of Her Majesty." There is an evident disposition on the part of nations to refrain from treating provisions as contraband in all cases. Kent says "the modern established rule is that provisions are not generally contraband, but may become so under circumstances arising out of the particular situution of the war or the condition of the parties engaged in it
This, as is not unfrequently the case with abstract rules, leaves us with no very clear light for our guidance in the present war. Stores presumably intended for consumption by the Boer forces would clearly be contraband but such supplies as the Boers were in the habit of importing in times of peace are difficult to class. The trend of inter- national opinion appears to be against treating such supplies as contmband. There is now a merciful desire among civilised nations that the sigours of war should be confined to comba tante, and that non-combatants should, as far as possible, be relieved from the calamities which attend it. This is manifest from the more lenient treatment which private property now receives at the hands of hostile forces. It is to be noticed that in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 provisions were not treated by the Russian Government as contraband. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the Government may be able to abstain from a general declaration of food as contraband, a course that would cer- tainly generate friction between this country and neutral Powors-Economist.
