San Francisco, Sept. 17. The British Vice Consul in San Francisco, Mr. T. Garvey, last night admitted that an Italian engineer, Angelo Gorrardes, 37, was removed from the Philippine freighter Dona Aurora 110 miles off the California coast on Saturday by a British warship.
"The utility of the Panama neutrality agreement," Mr. Garvey ex-pinned, "depends upon its énforeeability.' If the United States and the sister republics of the Western Hemisphere are prepared to enforce the Declaration of Panama, and keep both sides out of the neutrality zone, then, of course, such acts as this could not be permitted.'
He said he assumed Gorrardes would be taken to Canada for intern. ment. The Italian engineer was sailing aboard the Dona Aurora as an instructor for the*Filipino crew; He was a representative of an Italian shipbuilding company which recently sold the freighter to a Manila company. The Dona Aurora will arrive in Shanghai early next month—United Press. x Berlin's Main
