After two days of argument, the supreme court reserved de- cision. Its judgment — to be brought down later—will deter- mine whether the Browni terests can sue the Cuban gov- ernment for damages in a Can- | adian court.

‘The case involves eight ships | that were sold by the publicly owned Canadian National (West Indies) Steamships Limited in 1958 to a Cuban chartered bank, which in turn contracted with the Browning firm to operate them. Browning: also obtained an option to buy the vessels.
