1. ““The parties, on entering into the contract of partnership which provided for the establishment of an American house, must have understood that if the continuation of the contract, so far as it related to the American partner and the business conducted here, was, in case of war, a violation of the laws of this country, it could not be enforced here as an operative agreement. But whatever they thought about it and notwithstanding the partnership was not dissolved under the German law by the outbreak of war, it was under the law of the United States, for its laws do not sanction the continuation of business relations between its citizens and citizens of a nation with whieh it is at war. The Kensington, 183 U. S. 263 , 269, 22 Sup. Ct. 102 , 46 L. Ed. 190 , and cases above cited.””
