No. it would not. I wish to say. in response to the suggestion of the Senator from Kentucky. that for the first 12 months of the war there was absolutely no difficulty. there were practically no desertions from the ships because we were deporting them to the country where the government in exile was located. It developed before the committee that most of the governments in exile have maritime courts set up in England today where deserting seamen can be tried under their own laws. But a habeas corpus proceeding was brought in one of the United States district courts. and the court held that a seaman could not be deported unless he went to the country of his national origin. Manifestly. in the case of Norway. Belgium.
