The opinion was also expressed that many other countries interested in the trade of the Danubian States, the interests of which are so complex that no pro posal would suit them all.
Mr. Lonely tendered a plen ol not guilty, and submitted that the words "interfere with" had two interpretations, One was inter- fering with the valves, and the other was interfering with the workings of the valves.
Comdr. Hole said it was obvious that the Ordinance intruded that the valves should be left severely alone.
