Delivering an oral opinion in The Maipo, 259 Fed. 367 Hough, Judge,and “Ithink the bar is entitled to know that I do not think the enormous extension of sovereign privilege demanded by vessels in all kinds of business of late months and years indicates any change or advance in the law at all. Thelaw remains the same. What has changed is the view which the governments of the world assume toward public duties or public enterprises.” Google Scholar
